Energy Conservation Program for Certain Industrial Equipment: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Heating,

Wed, Jul 16 2008 11:00:00 GMT

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, directs the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish energy conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial heating, airconditioning, and water heating products. Of particular relevance here, the statute also requires that each time the corresponding consensus standardthe American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and AirConditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE)/ Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Standard 90.1is amended, DOE must assess whether there is a need to update the uniform national energy conservation standards for the same equipment covered under EPCA. ASHRAE officially released an amended version of this industry standard (ASHRAE Standard 90.12007) on January 10, 2008, thereby triggering DOE's related obligations under EPCA. As a first step in meeting these statutory requirements, today's notice of data availability (NODA) discusses the results of DO

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Publication of the Petition for Waiver of Whirlpool Corporation

Thu, Jul 10 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This notice announces receipt of and publishes Whirlpool Corporation's (Whirlpool's) Petition for Waiver (hereafter, ``Petition'') from parts of the Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure for determining the energy consumption of electric refrigerators and refrigeratorfreezers. The waiver request pertains to Whirlpool's specified French door bottommounted residential refrigerators and refrigeratorfreezers, a product line that utilizes a control logic that changes the wattage of the antisweat heaters based upon the ambient relative humidity conditions in order to prevent condensation. The existing test procedure does not take humidity or adaptive control technology into account. Therefore, Whirlpool has suggested an alternate test procedure that takes adaptive control technology into account when measuring energy consumption. DOE is soliciting comments, data, and information concerning Whirlpool's Petition and the suggested alternate test procedure.
