Energy Efficiency Program: Test
Procedures for Residential Water
Heaters, Direct Heating Equipment,
and Pool Heaters
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Request for information.
AGENCY:
Through this Request for
Information (RFI), the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) is initiating a
rulemaking and data collection process
to consider amendments to DOE’s test
procedures for residential water heaters,
direct heating equipment, and pool
heaters. This rulemaking is intended to
fulfill DOE’s statutory obligation to
review its test procedures for covered
products at least once every seven years.
To inform interested parties and to
facilitate the process, DOE has gathered
data and has identified several issues
that might warrant modifications to the
current applicable test procedures,
including topics on which DOE is
particularly interested in receiving
comment. In overview, the issues
outlined in this document mainly
concern the scope, draw patterns, and
test conditions for residential water
heaters, possible clarifications and
improvement of the direct heating
equipment test procedures as applied to
vented hearth heaters, and coverage of
electric pool heaters. Additionally, this
RFI briefly discusses and seeks input on
certain potential changes to the test
procedures for these products that DOE
anticipates may be included in a
subsequent notice of proposed
rulemaking (NOPR). DOE welcomes
written comments from the public on
any subject related to the test
procedures for residential heating
