Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pumps and Energy Conservation Standards for Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pumps; Reopening of Comment Period
On January 24, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published two requests for information (``RFIs'') regarding dedicated- purpose pool pumps. DOE published a RFI regarding test procedures for dedicated-purpose pool pumps and a RFI regarding energy conservation standards for dedicated-purpose pool pumps. The RFIs each provided an opportunity for submitting written comments, data, and information on the proposal by February 23, 2022. DOE received a request from the Pool and Hut Tub Alliance on February 9, 2022, and a joint request from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Southern California Edison on February 11, 2022, each asking DOE to extend the public comment periods for both RFIs for 30 additional days. DOE has reviewed these requests and is reopening the public comment periods to allow comments to be submitted until March 9, 2022.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for External Power Supplies, Webinar and Availability of the Preliminary Technical Support Document
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or ``the Department'') will hold a webinar to discuss and receive comments on the preliminary analysis it has conducted for purposes of evaluating energy conservation standards for external power supplies (``EPSs''). The meeting will cover the analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate potential standards for this product; the results of preliminary analyses performed by DOE for this product; the potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for this product should it determine that proposed amendments are necessary; and any other issues relevant to the evaluation of energy conservation standards for EPSs. In addition, DOE encourages written comments on these subjects. To inform interested parties and to facilitate this process, DOE has prepared an agenda, a preliminary technical support document (``TSD''), and briefing materials, which are available on the DOE website at: www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/ standards.aspx?productid=1.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Commercial Warm Air Furnaces
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to amend the test procedures for commercial warm air furnaces (``CWAFs'') to incorporate the latest versions of the industry standards that are currently incorporated by reference. DOE also proposes to establish a new metric, Thermal Efficiency Two (``TE2''), and corresponding test procedure. Use of the newly proposed test procedure would become mandatory at such time as compliance with amended energy conservation standards based on TE2 is required, should DOE adopt such standards. DOE also proposes additional specifications for CWAFs with multiple vent hoods or small-diameter vent hoods. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.
