Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Variable Refrigerant Flow Multi-Split Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps; Clarification
On February 10, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or ``the Department'') submitted a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR'') to the Federal Register proposing amended energy conservation standards for variable refrigerant flow (``VRF'') multi- split air conditioners and VRF multi-split heat pumps, collectively referred to as ``VRF multi-split systems'' (``2022 VRF NOPR''). After submission of the NOPR to the Office of the Federal Register for publication, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction on February 11, 2022, in the case of State of Louisiana v.
