D. Commercial refrigeration cabinets shall meet the requirements shown in the following table:
| Equipment Type | Maximum Daily Energy Consumption (kilowatt hours) |
| Reach-in cabinets, pass-through cabinets, and roll-in or roll-through cabinets that are refrigerators with solid doors |
0.125V + 2.76 |
| Reach-in cabinets, pass-through cabinets, and roll-in or roll-through cabinets that are refrigerators with transparent doors |
0.172V + 4.77 |
