May 3, 2013: Court Will Consider HARDI’s Request to Continue Regional Standards Lawsuit
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit has referred the Heating, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) motion to continue the regional standards lawsuit to a merits panel for further review.
HARDI seeks to substitute itself as the petitioner in the case, to challenge the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) regional standards for central air conditioners and heat pumps, in addition to the furnace standard.
