DOE Seeking Information on Commercial Furnace Standards
Periodic Review is Energy Policy and Conservation Act Requirement
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a request for information to assess whether the existing energy-conservation standards for commercial warm-air furnaces should be amended.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended by the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act (AEMTCA) on Dec. 18, 2012, requires the DOE to consider amending the standards for any covered commercial and industrial equipment for which more than six years has elapsed since the issuance of the most recent final rule establishing or amending a standard.
