Sept. 16, 2014: ACCA, IHACI Comment on California HVAC Impact Evaluation Draft Report
Industry Sees Serious Deficiencies That Were Not Addressed
ARLINGTON, Va. — ACCA and the Institute of Heating & Air Conditioning Industries (IHACI) announced they have sent a joint letter to the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) regarding CPUC WO32 (HVAC Impact Evaluation Draft Report) that urges the commission to refrain from releasing the report in its current form.
As the CPUC WO32 was progressing, ACCA and IHACI, along with industry partners the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), ASHRAE, Heating, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI), RSES, and others, worked through the Western HVAC Performance Alliance (WHPA) to identify and resolve what were seen as serious deficiencies in the effort. However, on Aug. 27, 2014, the CPUC released the draft final report, which did not address the flaws identified by the industry.
