AHRI had sued to block regulations for commercial HVAC market equipment
A U.S. appeals court Monday ruled against an HVAC manufacturer group it its attempt to throw out the Energy Department’s 2014 efficiency standards and testing procedures for commercial refrigeration equipment.
The 7th U.S Circuit Court of Appeals said the government was proper in its rule making and the final regulations, which boosted the efficiency of items such as walk-in freezers and refrigerators about 30 percent above 2009 levels. The new rules take effect next year.
