The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) hearing/workshop on the proposed 12-SEER standard for air conditioners and heat pumps, originally scheduled for September 13, finally proceeded on October 2. But it was not uneventful, starting off with a power outage that delayed the start of the proceedings. (See “Plenty of Surprises at DOE Hearing,” page 47.)
