Screening Analysis for EPACT-Covered Commercial HVAC and Water-Heating Equipment.

DE2001781428

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Somasundaram, S.; Armstrong, P. R.; Belzer, D. B.; Gaines, S. C.; Hadley, D. L.
Page Count	225
Abstract	The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) establishes that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulate efficiency levels of certain categories of commercial heating, cooling, and water-heating equip-ment. EPACT establishes the initial minimum efficiency levels for products falling under these categories, based on ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-1989 requirements. EPCA states that, if ASHRAE amends Standard 90.1-1989 efficiency levels, then DOE must establish an amended uniform national manufacturing standard at the minimum level specified in the amended Standard 90.1 and that it can establish higher efficiency levels if they would result in significant additional energy savings.
