September 3, 2020 The Honorable Dan Brouillette Secretary United States Department of Energy 1000 Independence Ave SW Washington, DC 20585 Dear Secretary Brouillette: We write to express our concern with the Department of Energy's (DOE) failure to update national energy efficiency standards for 26 types of consumer and commercial appliances - DOE's energy conservation standard for furnace fans use the fan energy rating ("FER") metric, which is the ratio of the electrical energy consumption to airflow, expressed as watts per 1,000 cubic feet per minute of airflow ("W/1000 cfm"). What is unique about these new efficiency standards is that they have allowed for . As of July 3, 2019, furnaces can no longer be manufactured unless they meet the minimum efficiencies. ACTION: Direct final rule. In most cases, the standards must be finalized within two years. Buildings whose permit applications are dated on or after January 1, 2020, must comply with the 2019 Standards. Many gas-fired water heaters, furnaces, and boilers currently allow a significant amount of heat to be wasted, but some models use condensing technology to capture heat and prevent waste. DOE has published a Federal Register notice of petition for rulemaking and a request for information pertaining to standards for residential furnaces 83 FR 54883 (November 1, 2018). In most cases the standards must be finalized within two years. The now-reversed rule, finalized in December 2020, effectively created a loophole for manufacturers to bypass energy- and water-saving requirements by redefining the word "showerhead." The DOE's decision restores standards that prevent wasteful . The Department of Energy (DOE) overturned a Trump administration rule Tuesday that had lowered federal efficiency standards for showerheads. SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (EPCA), Energy efficiency upgrades and a new high-efficiency heating system can often cut your fuel bills and your furnace's pollution output in half. The effective date is approaching for the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) new standard for furnace fans. The pump data submitted was flow, head, power and efficiency. DOE-2021: What to Expect and how U.S. Boiler Company has Responded. Electric motors (May 29, 2020) Furnace fans (July 3, 2020) Separately, DOE failed to finalize six standards after proposing an efficiency standard improvement. (You can read the full text of the final rule here ). The DOE used this information to determine the baseline standards and life cycle cost (LCC) analysis. EESI 1112 16th Street, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20036 (202) 628-1400 www.eesi.org States may choose to enforce standards that are more demanding than federal standards by requesting a waiver from DOE. furnace, and/or heat pump (when in cooling mode). The long-anticipated change, which was originally delayed in 2018, is now set to take effect in July of 2019. DOE Efficiency Standards for Residential AC and HP Packaged/Split Systems Effective January 1, 2023 Product Class National Southeast* Southwest** SEER HSPF SEER SEER EER Split-system air conditioners with a certified cooling capacity <45,000 Btu/h 14 15 15 12.2/10.2*** 2020) (multistate intervention in support of DOE standard for commercial packaged boilers); New York v. Bodman, Nos. Williams Furnaces are exempt from SCAQM district rule 1111. The Lab's Energy Technologies Area provided technical assistance to DOE and the stakeholder working group that negotiated the standards, as well as . Regional Efficiency Standards. The Department of Energy (DOE) has updated their FER standards that will take effect July 3, 2019. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) moved one step closer today to blocking a future administration from cutting the amount of natural gas wasted by furnaces and water heaters. DOE's proposed rule would set the national standard for gas furnaces at 80 percent efficiency, a level already met by 98 percent of furnaces sold today and less strict than the standards already adopted by a number of states. WASHINGTON (Nov. 9, 2020) - Six environmental and consumer groups are suing the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for failing to review and update energy efficiency standards for . The HVAC manufacturing industry is on notice that at some point the standards will rise. By ahaadmin. (a) The Commissioner shall adopt rules in accordance with the provisions of 3 V.S.A. It has since published three reports in Feb. 2018, Dec. 2018, and July 2019. This is essential if the nation is to achieve the new law's full energy-saving . Washington, D.C., September 7, 2005 - Alliance to Save Energy President Kateri Callahan today called on the Bush Administration and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to expedite long-overdue energy-efficiency standards for appliances and 16 new appliance standards required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards improve upon the 2016 Energy Standards for new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential and nonresidential buildings. The new standards continue to set different cooling efficiency levels for air conditioners in the south, and they also require an increase in the heating efficiency of all air-source heat pumps. DOE missed EPCA's 1994 deadline for a new rulemaking. Along with traditional lightbulbs that fit in table lamps, the plan required cone-shaped bulbs, reflector lamps, decorative lights and other types of bulbs to meet the 2020 efficiency level. If plugged, the drain can cause water damage in the house, affect indoor humidity levels, and breed bacteria and mold. In September of 2014, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced a new standard for furnace fan efficiency. On November 17, 2020, the Appliance Standards Awareness Project and the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy released a report that found that energy efficiency rules from the Department of Energy (DOE) for 47 products could reduce carbon emissions by 1.5 billion to 2.9 billion metric tons through 2050 which is equal to the closing 13 to 25 coal plants. Energy Efficiency Standards 2017 . Residential furnace fans incorporated in the products listed below and manufactured on and after July 3, 2019, shall have a fan energy rating (FER) value that meets or is less than the following standards: These new standards went into effect on January 1, 2015. Expect 80% Furnaces to Be Phased Out. On September 24, 2020, the Department of Energy (DOE) proposed a rule that could block future administrations from making gas-fired water heaters, furnaces, and boilers more efficient. chapter 25 establishing minimum efficiency standards for the types of new products set forth in section 2794 of this title. DOE further explained that pursuant to 42 U.S.C. What you can read next. PRODUCTS. Fan Coils. Electric motors (May 29, 2020) Furnace fans (July 3, 2020) Separately, DOE failed to finalize six standards after proposing an efficiency standard improvement. The standard was set at 80% AFUE, a level already met in 2007 by 99% of furnaces sold. DOE must publish new furnace efficiency standards by May 1, 2011. It's likely that they will scale back production of 80% AFUE gas furnaces and start building more furnaces with a higher efficiency rating. There will be opposition. The DOE has also proposed a policy to reduce future efficiency standards for furnaces and other gas appliances. 20-1068 (D.C. Cir. That's nice. B. DOE's Statutory Duty to Update Energy Efficiency Standards EPCA imposes a non-discretionary duty on DOE to periodically review and update efficiency standards for covered consumer and commercial or industrial products. the initial statutory efficiency standards for furnaces should be amended.15 Second, the law directed DOE to publish the second final rule by January 1, 2007, to determine whether efficiency standards for furnaces should be further amended. Williams Furnaces are Exempt from DOE 2019 Furnace Efficiency Rating (FER) Standards Change. In yet another attack on energy-saving policies, the Trump administration approved a rule in mid-January that will make it much more difficult to set new energy efficiency standards for many common appliances and equipment - from refrigerators, dishwashers and home furnaces to commercial air conditioners and industrial motors. A similar "short-cycle" rule was proposed for dishwasher standards. Pilot Outage. If plugged, the drain can cause water damage in the house, affect indoor humidity levels, and breed bacteria and mold. These exceptional furnaces represent the leading edge in energy efficient products this year.
