Energy Efficiency Program: Energy Conservation Standards Furnace Fans: Public Meeting and Availability of the Framework Document

요약

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is initiating the rulemaking and data collection process to consider establishing new energy conservation standards or energy use standards for the use of electricity for purposes of circulating air through duct work of residential heating and cooling systems (hereinafter referred to as "furnace fans"). To inform interested parties and to facilitate this process, DOE has prepared a framework document that details the analytical approach and scope of coverage for the rulemaking, and identifies several issues on which DOE is particularly interested in receiving comment. DOE will hold an informal public meeting to discuss and receive comments on its analytical approach and the issues it will address in this rulemaking proceeding. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on any subject within the scope of this rulemaking. A copy of the framework document is available at: http:// www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/residential/ furnace_fans.html.
