Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products and Certain Commercial and Industrial Equipment: Proposed Determination of Portable Air Conditioners as a Covered Consumer Product

Краткое содержание

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the "Department") has determined tentatively that portable air conditioners (ACs) qualify as a covered product under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended. DOE has determined that portable ACs meet the criteria for covered products because classifying products of such type as covered products is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of EPCA, and the average U.S. household energy use for portable ACs is likely to exceed 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year.
