Powerful Priorities: Updating Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Furnaces, Commercial Air Conditioners, and Distribution Transformers

Steven Nadel, Andrew deLaski, Jim Kliesch, Anna Monis Shipley, Edward Osann, and Charlie Harak

September 2004


Summary

New standards will soon be drawn up by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) increasing or establishing new minimum energy efficiency requirements for

  • residential furnaces and boilers
  • commercial central air conditioning
  • distribution transformers

As this report seeks to demonstrate, the stakes are high in DOE's rulemaking process for these priority products.  Important opportunities to save energy, reduce energy-related pollution, avoid power outages, and save consumers money will be considered and decided upon during the course of these regulatory proceedings.
