The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released a performance test method for the heating mode of Energy Star indoor air conditioners
Time：
2024-08-13
The US EPA and DOE have launched the final testing method for the heating mode performance of Energy Star indoor air conditioners, aiming to improve energy efficiency standards. The testing method has been revised based on feedback from multiple parties to ensure accurate evaluation. EPA releases test report template to assist manufacturers. The new standards help improve energy efficiency in the industry and promote sustainable development.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that the highly anticipated final testing method for the heating mode performance of Energy Star indoor air conditioners has been officially launched. This new standard is an important measure in response to global energy efficiency and environmental protection needs, aimed at promoting the air conditioner industry towards higher energy efficiency standards.
During the development process, EPA and DOE extensively solicited opinions and suggestions from multiple stakeholders including brand owners, manufacturers, consumer groups, and industry experts. Among them, regarding the defrosting test of the variable speed indoor heat pump (RHP), the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Ministry of Energy have adopted feedback and decided to introduce a correction factor of 0.95 in the heat efficiency ratio (HEER) formula to ensure the accuracy and conservatism of the evaluation results.
In addition, EPA and DOE have also corrected minor errors in the testing methods and provided editorial clarifications to improve the operability and transparency of the testing methods. In order to further assist manufacturers and stakeholders, the US Environmental Protection Agency has also released the Energy Star indoor air conditioner heating mode performance test report template to standardize the data reporting process. All relevant documents and final draft opinions can be viewed on the "Energy Star Indoor Air Conditioner Heating Mode Test Method Development" webpage. The centralized release of this resource provides a valuable information platform for industry participants to better understand and apply new testing methods. With the release of this testing method, EPA expects the air conditioner industry to actively respond and jointly promote the energy efficiency improvement of products, making positive contributions to achieving global sustainable development goals.
Energy Star manufacturer partners are limited to organizations that own and/or license brand names to sell qualified products in the United States and/or Canada. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) that do not sell directly to consumers or end-users are not eligible for partnership relationships. Original equipment manufacturers can certify products on behalf of Energy Star brand owners/licensees; However, the brand owner must be an Energy Star partner directly related to the certified product model, as only partners have the right to use the Energy Star certification mark.
