The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has introduced new energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers. These changes aim to significantly reduce energy consumption, are technologically feasible, and economically justified. Starting March 24, 2025, the new standards will be in effect, requiring compliance by January 22, 2029. The department predicts considerable energy savings and reduced emissions resulting from these updated standards.
Simple Explanation
The government has decided that big fridges and freezers used in stores need to be more energy-efficient. This means they'll use less electricity, which is good for the environment and helps save money too!
