The Department of Energy (DOE) approved a waiver for Senneca Holdings allowing them to use a different test procedure for specific models of walk-in cooler and freezer doors to better measure energy use. This decision was made because the current DOE test procedure was found to inaccurately represent the actual energy consumption of Senneca's door models. The alternate test procedure requires using a higher power-off time percentage for door motors in these models. This waiver is effective from January 4, 2021, and will remain in place until any future changes to the DOE test procedures address the issues presented.
