  • 2024-30274 — Energy Conservation Program: Commercial Warm Air Furnaces; Notification of Tentative Determination and Request for Comment
    💰
    Type:Rule

    Reading Time:about 31 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has proposed a tentative decision that the current industry test procedure for commercial warm air furnaces (CWAFs) does not accurately reflect their energy efficiency. This new determination critiques the industry's method for failing to consider jacket losses and part-load performance, which impact the true energy efficiency of the equipment. DOE plans to apply a revised test procedure (called TE2) that accounts for these factors and is seeking public comments on this proposed method before making a final decision. Stakeholders can submit their feedback to help ensure the new test procedure is fair and representative of the furnaces' real-world performance.

They found out the way they were checking wasn't really good at seeing how much energy the heaters actually used. Now, they want to test the heaters in a better way and are asking for ideas from others on how to do it right.

    The Federal Register Office has decided to remove Chapter XL of Title 5 from the Code of Federal Regulations. This chapter contained the ethical conduct standards for employees of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which was abolished in 1995. The removal takes effect on December 26, 2024, as part of maintaining an orderly system of codification. The Interstate Commerce Commission has been non-existent since January 1, 1996.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Register Office is cleaning up the rulebook by removing some old rules about how workers behaved at a company called the Interstate Commerce Commission, which doesn't exist anymore since 1996. They're doing this to keep our rulebook neat and tidy.
