內(nèi)容概述: 修訂的能源政策與節(jié)約法案1975（EPCA），規(guī)定了各類消費品及某些商業(yè)和工業(yè)設(shè)備能源節(jié)約標準，包括商用熱水器、熱水鍋爐和不用火加熱的熱水儲罐（以下稱為“商用熱水（CWH）設(shè)備）。EPCA還要求每6年，美國能源部(DOE)必須確定更嚴格的修訂標準是否技術(shù)上可行、經(jīng)濟上合理，并且能夠節(jié)約大量能源。在本措施中，能源部（DOE）暫時認為有明確充分的證據(jù)支持法規(guī)提案的某些類別設(shè)備更嚴格的標準。DOE在本措施中未考慮商用燃油儲水式熱水器更嚴格的標準，該類設(shè)備的標準最近已經(jīng)修訂。因此，DOE提出某些商用熱水設(shè)備修訂的節(jié)能標準，還宣布召開聽證會以便接收關(guān)于標準提案的意見以及相關(guān)分析和結(jié)論。

Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Water Heating Equipment (99 pages, in English)

Description of content: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial water heaters, hot water supply boilers, and unfired hot water storage tanks (hereinafter referred to as "commercial water heating (CWH) equipment"). EPCA also requires that every 6 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) must determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this action, DOE has tentatively concluded that there is clear and convincing evidence to support more-stringent standards for several classes of the equipment that are the subject of this rulemaking. DOE did not consider more-stringent standards in this action for commercial oil-fired storage water heaters, whose standards were recently amended. Therefore, DOE proposes amended energy conservation standards for certain commercial water heating equipment, and also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
