**[Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets]{.underline}**

**The Vendor Must:**

Provide commercial hot food holding cabinets that earn the Energy Star
and meet the Energy Star specifications for energy efficiency as
outlined below. Dual function equipment, such as cook-and-hold models,
cannot qualify as ENERGY STAR. The vendor is encouraged to visit
energystar.gov for complete product specifications and an updated list
of qualifying products.

[]{.mark}

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Current Criteria---Effective August 15, 2003**

  Maximum Idle Energy Rate = 40 watts/ft^3^
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The maximum idle energy rate is based on the "idle energy rate---dry
test" in ASTM F2140-01. Interior volume (ft3) of each qualifying model
must be measured according to the protocol provided below.

Measuring Interior Volume: Commercial hot food holding cabinet interior
volume shall be calculated using straight-line segments following the
gross interior dimensions of the appliance and using the following
equation: interior height x interior width x interior depth. Interior
volume shall not account for racks, air plenums or other interior parts.

**[Commercial Ice Machines]{.underline}**

**The Vendor Must:**

Provide commercial ice machines that earn the Energy Star and meet the
Energy Star specifications for energy and water efficiency as outlined
below. **Ice machines that use water-cooled technology as well as flake
and nugget ice machines are not eligible for ENERGY STAR under Version
1.0.** EPA intends to include flake and nugget ice machines once a test
standard is made available and a robust database is established that may
be used to derive performance requirements. The vendor is encouraged to
visit energystar.gov for complete product specifications and an updated
list of qualifying products.

Y = 24 hr energy consumption (kWh/day) after the machine has stabilized

C = vendible capacity

Low Power Mode: In addition to meeting the 24-hour energy consumption
requirements listed above, qualifying models shall come equipped with
hard wired controls and/or software capable of automatically placing the
machine into a low power mode during periods of extended inactivity
while still connected to its power source to facilitate the saving of
additional energy, where appropriate. The machine shall be capable of
operating in each of the low power mode states described below:

1\. Lighting low power state -- lights off for an extended period of
time.

2\. Refrigeration low power state -- the average beverage temperature is
allowed to rise above 40°F for an extended period of time.

3\. Whole machine low power state -- the lights are off and the
refrigeration operates in its low power state.

In addition, the machine shall be capable of automatically returning
itself back to its normal operating conditions at the conclusion of the
inactivity period. The low power mode-related controls/software shall be
capable of on-site adjustments by the vending operator or machine owner.

Note: EPA's goal in including these low power mode requirements is to
ensure that existing machine software capabilities are available and may
be used to their fullest potential based on the individual requirements
of the host site. However, machines that are vending temperature
sensitive product, such as milk, must not have the refrigeration low
power state enabled on site by the vending operator or machine owner due
to the risk of product spoilage.
