(16) Commercial and Industrial Fans and Blowers. Each commercial and industrial 
fan or blower, manufactured after November 16, 2023, shall be marked, 
Qermanently and legibly on an accessible and consQicuous place on the unit in 
characters no less than 1[4 inch in tabular form (as shown below): 
® For Commercial and Industrial fans and blowers the label shall include the 
following information: 
Fan Energy Index > 1.00 Efficiency boundaries 
a. maximum air flow (CFM); 
13 b. maximum fan speed (RPM); 
c. maximum pressure (inches water gauge): and 
d. type of pressure ("static" or "total"). 
NOTE: Operation outside of these boundaries will result in an energy 
inefficient operation.
