### (9:00 a.m.) 3 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Welcome. This is the public 4 

### meeting on portable air conditioners, both test 5 

### procedures and energy conservation standards. Today 6 

### is March 18th, 2015 here at the Department of Energy 7 

### in Washington, D.C. My name is Doug Brookman, Public 8 

### Solutions, Baltimore. Nice to see you this morning. 9 

### We are going to start with welcoming remarks from 10 

### Bryan Berringer. 11 

### MR. BERRINGER: Yes, good morning and 12 

### welcome everybody and everybody on the webinar. We 13 

### appreciate your space in the day. We are going to 14 

### basically -- we'll talk about this morning the test 15 

### procedure section. We are going to work through. If 16 

### we get ahead of schedule, we will continue into the 17 

### standards rulemaking. It will be considered two 18 

### separate document rulemakings, but we will -- again if we 19 

### get behind schedule, if we get ahead of schedule 20 

### continue with standards as we move on, so it will be 21 

### a continuous meeting. 22 

### We will take a time for a lunch break soThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### everybody has that in there, so we will do that. 2 

### Again, this is a new product as far as regulations and 3 

### test procedures, so part of the discussion is going to 4 

### be developing the test procedure and this afternoon 5 

### doing the standards and Ron Majette will be the 6 

### project manager on the standards and I am again the 7 

### primary contact on the test procedures. 8 

### And that you, we want to hear your 9 

### discussions and we especially want to hear your 10 

### feedback, so that is what this is about to make sure 11 

### that we have the right test procedure, and something 12 

### that makes sense, something that is repeatable and 13 

### reliable and that, you know, we can feel we have a good 14 

### product and again thank you. 15 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Thank you. I see a few new 16 

### faces in the room. We welcome you especially. We 17 

### always start with introductions here at the outset. 18 

### I'll start to my immediate left. You can get used to 19

## As Bryan said we will move directly, if we 9 

## get ahead of schedule, into the standards portion of 10 

## this meeting. Two meetings today running continuous, 11 

## test procedures then standards. However, whenever we 12

## De'Longhi would support a reasonable DOE 18

## products, which have been meeting the needs of 5 

## satisfied customers for over 25 years. If DOE 6 

## insists on a requirement for infiltration air, we 7

## air conditioners (such as window and central), 11 

## represent a very specific market segment that meets 12 

## specific consumer needs. 13 

## They are a unique solution for consumer 14

## of air conditioners is forbidden or impracticable, 16 

## for example, in rental situations. They do not have 17 

## an impact on the external part of the building, 18 

## because they do not need an external unit or a 19 

## portion of a unit extending outdoors. 20 

## They do not need installation or 21

### MR. BERRINGER: And let me just -- as we 5

### will give you an opportunity also for people to 8 

### comment on the data or information concerning for 9 

### what ACs this will be throughout the standard test 10

### issue or a concern with, we would invite comment on 13 

### that as part of the analysis so anything that -- when 14 

### you see these green boxes, that's an issue that 15 

### typically was listed in the notice of proposed 16

### give us the time to also stop talking and see if 18

### procedure or standards as far as federal 2 

### requirements. DOE gave the notice of proposed 3 

### determination for coverage back in July of 2013 and 4 

### now its a federal register notice. DOE tentatively 5 

### determined that portable air conditioners met the 6 

### Energy Policy Conservation Act, or EPCA, for a covered 7 

### product criteria, so basically that criteria is, you 8 

### know, necessary for purposes of EPCA and the average 9 

### household energy usage is likely to exceed a hundred 10 

### kilowatt-hours. 11 

### DOE published a notice of data 12 

### availability in May of 2014 that evaluated industry 13 

### test procedures and other modification approaches. It was 14 

### also published in the federal register, so again 15 

### that's leading into this meeting here too. Concurrent 16 

### to this test procedure rulemaking, DOE conducted 17 

### a preliminary analysis to consider the establishing of 18 

### energy conservation standards for portable ACs, 19 

### which again is what we will discuss this afternoon in 20 

### more detail. 21 

### So in this NOPR, DOE proposes to establish 22

## new appendix CC. Okay, at this point I want to turn 2 

## to -- are there any questions so far on the 3 

## regulatory history of where we are at today? Okay, 4 

## seeing none we will go ahead and turn it over to 5 

## Nadav Singerman from Navigant Consulting, and he is 6 

## going to talk about the definition as far as what are 7 

## covered products and lead into the next section as far 8 

## as the Appendix CC. 9 

## MR. BROOKMAN: As we are going along, I'm 10 

## going to be cuing for the purposes of making the 11 

## transcript clear which page we are on. We are now on 12 

## page 15. Nadav? 13 

## MR. SINGERMAN: All right thank you Bryan. 14 

## So first we are going to begin to discuss the 15 

## proposed definitions that were in the test procedure 16 

## NOPR. So DOE proposed to define a portable air 17 

## conditioner as listed on this slide. This is the 18 

## definition that we have been carrying over. It was 19 

## initially in the notice of proposed determination and 20 

## then again in the notice of data availability. 21 

## Just to point out, probably the largest 22 

## change that was made here was the proposal to includeThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 19 1 

### room air conditioners and dehumidifiers to be 2 

### excluded from the definition of portable air 3 

### conditioners. In the test procedure NOPR, DOE also 4 

### proposed definitions for product configurations of 5 

### portable air conditioners, being a single-duct unit, 6 

### which is a portable AC that draws the condenser air 7 

### from the conditioned space without a duct and the discharge 8 

### is the condenser outlet air from the conditioned space 9 

### through a single duct. 10 

### Another configuration that was defined was 11 

### a dual-duct unit, where the condenser inlet air is 12 

### brought in from outside the conditioned space through 13 

### a duct and then, similar to a single-duct unit, the 14 

### condenser outlet air is exhausted outside of the 15 

### conditioned space. DOE also defined a spot cooler as 16 

### a portable AC that draws the condenser inlet air and 17 

### also it discharges the condenser outlet air within 18 

### the conditioned space and then draws the evaporator 19 

### inlet air and discharges the evaporator outlet air to 20 

### a zone in the conditioned space. 21 

### So to review, some of the portable AC 22 

### characteristics and features of single and dual-ductThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 20 1 

### units DOE found to be very similar. They have a 2 

### similar cooling capacity range of 5,000 to 14,000 BTU 3 

### per hour as listed in product literature and tested 4 

### according to current industry test methods. 5 

### Spot coolers however have larger rated 6 

### cooling capacity, greater than 14,000 BTU per hour. 7 

### Single and dual-duct units typically weigh about 50 8 

### pounds or greater, whereas spot coolers weigh greater 9 

### than 100 pounds. Regarding intended application, 10 

### single and dual-duct units are typically intended for smaller 11 

### rooms within homes, whereas spot coolers are intended 12 

### for large spaces and harsher applications. 13 

### Single and dual-duct units are typically 14 

### constructed from plastic materials, whereas spot 15 

### coolers are constructed from metal. Regarding condensate 16 

### collection, single and dual-duct units typically 17 

### have an auto evaporation feature where any collected 18 

### condensate is pushed out through the condenser 19 

### exhaust, whereas spot coolers typically have an 20 

### internal collection bucket which is then drained away 21 

### from the unit. 22 

### And in terms of market share, single andThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 21 1 

### dual-duct units have the vast majority at about 98%, 2 

### whereas spot coolers have a much smaller percentage 3 

### of about 1 and a half%. So at this time, DOE proposed that 4 

### although spot coolers would meet the proposed 5 

### definition of portable ACs as gone over in the last 6 

### slide, DOE is not currently considering a test 7 

### procedure for spot coolers at this time. 8 

### So an issue for discussion, DOE seeks 9 

### comment on the proposed definitions for portable ACs 10 

### and their specific configurations. DOE also seeks 11 

### comment on the proposal that spot coolers will not be 12 

### tested under the proposed test procedure. 13 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Comments here on these 14 

### definitions, and comments would be useful as this is a 15 

### new product. No comments here? Yes, please, Jim 16 

### Crawford? 17 

### MR. CRAWFORD: This is Jim Crawford. I 18 

### think that the definitions may be overly narrow and, 19 

### you know, lead to some confusion as we go downstream. 20 

### There seems to be a very definite emphasis here on 21

### is one phase or three phase. 4 

### That may not be relevant for these 5

### MR. BROOKMAN: Thank you, thanks very 18 

### much. No thoughts here on the definitions? Nothing 19 

### additional? Okay, let's proceed. 20 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Thank you for your 21 

### comment. So now we are going to move on and discuss 22 

### the specific proposals that DOE has presented to be includedThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 23 1 

## in the Appendix CC. 2 

## So just from the outset, DOE identified 3 

## various different operating modes for portable ACs. 4 

## We have an active mode, standby and off modes, and 5 

## then an off-cycle mode. With an active mode, there's 6 

## a number of modes that follow within active mode and 7 

## also a standby and off mode, and we will discuss those 8 

## specifically later. 9 

## So moving on to the active mode, DOE 10 

## proposed in the test procedure NOPR that an active 11 

## mode is defined as when the portable AC is connected 12 

## to a power source, has been activated and is 13 

## performing a main function, which would be cooling or 14 

## heating the conditioned space, the air circulation, as 15 

## well as defrosting the refrigerated coil. 16 

## So within active mode there is two other 17 

## -- there's two primary modes, cooling and heating 18 

## mode. Those are both where the main either cooling 19 

## or heating function is activated based on a 20 

## temperature sensor or a thermostat signal within the 21 

## unit, and that the main component for cooling would be 22 

## the refrigeration system and for heating would be theThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### refrigeration system which are reverse flow or with a 2 

### resistance heater that has been activated, or the blower is 3 

### running without activation of that primary system. 4 

### DOE also identified two other modes that it 5 

### has not proposed to be measured in the proposal. The 6 

### first is air circulation mode. This is a consumer 7 

### initiated mode where the consumer presses the air 8 

### circulation mode button on the unit. The main 9 

### cooling and heating functions are disabled in this 10 

### mode, the fan or blower is operating either 11 

### continuously or cyclically to circulate air 12 

### throughout the space, and DOE is not including this 13 

### mode because it does not have information on the 14 

### consumer usage of this feature, which is something 15 

### that we would be interested if anybody can comment 16 

### on. 17 

### The other mode is dry or dehumidification 18 

### mode. This is the mode where the unit adjusts its 19 

### operation to maximize latent heat removal instead of 20 

### sensible heat removal. Typically the duct set up is 21 

### modified and there is a drain set up required. DOE 22 

### is not including this mode as it is not a primaryThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 25 1 

## mode of operation and would therefore have a low 2 

## impact on annual energy consumption. 3 

## Also, a recent metering study showed that 4 

## no users use this mode as well, so if it were to be 5 

## included it would disproportionately increase the 6 

## test burden. So DOE requests comment on the proposed 7 

## active mode definition as well as the proposed 8 

## definitions of cooling and heating modes. 9 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Comments here on active 10 

## mode definitions? Okay, no comments here, Joanna 11 

## Mauer? 12 

## MS. MAUER: I have two questions. One, I 13 

## was wondering if you could just explain the units 14 

## that have the reverse cycle heat pumps to provide 15 

## heating, if you could explain how they work, and my 16 

## other question is air circulation mode -- is that 17 

## different than the off-cycle mode? 18 

## MR. SINGERMAN: Yes, so for your first 19 

## question, it will be the same components but there is 20 

## one extra component, which is a valve that would 21 

## switch the flow of the refrigerant to go backwards to 22 

## the unit and would then produce heating inside andThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 26 1 

## push cold air outside. 2 

## MS. MAURER: This is Joanna. So is there 3 

## air coming in from outside, or where is the heat 4 

## coming from? 5 

## MR. SINGERMAN: I mean there's refrigerant 6 

## and there's a compressor inside of the unit, and 7 

## depending upon which direction the refrigerant is 8 

## flowing in, you have the heat exchanger that's going 9 

## to be blowing air. The air will flow over inside the 10 

## conditioned space and then there is a heat exchanger 11 

## that will be connected to a duct and push air outside 12 

## of the conditioned space, and so what will happen is, 13 

## depending upon the direction the refrigerant is 14 

## flowing in, the indoor heat exchanger could be cold 15 

## or hot and so it's just a matter of which direction 16 

## it is flowing. 17 

## So in cooling, you would have the indoor 18 

## heat exchanger be cold and that is the evaporator. 19 

## If you switch the flow, the indoor heat exchanger 20 

## would be hot. 21 

## MS. MAURER: I'll follow up later. 22 

## MR. SINGERMAN: Okay sure. Oh, and then theThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 27 1 

### second question, air circulation mode yes, it is 2 

### different than off-cycle mode. For off-cycle mode, the 3 

### unit would actually be -- the mode that it would enter 4 

### from would be from a cooling or heating mode and then, 5 

### depending upon the temperature of the conditioned 6 

### space, then it would cycle to off-cycle mode. Air 7 

### circulation mode would be a separate button on the 8 

### panel which would say, you know, fan mode or air 9 

### circulation or something so that would be separate -- 10 

### a separate mode completely from off cycle. 11 

### MS. MAURER: Okay. 12 

### MR. SINGERMAN: And we will discuss off 13 

### cycle later, the definition and how it will be 14 

### tested. 15 

### MS. MAURER: Thank you. 16 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Active mode definitions? 17 

### Comments on those? None at this time, okay we are 18 

### moving on. 19 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Okay so we are going to 20 

### begin with cooling mode, first active mode, primary 21 

### active mode performance. There are generally three test 22 

### procedures that DOE identified that measure portableThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 28 1 

### AC performance in cooling mode -- those being AHAM's 2 

### PAC-1, CSA has one, as well as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 3 

### 128. All of these test procedures measure cooling 4 

### capacity and energy efficiency ratio based on an air 5 

### enthalpy approach that monitors the air flow rate, the 6 

### dry-bulb 7 

### temperature and the water vapor content of the 8 

### air over the evaporator. 9 

### So after analyzing these test procedures, 10 

### DOE found no significant differences among the 11 

### results that were produced from them. So DOE 12 

### conducted testing according to PAC-1, at that time it 13 

### was 2009 when the testing was conducted, that was the 14 

### latest version of AHAM's PAC-1, and DOE approached 15 

### this as a baseline testing. DOE also performed 16 

### calorimeter testing, which is an approach that looks at 17 

### the net cooling to the conditioned space as tested 18 

### for room air conditioners and that's ANSI/ASHRAE 19 

### Standard 16, and we have just a picture here of what 20 

### the test set up looked like. 21 

### You have the evaporator exhaust ducted 22 

### with instrumentation as well as both condenser ducts,The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 29 1 

### as this is a dual-duct unit. Based on the results of the 2 

### baseline testing, DOE found that the current industry 3 

### test procedures for portable ACs neglect some 4 

### significant heat transferring due to air infiltration 5 

### and other heat losses, and there's further information 6 

### in the May 2014 NODA where a lot of the data is 7 

### presented. 8 

### So here is just a one graph chart of the 9 

### data that DOE collected from its testing, and what we 10 

### have here charted is the baseline testing from AHAM 11 

### PAC-1, as well as the calorimeter testing, and we show 12 

### the cooling capacity and the cooling mode EER. 13 

### And what we find is, according to the baseline testing, 14 

### the units have much higher cooling capacities and 15 

### EERs, whereas the calorimeter test which looks at the 16 

### net effect of the chamber to the room had much lower 17 

### cooling capacities and EERs. 18 

### In fact, some units actually produce a net 19 

### heating effect to the chamber. So -- and these 20 

### results are based on both single-duct and dual-duct 21 

### units. So based on the testing, DOE preliminarily 22 

### determined that ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 16, which is theThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 30 1 

## calorimeter method, has overly burdensome conditions 2 

## and requirements, and they are difficult to maintain 3 

## throughout testing. Mainly, it requires a specific 4 

## calorimeter chamber and may also require additional 5 

## components to help maintain conditions in the space 6 

## when the portable AC is operating. For example, some 7 

## would be fans to circulate the air, humidifiers, 8 

## dehumidifiers and scales to manage all of the 9 

## moisture and water that is coming in and out. 10 

## Also, there is a pretty complex analysis 11 

## that is required to then incorporate all of those 12 

## components to determine their heating effects to the 13 

## chamber. So DOE found that the AHAM PAC-1 was the 14 

## least burdensome approach. However, it would require 15 

## some modification to represent typical use. 16 

## DOE did not identify any differences 17 

## between the 2009 and the updated 2014 version of 18 

## PAC-1, so DOE referenced AHAM PAC-1-2014 in the test 19 

## procedure NOPR. So in the test procedure NOPR, DOE 20 

## proposes that AMAM PAC-l be the basis of the DOE test 21 

## procedure for portable ACs. The test method set up 22 

## is less burdensome than the calorimeter approach.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 31 1 

### DOE is also proposing that PAC-1-2014, 2 

### although it would be the basis, that there be some additional 3 

### measurements and calculations to account for 4 

### infiltration air, case and duct heat transfer effects, 5 

### and we will discuss those later on. So just on the 6 

### outset, DOE seeks comment on the proposed reference of 7 

### PAC-1-2014 as the basis for the portable AC test 8 

### procedure. 9 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Jennifer? 10 

### MS. CLEARY: Jennifer Cleary. AHAM 11 

### supports the use of AHAM PAC-1-2014, and we note that 12 

### you did mention that there were no differences in the 13 

### 2009 and 2014 version and that's generally true. The 14 

### main changes that we made were primarily editorial in 15 

### nature, I guess you could say, and we are here to 16 

### harmonize with the Canadian test procedure. And I 17 

### think that brings up an important point, which is that 18 

### we, you know, it's important that we have the North 19 

### American method here. Canada has in the past 20

## harmonization between the two countries. And so in 3 

## AHAM's view, the best way to accomplish that 4 

## harmonization is to incorporate by reference AHAM 5 

## PAC-1-2014, period. And so that means we do not agree 6 

## with the additional measurements that DOE is 7 

## proposing, and of course we will expand on that more 8 

## fully in our written comments and perhaps a little 9

## MR. SINGERMAN: So I guess in response, you 4 

## know our understanding of PAC-1 is to measure the 5

## understanding is that there is no accounting for the 8 

## heat that may be lost in space due to the case, other 9

## MS. MAUER: Joanna Mauer. I just had one 20

## the calorimeter approach in maintaining the indoor 22 

## and outdoor conditions. I just want to betterThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 36 1 

### understand kind of why it is more challenging than 2 

### testing a room air conditioner? Is it because of the 3 

### infiltration air or -- 4 

### MR. SINGERMAN: So for the calorimeter 5 

### approach, instead of looking at the unit itself you 6 

### look at the chamber that it is sitting in and how 7 

### much energy is required to maintain the conditions 8 

### within that chamber. So while the portable air 9 

### conditioner is operating, it is impacting the chamber 10 

### and you have to counteract the cooling that it is 11 

### providing more heating with the various components, 12 

### and some of these chambers that are specific for room 13 

### ACs may not be capable for portable ACs, and you 14 

### might need to bring in other components to either help 15 

### counteract the portable AC's operation. 16 

### And also there's the infiltration air that 17 

### you are talking about, so to maintain a zero pressure 18 

### balance between the indoor chamber and the outdoor 19 

### chamber, you have to pass air back into the indoor 20 

### chamber, especially for single-duct units that are 21 

### pushing air out, and we will discuss on the next slide its 22 

### infiltration air that also impacts the indoor chamberThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 37 1 

## in which you are using your calorimeter method to see 2 

## how much energy is required to maintain the 3 

## conditions. So the infiltration air, as well as all of 4 

## these other components that may be required, are why 5 

## it is so complex. 6 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Okay and we are going to 7 

## get into more detail on this. Yes, okay Nadav proceed. 8 

## MR. SINGERMAN: Okay, so first we are going 9 

## to discuss the infiltration air proposal. So when 10 

## portable ACs are operating in a conditioned space, 11 

## they often create a negative pressure which then 12 

## causes other air to come back into the room from 13 

## other places, and we refer to that as infiltration 14 

## air. 15 

## For the purposes of this test procedure 16 

## NOPR, DOE assumed that the infiltration air is 17 

## originating from the unconditioned or outdoor space, 18 

## and so we have a diagram here for a single-duct unit 19 

## and dual-duct units. And for a single-duct unit, it's 20 

## pushing the condenser exhaust out to the outdoor 21 

## outside of the indoor chamber, which then creates a 22 

## negative pressure. And so what we assume is that theThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 38 1 

### outdoor air is then going to counteract that 2 

### condenser exhaust with the outdoor conditions, which 3 

### are 95 degree dry and 75.2 wet-bulb Fahrenheit. 4 

### And so for a single-duct unit, the 5 

### infiltration air is considered with the same CFM or air 6 

### flow as the condenser exhaust. For a dual-duct unit 7 

### where the condenser inlet and exhaust are both from 8 

### the outdoor space, the infiltration air would be the 9 

### difference between the air flow of the condenser 10 

### exhaust and the inlet -- and the condenser inlet flow. 11 

### So that's what we have shown here pictorially. 12 

### In the test procedure NOPR, DOE presents a 13 

### number of equations that determine the total 14 

### infiltration air and heat transfer that's based on 15 

### the latent and the sensible heat contribution of that 16 

### infiltration air. And so I won't go through these in 17 

### detail, but all the variables are defined in the test 18 

### procedure NOPR. 19 

### The bottom line is you come out with a 20 

### total infiltration air heat transfer as the last 21 

### equation. So DOE is seeking comment on the proposal 22 

### to modify the cooling capacity equation to addressThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 39 1 

## the effects of infiltration air. We are also seeking 2 

## comment on the proposed approach to estimate the 3 

## infiltration air flow rate and heat transfer. 4 

## Specifically, on the proposal to use the 5 

## outdoor test conditions from the AHAM PAC-1 as the 6 

## temperature conditions for infiltration air. 7 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Yes please, Alberto? 8 

## MR. ALOISI: At De'Longhi, we do not agree 9 

## with this proposal. We feel that DOE's current 10 

## effort to come up with an approach to infiltration 11 

## air is fatally flawed and highly damaging to 12 

## single-duct products, including giving a false 13 

## impression of the performance of these products, 14 

## which have been meeting the needs of satisfied 15 

## customers for over 25 years. 16 

## DOE's proposal for infiltration air, in 17 

## particular testing at 95/75.2 degrees F outdoor 18 

## conditions, is an unwarranted penalization for 19 

## single-duct units because they would be rated under 20 

## the worst outdoor conditions, which occurs for a 21 

## negligible period of time during the season. 22 

## This would have a dramatic negative effectThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 40 1 

## on rated capacity and efficiency of single-duct 2 

## systems. This is due to the great sensitivity of 3 

## ratings for single-duct systems to the selection of 4 

## outdoor temperature. Hence, selection of an 5 

## appropriate outdoor temperature for rating testing is 6 

## a critical factor for single-duct systems. The 7 

## proposed testing also fails to properly take into 8 

## account the effects of inside air. 9 

## According to AHRI 210/240, the recurrence 10 

## of outdoor temperatures within 95 to 104 degrees 11 

## Fahrenheit is just 2.2% of the whole season. In 12 

## contrast, the range from 65 to 80 is 66.1%. As a 13 

## consequence, DOEs proposed procedure, considering 14 

## 95/75.2 degrees F and outdoor conditions, results in 15 

## overstating, by far, infiltration air. 16 

## In addition, it has to be considered that 17 

## a certain amount of fresh air (make up air) is always 18 

## required for proper ventilation. For residential 19 

## occupancies, 1 to 2 air changes per hour are 20 

## recommended. So the effect of air ventilation should 21 

## be considered also, in general, for all air 22 

## conditioning categories or it should be discountedThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

## for portables. 2 

## If infiltration air is taken into account 3 

## for portable air conditioners, we urge adoption of 4 

## 70 degrees Fahrenheit as the outdoor temperature, 5 

## which is the value found by DOE as a single 6 

## representative average cooling season temperature for 7 

## the United States as a whole. In addition, AHRI 8 

## 210/240 also has a 50% recurrence associated with an 9 

## outdoor temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 10

### 80.6 dry and 66.2 wet-bulb for the evaporator inlet, and then 4 

### an 5 

### outdoor condition of 95/75.2 for dry and wet-bulb. For 6

### In order to make sure that we specify 3

### inlet dry-bulb, which would be consistent with the 7 

### evaporator inlet wet-bulb temperature tolerance, 8 

### which is 1 degree Fahrenheit, within a range of 1 9

### DOE notes that the condenser inlet dry12

### would be slide 34. 3 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Okay, so moving on toward 4 

### the other heat transfer effects that we discussed 5 

### earlier. The first is a duct heat transfer. DOE 6 

### determined that uninsulated ducts would significantly 7 

### contribute to heat loss to the conditioned space. 8 

### Therefore, DOE proposed in the NOPR that additional 9 

### specifications would be provided for the duct heat 10 

### transfer measurements that are already in ANSI ASHRAE 11 

### Standard 37, which is again referenced by PAC-1-2014. 12 

### They are as follows: that there be a minimum of 13 

### four equally spaced thermocouples adhered to the 14 

### side of the full length of the condenser duct, or 15 

### ducts for a dual-duct unit; the temperature 16 

### measurement accuracy be within plus or minus half a 17 

### degree; and that the convection heat transfer 18 

### coefficient be assumed as 4 BTU per hour per 19 

### degree Fahrenheit. 20 

### DOE proposed a duct surface area equation 21 

### as well as an equation to determine the duct heat 22 

### transfer. So similarly, DOE determined that there areThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 50 1 

### heating effects also from the internal components of 2 

### portable ACs and not just the evaporator fan, which is 3 

### mentioned in PAC-1-2014, and believe that they should 4 

### also be addressed. So therefore, DOE proposed 5 

### provisions for determining the case heat transfer to 6 

### the conditioned space as follows: that similar to the 7 

### duct heat transfer, that there be a minimum of 4 8 

### equally spaced thermocouples on each side of the 9 

### case and that they be adjusted if they would be 10 

### placed on an air intake or duct grille; that the 11 

### temperature measurements again be within a half a 12 

### degree Fahrenheit; and that the same convection heat 13 

### transfer coefficient used. 14 

### DOE proposed equations for the case 15 

### surface area for each side of the case as well as the 16 

### total case heat transfer in cooling mode, which is 17 

### just a summation of the heat transfer from all the 18 

### case sides. So DOE proposed that the cooling capacity, as 19 

### determined by PAC-1-2014, would be adjusted based on 20 

### infiltration air, duct and case heat transfer effects 21 

### with the equation from the slide, and the plot here 22 

### shows what happens to the AHAM or the baseline dataThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

## that we have presented earlier in the presentation 2 

## when you take into effect infiltration air, duct and 3 

## case heat transfer. 4 

## And what you see is that the modified 5 

## AHAM, the red dots, are now overlaying on the 6 

## calorimeter approach so they are much more in line, 7 

## which suggests to DOE that the modified AHAM approach 8 

## also is representative of the net cooling, or heating 9 

## in some units cases, to the conditioned space. 10 

## MR. BROOKMAN: The modified AHAM approach 11 

## that you show here, that reflects DOE's current 12 

## proposal, those modifications? 13 

## MR. SINGERMAN: Yes, with the adjusted 14

## MR. BROOKMAN: Joanna? 18

## MR. SINGERMAN: Yes.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### MS. MAUER: And is that -- I understand 2 

### that it incorporates the infiltration. Does that also 3 

### incorporate the duct and case? 4 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Yes, so the data in this 5 

### plot represents the AHAM baseline results that we had 6 

### determined that were presented in the NODA and also 7 

### earlier in the presentation, with those three 8 

### adjustments: removing the infiltration, the duct and 9 

### the case heat transfer effects. That's what is presented 10 

### in this slide. 11 

### So we are seeking comment on the proposed 12 

### approach to characterize the heat transfer from both 13 

### the condenser ducts as well as the case heat transfer 14 

### effects. Specifically for the case, that's a new 15 

### proposal, and the heat transfer based on an average, a 16 

### total of all the heat transfer from all the sides 17 

### of the case, which is based on the average surface 18 

### temperature and the evaporator inlet temperature. 19 

### DOE is also seeking comment on the 20 

### proposal to again consider the duct case and 21

## MR. BROOKMAN: Jim Crawford? 2 

## MR. CRAWFORD: I look back to the diagram 3 

## of the physical test layout again. You don't need to 4 

## go back, but the ducts or anything minimized in the 5

## Correlated to that is the question of the 11 

## 4 BTU per square foot per degree. I think it would 12

## ought to measure the total coming out of the machine 17 

## and the total at the end of the duct and then the 18

### think that that would be a different animal, and I 3 

### don't really think that you are going to have the 4

### MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, thank you. 9 

### MR. SINGERMAN: I have a few responses. 10 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Yes Nadav? 11 

### MR. SINGERMAN: The first being that that 12 

### duct set up for the condenser side -- that's based on 13 

### PAC-1-2014, which provides distances and that shape. So 14 

### that's where that set up came from. If you have a 15 

### better way or a different way that you would propose, 16 

### we would definitely welcome that in written comments. 17 

### Regarding -- just to respond to the 18 

### convection heat transfer coefficient, just to clarify 19 

### that that's referring to the outer surface of the 20 

### ducts, not the inner surface of the ducts. So we are 21 

### talking about the outer surface. 22 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Jim?The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 55 1 

### MR. CRAWFORD: I've been reading about 2 

### paratroopers, and somebody jumped out of a plane. And 3 

### would I do it? And the answer is no, and the relevance 4 

### of that is to the ducting. If the ducting layout 5 

### that is shown is not what DOE considers to be an 6 

### appropriate layout, then I would think that the 7 

### ducting layout ought to be made more appropriate, 8 

### shorter and more direct than that. 9 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Just to clarify, I wasn't 10 

### saying that duct set up that DOE doesn't believe that's 11 

### appropriate. Just that's what's in PAC-1 and DOE has 12 

### accepted that as a common duct set up, and if you have 13

### MR. BROOKMAN: That's a useful 15

### MR. ALOISI: You get -- the reason we are 17 

### against this kind of additional correction is that 18 

### modified result of the test procedure, of an existing 19

### Each appliance has a specific shape and 5

### MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, thank you. Additional 2 

### comments before we move on? Okay. 3 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Okay, so DOE also made some 4 

### proposals in the NOPR regarding condensate collection 5 

### and the test set up for units. When DOE conducted 6 

### testing, it did so with a drain line attached to 7 

### monitor the condensate collection within the unit. 8 

### However, the drain line was elevated to 9 

### simulate testing with the drain plug. DOE observed 10 

### that all the units had an auto-evaporation feature 11 

### and that no unit during testing cycled off because of 12 

### a full internal condensate collection bucket. 13 

### So therefore, DOE is proposing that a 14 

### portable AC be set up in accordance with manufacturer 15 

### instructions and specifically as follows: that if there 16 

### is an auto evaporative feature, then the drain plug 17 

### that is provided should remain in place as shipped. 18 

### If there is no auto evaporation feature or if the 19 

### internal bucket fills up during testing and the unit 20 

### cycles off, the test is invalid and should be 21 

### stopped, the drain plug removed, the condensate drain 22 

### installed and the test restarted at the beginning.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### A unit is only tested -- the unit is only 2 

### tested with an included pump activated if it's 3 

### required by the manufacturer in the set up 4 

### instructions or if there is no condensate drain line 5 

### or other way to remove condensate. DOE also made the 6 

### following proposals regarding the control settings: 7 

### first that the fans should be set to maximum, if 8 

### possible; that the temperature controls be the lowest 9 

### available on the unit; that, for a louver opening, it 10 

### should be the maximum possible area and that the 11 

### louvers should be parallel to the air flow, if they are 12 

### adjustable, and that louver oscillation should be off 13 

### or disabled if possible. 14 

### DOE believes that these settings would 15 

### represent consumer settings to achieve the primary 16 

### function of cooling as quickly as possible and to 17 

### help maintain conditions during testing. DOE also 18 

### proposed -- regarding the test unit placement, DOE noted 19 

### that ANSI/ASHRAE 37, which is referenced by PAC-1, 20 

### specifies space requirements for only the outdoor 21

## basically they are 6 feet from any inlet or exhaust 3

## DOE also made another proposal regarding 5 

## the electrical supply. PAC-1-2014 doesn't specify a 6

### MR. BROOKMAN: Let's back up to that one 6

### MS. CLEARY: The heating mode -- so the 8 

### AHAM certainly questions including this. Mainly, we are 9 

### concerned about what appears to be a serious lack of 10 

### data to support including this in the test procedure, 11

### So we agree with that, that in the absence 19

## MS. CLEARY: Yes, to not include the extra 4

## MR. BROOKMAN: Correct. 6 

## MS. CLEARY: Yes. 7 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Other thoughts in response 8 

## to this comment box, air circulation mode proposal, 9 

## slide 47? Okay. 10 

## MR. SINGERMAN: Okay, so now we are going 11 

## to move on to off-cycle mode. So in the NOPR, DOE 12 

## proposed a definition for off-cycle mode. It is a 13 

## mode in which the portable AC has cycled off the main 14 

## heating or cooling function based on a thermostat or 15 

## the temperature sensor signal. It may or may not 16 

## operate the fan or blower in this mode, and it will 17 

## reactivate the main cooling or heating function again 18 

## based on other thermostat or temperature sensors. 19 

## So to conduct a test to determine the 20 

## average power consumed during off-cycle mode is as 21 

## follows: following a cooling mode test, that the set 22

## minutes following the end of the last compressor 7

## The power consumption would then be 9

## to not penalize the utilization of cold evaporator 13

## DOE also proposed that the off-cycle mode 16

### the ambient conditions of the chamber. 2 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Yes Joanna? 3 

### MS. MAUER: Joanna Mauer. I just have a 4 

### question about how these units are operating in off5 

### cycle mode. So when the fan is running in off-cycle 6 

### mode, is it only the evaporator fan, and does that mean 7 

### that no air is being exhausted outside or is some air 8 

### being exhausted outside when the fan is running in off9 

### cycle mode? 10 

### MR. SINGERMAN: I think it might vary 11 

### depending upon manufacturer. Specifically, the fan 12 

### operates to either dry off the evaporator coils, which 13 

### are the indoor side, so that would be the primary fan 14 

### that would be operating to circulate air through the 15 

### room or to dry off the coils. But conceivably both. 16 

### MS. MAUER: This is Joanna again. So the 17 

### reason some units are exhausting the air outside off18 

### cycle mode -- that means that there is also being 19 

### infiltration in off-cycle mode, and if that's the case, 20 

### then you would think that should be incorporated also. 21 

### But I would need to better understand first. 22

## MR. BROOKMAN: Can someone address 4 

## Joanna's? Alberto? Turn the microphone on. 5 

## MR. ALOISI: Thank you. Only the internal 6 

## fan is usually working in the off-cycle mode, usually 7 

## fan power. 8 

## MS. MAUER: So that means that there's no 9 

## air being exhausted outside when that internal -- 10 

## when it's just that internal fan that is on. 11 

## MR. ALOISI: Again, we don't view the 12

## so we -- the reason why we have not used the fan is 14 

## not for infiltration, but because in this case it is 15 

## not required. 16 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Thank you. Yes Jim? 17 

## MR. CRAWFORD: I think that this off-cycle 18

## or not. 2 

## MR. SINGERMAN: I think that it would be 3 

## in that case, but also some of these units don't run 4 

## the fan continuously when the set point is reached. 5 

## They may cycle the fan, but it sounds like it's the 6 

## same. 7 

## MR. CRAWFORD: It would help wherever 8 

## possible to use the terminology of the trade 9 

## convention. 10 

## MR. SINGERMAN: I think the issue then 11 

## would be that it may be confusing because many of 12 

## these units do not run the fan in this way in this 13 

## mode. 14 

## MR. CRAWFORD: I bet the tech could figure 15 

## that out. 16 

## I think it's worth noting 17 

## that in the heating mode, we have used two digit 18 

## imperial units for temperatures, not soft conversions 19 

## from metrics, and I encourage that we do that. 20 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Okay. 21 

## MR. CRAWFORD: Now one of the reasons -- 22 

## one of the justifications possibly for that is theThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

## that are general enough, pretty broadly adopted in 3 

## the world. 4 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, we are going to move 5 

## on. 6 

## MR. SINGERMAN: So now we are going to 7 

## move on to standby and off modes and all of the 8 

## subsequent modes that fall under that. So in the 9 

## test procedure NOPR, DOE proposed the following for 10 

## standby mode as a definition, which is common with 11 

## many products that DOE covers. 12 

## DOE also proposed inactive mode, which is 13 

## a standby mode which facilitates activation of active 14 

## mode by a remote switch, internal sensor, timer, that 15 

## provides continuous status display. In the NOPR, DOE 16 

## discusses two other low power modes that are not 17 

## measured. The first is bucket full mode, which is 18 

## initiated when the condensate level in the internal 19 

## collection tank reaches some threshold that the 20 

## manufacturer has set. 21 

## During this mode, active modes are 22 

## disabled and will be reactivated when the collectionThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### delay start mode which has -- DOE found has 3 

### comparable power consumption levels to inactive mode 4 

### and is a mode that facilitates the activation of an 5 

### active mode via a timer but does not persist for an 6 

### indefinite period of time. 7 

### So regarding these low power modes, DOE 8 

### expects the power draw of all of them would be 9 

### similar for inactive, bucket full and delayed start. In order 10 

### to reduce the test period and to just simplify the 11 

### testing, DOE is proposing to measure the power 12 

### consumption for only inactive mode and not the other 13 

### two, and that the annual hours associated with the 14 

### delay start and bucket full mode, which DOE expects to 15 

### be low, would then be combined with those operating 16 

### mode hours. 17 

### Just note in DOE's test sample, all of 18 

### the units had electronic controls and defaulted to 19 

### inactive mode when they were connected to the power 20 

### source. However, DOE is aware that some units may be 21 

### capable of entering off mode, and those are likely units 22 

### with electromechanical controls.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 72 1 

## So for those units that would enter off 2 

## mode, DOE has proposed the following definition for 3 

## off mode, which is consistent with many other 4 

## products. For standby and off mode, to determine the 5 

## power consumption, DOE proposed in the NOPR that 6 

## inactive mode and off mode for portable ACs be 7 

## tested according to the IEC Standard 62301, which is 8 

## in accordance with the requirements of the Energy 9 

## Independence and Security Act of 2007. 10 

## DOE also included some clarifications for 11 

## this proposal: that the testing may be conducted at 12 

## the cooling mode or heating mode test conditions, as 13 

## they meet the IEC Standard 62301 conditions and 14 

## tolerances; that the electrical supply voltage would 15 

## be maintained at 115 volts plus or minus 1 percent, 16 

## similar to a cooling mode; and the same for the 17 

## frequency. 18 

## Also, the inactive mode and off mode 19

### MR. SINGERMAN: So up until now I've been 11

### and the average power in each mode. Now we are going 13

### So the combined energy efficiency ratio, or 17 

### the CEER, combines energy use for active mode, standby 18 

### mode, off-cycle mode and off mode into one single 19 

### efficiency metric. First, the cooling and heating 20 

### capacities as we have discussed previously are measured 21 

### and the total annual energy consumption is then 22

## average that is based on the annual operating hours 2 

## in each mode and the average power associated 3 

## with each of those modes. 4 

## However, in order to proceed with the 5 

## calculation, it is necessary to identify the cooling 6 

## and heating season lengths and then determine the 7 

## annual mode, specific mode operating hours in each of 8 

## the seasons as well as the rest of the year. So to 9 

## move forward, first DOE investigated cooling and 10 

## heating season lengths. 11 

## For the cooling season length, DOE proposed 12 

## the same number of hours as in the room AC rule being 13 

## proposed for the portable AC rule, which was 2,160 14 

## hours. For the heating season length, DOE produced 15 

## three estimates. The first was based on the furnace 16 

## fan rulemaking, which was 4,160 hours. Then DOE came 17 

## up with two more estimates. The first looked at a 18 

## 2012 national climate analysis of all hours at less 19 

## than 55 degrees. 20 

## DOE identified 55 degrees as the threshold 21 

## based on the New York City building heating season 22 

## length. DOE then looked at a third estimate, whichThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 77 1 

## looked at hours less than 45 degrees. We adjusted the 2 

## climate analysis and came up with 2,903 hours. 3 

## DOE reduced the specific temperatures 4 

## because it believes that correlates to each season, as 5 

## portable ACs are primarily used as supplemental 6 

## heaters with lower temperatures. And just to briefly 7 

## go over the analysis that DOE produced -- went through 8 

## to first determine the number of hours for each state 9 

## associated with each temperature, so within each 10 

## temperature bin, a number of hours for each state. 11 

## Then DOE identified portable AC ownership 12 

## based on the room AC data that's in RECS to determine 13 

## the ownership in regions, sub-regions and specific 14 

## states, and then used the weighted-average approach to 15 

## combine the number of hours at or below the certain 16 

## temperature threshold to determine the sub-region or 17 

## regional and then the national hours at less than 18 

## those temperatures. So that's where we came up with 19 

## estimates two and three. 20 

## So for the annual mode operating hours, 21 

## that was the season lengths for the operation hours 22 

## themselves. DOE based the cooling season modeThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### operating hours on the room AC rulemaking. For the 2 

### portable ACs, off-cycle mode would include fan only 3 

### mode hours due to the room AC rulemaking, and 4 

### portable ACs inactive and off mode hours would 5 

### include delay start and bucket full mode hours from 6 

### the room AC rulemaking we had discussed previously. 7 

### DOE assumed that the percentage of operating 8 

### time for each mode within heating season would be the 9 

### same as that for cooling season. Outside of cooling 10 

### and heating season, DOE assumed that three-quarters of 11 

### portable ACs are unplugged completely, and that a 12 

### quarter of them are unplugged half the time. This 13 

### was based on the fact that they are portable units 14 

### and easily moveable from room to room and removed 15 

### from the window, and therefore would primarily be 16 

### unplugged outside of the cooling and heating season. 17 

### DOE associated all plugged-in hours 18 

### outside of the cooling and heating season as inactive 19 

### hours. So based on those assumptions, DOE provides 20 

### the operating mode hours based on the cooling-only 21 

### room AC estimates, so that's the second column for 22

## estimates for the cooling mode operating hours based 2 

## on the heating season length estimates that we 3 

## presented previously. 4 

## For units with heating capability, DOE 5 

## proposed in the test procedure NOPR that the cooling/ 6 

## heating estimate three be used, and DOE expects that 7 

## portable ACs are used as supplementary heating 8 

## during periods of cool outdoor temperatures at less 9 

## than 45 degrees Fahrenheit. So that's why the 10 

## estimate number three was proposed. 11 

## DOE also presented alternate cooling 12 

## season scenarios in the NOPR. This is based on a 13 

## recent study that developed a model to estimate the 14 

## amount of time spent or the percent of time spent in 15 

## cooling, fan only, and standby modes as a function of 16 

## the outdoor temperature. After analyzing this report, 17 

## DOE expects that the modes in the study align with 18 

## cooling mode, off-cycle mode, and inactive/off mode as 19 

## previously defined. 20 

## The study identified two applications of 21 

## portable ACs. The first was residential use where the 22 

## consumer has daily interaction with the product, andThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 80 1 

## then consumer use where there is minimal consumer 2 

## interaction. DOE then, to determine the number of 3 

## hours and percent of time spent in the modes, had to 4 

## come up with representative outdoor temperature. So 5 

## DOE determined an average outdoor temperature for 6 

## each state based on the national climate data from 7 

## June through September as representative of the 8 

## cooling season, and then used a weighted-average 9 

## approach similar to before based on the RECS data. 10 

## And DOE ended up determining that a representative 11 

## average cooling season outdoor temperature was about 12 

## 70 degrees Fahrenheit. 13 

## So using this metering study, DOE 14 

## calculated the percent of time spent in each mode in 15 

## the cooling season and then -- which is represented 16 

## in the second and third column, and then also 17 

## determined a third scenario which was an average of 18 

## the residential and the consumer use scenarios. And so 19 

## the result is that for a cooling mode -- a cooling 20

## MS. CLEARY: I'm Jennifer Cleary with 11 

## AHAM. AHAM is dismayed, I guess, at the serious lack 12 

## of data underlying this proposal. You know, the 13 

## amount of time just on these slides, and even more 14 

## numerous in the proposed rule, that DOE talks about 15 

## assumptions in estimates is alarming. I think these 16 

## annual mode operating hour assignments have really 17 

## led to what the outcome is going to be in the final 18 

## outcome -- in a sense randomly assigning hours is 19 

## not appropriate. So DOE is assuming percentage of 20 

## operating time, they are assuming the usage outside 21 

## of cooling and heating season, and there is not much 22 

## basis for these assumptions.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### So either they are -- you are comparing to 2 

### other products that may or may not have similar usage 3 

### patterns to this product, using data from previous 4 

### rulemakings that may not carry over here. There's 5 

### really no description as to even why those products 6 

### should be looked at in terms of if they have had similar 7 

### usage to portable air conditioners, and we would argue 8 

### that in fact, many of them do not. 9 

### So I would think DOE needs to do a much 10 

### better job on using that consumer use data for this 11 

### product that we are going to determine what the 12 

### operating hours should be. In particular, looking at 13 

### the heating mode, you know, I commented on that earlier 14 

### that there needs to be more data on the issues raised 15 

### here. DOE seems to be assuming that consumers will 16 

### use portable air conditioners in heating modes when 17 

### it is the very coldest out, and we disagree with that. 18 

### AHAM believes that actually these products 19 

### would be used more often by consumers when it is not 20 

### as cold out, for example when you are not quite ready 21

## written comments on all of this but the bottom line 2 

## is there needs to be some real data underlying this, 3 

## not just we don't have data, therefore we assume x, y 4

## MR. BROOKMAN: Jennifer, do you know of any 6 

## additional data, any sources for -- do you have the 7 

## capacity at AHAM to gather some? 8 

## MS. CLEARY: I don't know if we currently 9 

## have consumer usage data for this product, but we will 10 

## certainly look into what we have. We are willing to 11 

## work with the Department and are supportive of this 12 

## overall effort, so we can certainly see what we can 13

## that they have this type of information, to share it. 15 

## So we are working on seeing what we have. So we are 16

## important thing to point out there is, even if we 19 

## don't have it and can't provide it, or companies don't 20

## MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, thank you. You see 5 

## the comment request there on operating hours. 6 

## Additional thoughts, comments here? 7 

## MR. WUESTHOFF: Yes, this is Ed Wuesthoff. 8 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Yes, Ed. Please go ahead. 9 

## MR. WUESTHOFF: I wanted to also state 10 

## that Friedrich is an air conditioner manufacturer, and 11 

## the portable air conditioners that we also sell, we 12 

## rate our energy consumption based on 750 hours, 13 

## currently the same we have to use in room air 14 

## conditioners, and the ones we sell, they are all below 15 

## 100 kilowatt-hours per year based on that way of 16 

## calculating annual energy consumption. 17 

## So we would favor using the same energy 18 

## usage hours for cooling mode as a room air 19 

## conditioner, which is 750 hours. And I also wanted to 20

### MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, thanks Ed. 3 

### MR. WUESTHOFF: You are welcome. 4 

### MR. BROOKMAN: We are about to move on. 5 

### Final comments? Okay. 6 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Okay. DOE proposed the 7 

### calculation for energy efficiency ratio in the NOPR. 8 

### This is performed using the adjusted cooling and 9 

### heating capacity that we discussed previously, as well 10 

### as the average power in both cooling and heating mode 11 

### as seen on the slide. And just to note that, due to 12 

### variations in the operating mode hour estimates, the 13 

### preliminary analysis for the concurrent energy 14 

### conservation standards rulemaking, which will be discussed 15 

### later, 16 

### used the cooling mode EER as a basis for efficiency 17 

### levels. 18 

### DOE also proposed equations and 19 

### calculations to determine the annual energy 20 

### consumption for each of the modes that we have 21 

### discussed, using the mode annual hours as well as 22 

### the average power in that mode. DOE proposed aThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### mode to determine the annual energy consumption of 3 

### those modes, and then used these equations to 4 

### calculate the annual operating costs that is proposed 5 

### in 10 CFR 430.23. So let's move on to the combined 6 

### energy efficiency ratio. 7 

### DOE proposed a cooling-only CEER, and when 8 

### calculating this, the operating hours used are 9 

### the cooling only that were in that first table with 10 

### the mode operating hours. DOE also proposed an 11 

### overall combined energy efficiency ratio for units 12 

### with both cooling and heating, and just to note that 13 

### for units with no heating mode, that this overall CEER 14 

### would simplify to the cooling-only CEER above, and that 15 

### for units with heating mode, where this full CEER is 16 

### used, DOE is proposing that the estimate three be 17 

### used to calculate the CEER. 18 

### So DOE seeks comment on the proposed 19 

### equations to calculate the cooling mode CEER as well 20 

### as the overall CEER and incorporate performance for 21 

### both cooling and heating modes in addition to all the 22 

### other low power modes.The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### MR. BROOKMAN: Thoughts here? Nothing at 2 

### this time, okay. 3 

### MR. SINGERMAN: Okay, so a few last things 4 

### with the sampling plan and rounding requirements from 5 

### the NOPR. The first is that DOE proposed, as they do 6 

### for other similar products, that the rounding -- that 7 

### the sampling plan requirements for an efficiency 8 

### method would be applicable, as well as rounding 9 

### requirements for the cooling and heating capacity. And 10 

### values of the EER and the CEER would be the mean of 11 

### all measured values in each tested unit of the basic 12 

### model, and that all the capacities would be rounded to 13 

### the nearest 50, 100, 200 or 500 BTU per hour, according 14 

### to Table 1 in PAC-1-2014, and that the EER and the 15 

### CEER would be rounded to the nearest 0.1 kilowatt16 

### hours. 17 

### DOE also in the NOPR noted that it 18 

### identified one small business manufacturer with 19 

### manufacturing facilities in the United States. DOE 20 

### notes that it selected PAC-1-2014's approach to help 21 

### minimize active mode test 22 

### burden. Manufacturers commonly report the coolingThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 88 1 

### capacity and the EER according to ANSI/ASHRAE 2 

### Standard 128, and PAC-1-2014 is an industry-accepted 3 

### standard that utilizes similar test equipment and the 4 

### same basic methodology as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 128. 5 

### Regarding off-cycle standby and off mode 6 

### test procedure impacts, IEC Standard 62301 may be 7 

### conducted in the same test chamber as either cooling 8 

### or heating mode, and so there is minimal additional 9 

### testing costs in terms of moving the unit. And DOE 10 

### identified the wattmeter that would satisfy the requirements 11 

### for these tests would be approximately $2,000. So 12 

### based on this, DOE concluded that the proposed rule 13 

### would not have significant economic impacts on small 14 

### entities. 15 

### So DOE seeks comment on the testing burden 16 

### and tentative conclusion that both test 17 

### procedures would not be burdensome to conduct. 18 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Comments on test burden? Yes, Jim 19 

### Crawford. 20 

### MR. CRAWFORD: You indicated that there 21

## MR. BROOKMAN: Ashley Armstrong? 3

## exempt to, since there are not rules in place yet. 6 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, yes. Jennifer Cleary? 7 

## MS. CLEARY: Jennifer Cleary. I think we 8 

## will have comments on this in our written comments, 9 

## but I think we question whether this is -- and some 10 

## of the changes that are being proposed to PAC-1. I'm 11 

## not sure yet and thinking about it, and certainly will 12 

## provide feedback and written comments. 13 

## MR. BROOKMAN: Thanks. And now as we had 14

## One of the first things we discussed at the very 2 

## beginning of the webinar, actually, when we were 3 

## having problems with the webinar, which could be why 4 

## you may not have had an opportunity to see it, was the 5 

## definition of portable air conditioner and the scope 6 

## of applicability of the test procedure. 7 

## So as DOE believes that the portable air 8 

## conditioners are all encompassing to those products, 9 

## that we have needed DOE to clarify that, you know, the 10 

## test procedures being addressed today did not 11 

## specifically -- do not apply to spot coolers as we 12 

## define them in the proposed rule. So there were some 13 

## comments earlier about perhaps the definition being 14 

## too narrow and DOE should consider modifications for 15 

## that definition, especially those that may come during 16 

## written comments. Obviously, if you have specific 17 

## comments about what should and shouldn't be included 18 

## in that definition or what should or shouldn't be put 19 

## in terms of scope of the test procedures we are 20 

## talking about this morning, we welcome that. 21 

## MR. SWATKOWSKI: We had sent comments in a 22 

## couple of weeks ago specific to that, and I assume weThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 93 1 

### are not going to drop the definition of commercial or 2 

### portable air conditioner today. 3 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: I think if you have a 4 

### position on whether the test procedure should apply 5 

### and whether standards should apply to what you are 6 

### calling commercial portable air conditioners, you 7 

### should present that on the record so that we have it. 8 

### DOE did receive some feedback regarding commercial 9 

### -- obviously, I think it would be helpful though for 10 

### you to present your position to the group because 11 

### then other people than DOE, then everyone can hear 12 

### it. 13 

### MR. SWATKOWSKI: Okay, well we have already 14 

### provided comment about how the kind of -- being a small 15 

### company with 10 or 15 people, there's only three 16 

### manufacturers here in the U.S. that this would have a 17 

### severe economic impact on, and I'm kind of wondering 18 

### if that has been taken into account when you thought 19 

### about small business and then, because it's not 20 

### negligible, but I think it would be devastating to us. 21 

### While we were looking more towards having 22 

### exclusion for commercial because it's such a smallThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

### part of the portable air conditioning market, that we 2 

### didn't provide those comments as well, but we can in 3 

### our written remarks. 4 

### MR. CYMBALSKY: This is John from DOE. 5 

### Thank you for that. Slide 16 actually comes in a 6 

### statement from the slide. You can see it now on your 7 

### screen. All of those coolers would meet the proposed 8 

### definition of portable ACs. DOE is not considering 9 

### the test procedure for spot coolers at this time, so 10 

### therefore -- I'm sorry, can I finish please? Therefore, 11 

### the small business owners quoted do not reflect this 12 

### point that we made here on the slide. 13 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Please keep going. 14 

### MR. SWATKOWSKI: I just wondered, did that 15 

### spot cooler definition include the commercial 16 

### portable air conditioners? 17 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: This is Ashley from DOE. 18 

### I think you need to refer to the actual definition in 19 

### the proposed rule, and if you do not feel that it 20 

### encompasses what you are calling commercial you 21 

### should comment on that. I mean, generally speaking, I 22 

### don't know exactly what you are calling commercial,The Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

202-347-3700 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 866-928-6509 Page 95 1 

### but generally speaking, DOE believes that that was the 2 

### intent. 3 

### MR. SWATKOWSKI: Okay. 4 

### MR. BROOKMAN: Okay, thanks Len. That is -- 5 

### we are drawing to the conclusion of the test 6 

### procedure portion of this meeting. Final comments 7 

### and any additional comments before we close out? Jim 8 

### Crawford. 9 

### MR. CRAWFORD: I want to come back on that 10 

### same chart I guess. What -- as Ashley points out, there 11 

### is no distinction between residential and commercial 12 

### in the wording of that paragraph that she said a 13 

### moment ago. The wording throughout, residential, 14 

### residential and consumer, and the author didn't seem 15 

### to have commercial in mind. And if I can take you back 16 

### to the chart on 16, are we to interpret that the 17 

### scope of today's discussion, morning and afternoon, is 18 

### limited to the capacity range of 5,000 to 14,000 19 

### BTU's per hour? 20 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: I think you should think 21 

### about the scope. This is Ashley with DOE. So 22 

### starting with the definition on top, you should thinkThe Portable Air Conditioners Test Procedure Meeting March 18, 2015

## that would meet that definition with the exception of 3 

## we have said that this test procedure as proposed 4 

## today is not applicable to spot coolers. So that 5 

## leaves single-duct and dual-duct. And can you go to 6 

## the next slide. 7 

## So this is what we believe the general 8 

## characteristics are. So if we got it wrong, please 9 

## provide feedback on it if those characteristics are 10 

## applicable or are all encompassing. 11 

## MR. CRAWFORD: No one is suggesting you 12 

## got it wrong. The question had to do with whether or 13 

## not we should assume that the scope is limited to 14 

## 5,000 to 14,000 BTU's per hour. 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So there's not a specific 16 

## implementation of scope with regard to capacity in 17 

## the definition of what is defining the covered 18 

## products. 19 

## MR. CRAWFORD: If you don't have a test 20

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Thanks. So I am going to 11

## what proposals are going to be based on these 15 

## definitions -- so what I am trying to tell you is 16 

## that these definitions don't actually have all of 17

## characteristics shown on slide 16 that would 8 

## otherwise meet these definitions, they would be in. 9 

## MR. BERRINGER: This is Bryan. You had 10 

## mentioned, and all I heard earlier was in the 11 

## definition, you were talking about three phase versus 12
