P ref ac e

The Department of Energy, Division of Operational and

Environmental Safety (DoE/OES) task directive was to

provide an index of energy conservation- rel ated standards

from which any standards concerned with environmental,

health and safety aspects could be recognized. The

state inquiry was conducted to obtain information on

standards for all energy conservation product-related

me asures

.

This document furnishes the state energy conservation

standards information relating to consumer products. In

addition to the conclusions evidenced by this document,

a bibliographic key-word- i n-con text (KWIC) listing,

"KWIC Index of Standards for Energy Conservation of

Selected Product-Related Measures" (draft copy), was

provided to DoE/OES. The KWIC index contained existing

engineering standards and regulations issued by the U . S

.

private sector, the Federal Government, and foreign

organizations. These two documents were in response to

one section of the Interagency Agreement.
ABSTRACT

States are responding to Federal requirements to develop

procedures for public energy conservation measures and plans

affecting the states. This document furnishes evidence of, or absence of, state legislation, regulations, voluntary

standards, plans, and programs for energy conservation of

consumer products. It also identifies the states that are

participating in the pilot program Energy Extension Service

(EES). The survey was based on seven questions asked of each

state. This document contains the state responses to the

inquiry and a bibliography of the materials submitted in

response to the survey.
I ntroduc t i on

The Energy Conservation and Production Act of 1976 (ECPA), PL

94-385, instructed the state energy agencies to develop

procedures for public energy conservation measures and energy

conservation plans. National energy policy and conservation

plans were identified by that Act, its predecessor (PL 94-163),

the subsequent Act (PL 95-619), and the Federal Register.

The purpose of this document is to identify any state energy

conservation legislation, regulations, voluntary standards,

plans, and programs issued for the conservation of energy used

by consumer products. The consumer products specifically

identified in PL 94-163, Section 322 are: "(1) Refrigerators

and refrigerator-freezers (2) Freezers (3) Dish washers (4)

Clothes dryers (5) Water heaters (6) Room air conditioners (7)

Home heating equipment, not including furnaces (8) Television

sets (9) Kitchen ranges and ovens (10) Clothes washers (11)

Humidifiers and dehumidifiers (12) Central air conditioners

(13) Furnaces (14) Any other type of consumer product which the

Administrator classifies as a covered product under subsection

(b)."

This document furnishes evidence of, or lack of, state energy

standards and plans for consumer products and education. It

also serves to identify state participation in the pilot Energy

Extension Service. EES is a program supported by a grant from

the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).

Specifically, the inquiry was based on the following questions:

1. a. Has the state passed enabling legislation regarding

energy conservation standards for consumer products?

b. Have state regulatory standards been written as a result of any legislation? What are they?

c. Which state agency has the regulatory authority?

d. Which state agency is responsible for enforcing the

regulations? What is the enforcement procedure, if

any?

2. Is the state planning to pass enabling legislation or is

the state waiting for the Federal standards to be

issued?
3. Does the state have, or is it developing, any voluntary

energy conservation and efficiency type standards for

consumer products?

4. Does the state energy plan include public awareness

programs regarding energy conservation and efficiency

standards for consumer products?

Each state was asked to send any available literature in

response to questions 1. (b) and (d), and 4.

In addition to state responses, this document provides a state

contact for consumer 1 eg is 1 at i ve-type inquiries. It also

provides a bibliography of the states' existing legislation and

the publications resulting from plans and programs for the

conservation of energy used by consumer products. The

bibliography consists only of those state materials submitted

to the National Bureau of Standards, Office of Standards

Information, Analysis, and Development, as a result of the

inquiry. A few state officials mentioned that additional state

plans may be found on file at DoE.

Excluded from this document are questions on energy conservation

that fall in the s ub jec t- are as of solar energy and all other

renewable energy sources; housing and building including the

building codes; state procurement policies and standards;

automobiles; and decorative lighting. Information in the

subject-area of housing and buildings is covered by a three-parts- i n-one document, "States' Energy Conservation

Standards for New Housing and Buildings: (1) Status of

Regulatory Activities; (2) Development, Administration and

Enforcement Processes; and (3) State Legislative Analysis,"

issued by the National Institute of Building Sciences,

Washington, D.C., 1978.

The survey identified nine states -- California, Hawaii, Iowa,

Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and

Wisconsin -- as having legislation on energy conservation

relating to consumer products. Nevada has not issued any

regulations to date although it passed enabling legislation

authorizing the State's Department of Energy to promulgate

regulations prohibiting the sale of appliances with standing

pilot lights.

The state responses are in the same sequential order as the

inquiry questions.

NEW JERSEY

o New Jersey has passed enabling legislation

(N.J.S.A. 52:27F-15) that directs the New Jersey

Department of Energy to "coordinate authority,

regulation, and planning by the state in energy

related matters."

o The state regulation pertaining to energy conservation

standards for consumer products that was written as a result of this legislation is the "Retrofitting of Gas

Pilot Lights," N.J.A.C. 14A:3-6. 1-5.

o The New Jersey Department of Energy has both regulatory

and enforcement authority; however, the proposals that

were submitted by the state utility companies in

regard to this regulation were rejected and have not as of this date been resubmitted. Therefore, the

regulation is not in effect,

o No voluntary energy conservation standards for other

consumer products

o P 1 ans and Programs

- The cornerstone of the New Jersey Energy Master Plan

is informing consumers of the "relative

operating-cost-saving merits of each appliance," not

policing individual consumption habits. The

monitoring of manufacturers is therefore essential

to New Jersey's conservation plan.

- The New Jersey Department of Energy's Energy Exchange

publications include articles regarding the energy

efficiency ratios of various appliances. What to Do:

New Jersey Home Energy Savings Workbook #1 is another

publication prepared by the New Jersey Department of

Energy.

NEW YORK

o Enabling legislation known as the New York Energy Law

(Consolidated Laws of New York, Laws 1976, Chapter

819, Section 2) created the New York State Energy

Office and gave that agency the authority to issue the

following regulations: Energy Efficiency Standards for

Air Conditioners, Article 9-109 and Energy Efficiency

Standards for Water Heaters, Article 16-108

o The New York State Energy Office has both regulatory

and enforcement authority. Since the above energy

conservation standards are primarily self -regul atory,

enforcement is carried out by sending a letter from

the New York State Energy Office to the appropriate

company or manufacturer.

o No voluntary energy conservation standards for other

consumer products

o Plans and Programs

- Through public service announcements concerning new

regulations, consumers are alerted to the

coefficient of performance standards and the energy

efficient ratios.

- An energy hotline is maintained and state and

federal publications that include home energy s avi ng

tips are available to the public.

- A hand-held fan with the energy efficent ratios of

various appliances printed on it was developed by

the New York State Energy Office and is distributed

throughout the state.
