The Energy Policy and Conservation Act directs DOE to take into

consideration seven factors when setting energy conservation standards

Analysis

1. Economic impact on consumers Life-cycle cost analysis

and manufacturers Manufacturer impact analysis

2. Lifetime operating cost savings Life-cycle cost analysis

3. Total projected energy savings National impact analysis

4. Impact on utility or performance Engineering analysis

Screening analysis

5. Impact of any lessening of Manufacturer impact analysis

competition

6. Need for national energy National impact analysis

7. Other factors the Secretary Environmental assessment

considers relevant Utility impact analysis
