Summary

• High Priority

- Distribution Transformers

- Small Electric Motor Determination

- 3 ^ Central AC/HP 13 5-240 kBtu (to increase standard from ASHRAE 90. 1 -

1999 level)

- Packaged Terminal AC & HP

- Completion of Residential CAC, Water Heaters, Gas Cooking Products,

Commercial (ASHRAE) Products

• Medium Priority

- 3^ Central Single Package and Split Central AC & HP5 <65 kBtu. Same as

residential CAC except 3^ motor. Support ASHRAE addendum to increase

standard to new residential level when that is final. This will require LCC,

NES, Emissions, and NPV analysis to support increase of standard through

ASHRAE 90.1 addendum.

- Residential Furnaces and Boilers

- Gas-Fired Boilers

Test Procedures

• High Priority

- Completion of Commercial A/C & Heat Pumps, Boilers, Furnaces,

& Water Heaters

- Completion Of Dishwashers

- Completion of Residential Central A/C & HP

• Medium Priority

- Commercial Water Source Heat Pumps (ARI has replaced its test

procedure with an ISO (metric) procedure, we must understand

differences in the two test procedures

- Compact Refrigerators (Current test procedure is not sufficiently

accurate nor repeatable, NIST is evaluating)

- Ductless Split Central A/C & HP (Current & proposed test

procedure would be improved by allowing calorimeter test (used

for room a/c).

ergy Savings - Delay from Standar

• 3^ Central AC, 65-135 kBtu

- ASHRAE 90.1-1999 (10.3 EER) will save 1.2

quads, and is at minimum LCC point per

ASHRAE costs

- S. Nadel showed evidence for lower costs

which would justify 11.0 EER

- Break-even point for 11.0 EER is 2024

- Recommend adoption of ASHRAE standard
