SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 10 CFR Part 430,

§ 430.27(l), notice is hereby given of the

issuance of the Decision and Order as

set out below. In the Decision and

Order, NORDYNE has been granted a

Waiver from the existing Department of

Energy central air conditioner and

central air conditioning heat pump test

procedure for the company’s

Powermiser line of heat pumps with

integrated water heating. The Waiver

allows NORDYNE to use a modified test

procedure for rating its Powermiser heat

pumps. NORDYNE shall be allowed to

calculate, in addition to the standard

SEER and HSPF, a Combined Cooling

Decision and Order

Department of Energy

Office of Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy

In the Matter of: NORDYNE. (Case No. CAC–

007)

Background

The Energy Conservation Program for

Consumer Products (other than

automobiles) was established pursuant

to the Energy Policy and Conservation

Act (EPCA), Public Law 94–163, 89 Stat.

917, as amended, which requires the

Department to prescribe standardized

test procedures to measure the energy

consumption of certain consumer

products, including central air

conditioners. The intent of the test

procedures is to provide a comparable

measure of energy consumption that

will assist consumers in making

purchasing decisions. These test

procedures appear at 10 CFR Part 430,

Subpart B.

The Department amended the

prescribed test procedures by adding 10

CFR 430.27 to create a waiver process.

45 FR 64108, September 26, 1980.

Thereafter, the Department further

amended its appliance test procedure

waiver process to allow the Assistant

Secretary for Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy (Assistant Secretary)

to grant an Interim Waiver from test

procedure requirements to

manufacturers that have petitioned the

Department for a waiver of such

prescribed test procedures. 51 FR 42823,

November 26, 1986.

The waiver process allows the

Assistant Secretary to waive temporarily

test procedures for a particular basic

model when a petitioner shows that the

basic model contains one or more

design characteristics which prevent

testing according to the prescribed test

procedures, or when the prescribed test

procedures may evaluate the basic

model in a manner so unrepresentative

of its true energy consumption as to

provide materially inaccurate

comparative data. Waivers generally

remain in effect until final test

procedure amendments become

effective, resolving the problem that is

the subject of the waiver.

NORDYNE filed a ‘‘Petition for

Waiver’’ and an ‘‘Application for

Interim Waiver,’’ dated January 24,

1995, in accordance with Section 430.27

of 10 CFR Part 430. The Department

granted the Interim Waiver on July 10,

1995. The Department also published in

the Federal Register on August 8, 1995,

NORDYNE’s petition, and solicited

comments, data, and information

respecting the petition. 60 FR 40358,

August 8, 1995.

NORDYNE’s Petition seeks a waiver

from the existing Department of Energy

central air conditioner and central air

conditioning heat pump test procedure

for the company’s Powermiser line of

heat pumps because the Powermiser’s

integrated water heating feature causes

the prescribed test procedures to

evaluate the Powermiser in a manner

unrepresentative of its true energy

consumption characteristics.

NORDYNE’s heating and cooling mode

test procedures are essentially the same

as the current Departmental central air

conditioner test procedures. In addition,

NORDYNE submitted tests and a rating

procedure to determine the performance

of the heat pump when it heats

domestic water (whether or not space

heating or cooling is also being

provided).

The Department received 14 written

comments concerning either the

‘‘Petition for Waiver’’ or the ‘‘Interim

Waiver.’’ All the comments supported

granting the waivers.

Appalachian Power Company,

Hawaiian Electric Company and Mr. Joe

Zeiner of PSI Energy supported the

waiver to encourage energy

conservation devices. The Tennessee

Valley Authority concurred with this,

and also commented that the

Powermiser ‘‘eliminates coincident peak

demand for water heater[s] on the utility

system.’’ Gulf Power Company, Tampa

Electric Company, Alabama Power

Company, Georgia Power Company and

Mr. Leo Stambaugh commended the

NORDYNE integrated appliance as a

viable alternative to electric resistance

water heating and supported

NORDYNE’s proposed use of a

Combined Cooling Performance Factor

(CCPF) and Combined Heating

Performance Factor (CHPF) for rating

these products.

Dr. Arvo Lannus of Moebius Research

commented that the present Department

test procedures do not provide for

testing products like the Powermiser,

with the following adverse effects:

CAS-RM-79-102 COMMENT 19
11396 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 55 / Wednesday, March 20, 1996 / Notices

difficulty in educating consumers about

the product’s benefits; difficulty for the

manufacturer to recoup its investment;

difficulty for private research

institutions to fund research and

development in support of energy

efficiency goals. Dr. Lannus stated that

the Powermiser would benefit

consumers and society, in terms of

efficiency and environmental benefits.

He wrote that the testing and rating

procedure, using SEER, HSPF, CCPF

and CHPF is reasonable, and also agreed

with the proposed bin method of

calculation.

Mr. Terry Statt of the Electric Power

Research Institute stated that the current

DOE test procedure evaluates the

Powermiser heat pump in a manner

unrepresentative of its actual energy

consumption, and that this creates

economic hardship for NORDYNE. He

further commented that this causes

consumers to purchase systems that

have higher [total monetary] costs and

higher environmental costs. Mr. Statt

agreed with NORDYNE’s use of a bin

method of calculation and the division

of the year into two sections (heating

and cooling).

The Natural Resources Defense

Council supported the concept of the

heat pump with integrated water

heating as an energy savings device and

urged the Department to provide test

procedures that accurately estimate the

device’s energy savings. Virginia Power

concurred with this and also

commented on the need for a standard

test procedure for combined equipment,

including fossil-fueled combination

heating/water heating units, heat pumps

and air conditioners with integral

desuperheaters, combined residential

energy storage units and triple function

heat pumps such as the NORDYNE

Powermiser. Virginia Power also

commented that the standard test

procedure should use water heating

settings and use patterns which reflect

current consumer use (see Virginia

Power Comments on Proposed

Rulemaking, Energy Conservation

Program for Consumer Products, Test

Procedures for Water Heaters, Docket

No. EE–RM–94–230, August 30, 1995.)

Allegheny Power System commented

about the need for a suitable test

procedure for integrated water heating

systems, and, like Virginia Power,

requested that the Department revise the

domestic water heater test procedure to

reflect a lower daily hot water

consumption, and a different schedule

for water draws.

The comments of Virginia Power and

Allegheny Power about water usage,

draw schedules and integrated

appliances are beyond the scope of this

waiver. The Department may address

these issues in upcoming test procedure

rules, but, for consistency, this waiver

will conform to the existing usage and

draws.

The Department consulted with the

Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

concerning the NORDYNE Petition. The

FTC did not have any objections to the

issuance of the waiver to NORDYNE.

Assertions and Determinations

NORDYNE’s Petition seeks a waiver

from the existing Department of Energy

central air conditioner and central air

conditioning heat pump test procedure

for the company’s Powermiser line of

heat pumps because the Powermiser’s

integrated water heating feature causes

the prescribed test procedures to

evaluate the Powermiser in a manner

unrepresentative of its true energy

consumption characteristics. DOE

agrees that, using the current central air

conditioning test procedure, the

company cannot account for the energy

savings associated with integrated water

heating.

NORDYNE has submitted a modified

test procedure to be used for rating its

Powermiser heat pumps. NORDYNE

proposes to calculate, in addition to

SEER and HSPF, a Combined Cooling

Performance Factor (CCPF) and a

Combined Heating Performance Factor

(CHPF) for characterizing the water

heating and space conditioning

performance of the Powermiser.

However, to provide a comparable base,

NORDYNE had to slightly modify the

calculation of SEER and HSPF. The

NORDYNE proposed heating and

cooling mode test procedures for SEER

and HSPF are essentially the same as

the current Departmental central air

conditioner test procedures found in 10

CFR Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix M.

NORDYNE’s test procedures differ from

the Department’s in their use of a bin

analysis for SEER, and in their use of

seasonal hours rather than fractional

hours for HSPF. NORDYNE states in its

Petition that the modified test procedure

for SEER and HSPF ‘‘yields nearly

identical results.’’ The Department

concurs with NORDYNE’s statement

regarding the results for SEER and

HSPF, and no commenter

communicated any disagreement with

it.

In addition, NORDYNE submitted

tests and a rating procedure to

determine the performance of the heat

pump when it heats domestic water

(whether or not space heating or cooling

is also being provided). These

performance factors reflect the energy

efficiency of the heat pump when

providing both space conditioning and

domestic water heating. CCPF is the

sum of the total space cooling load and

the total domestic water heating load

during the cooling season, divided by

the total energy consumption used for

space cooling and water heating over

the same period, expressed in Btu/Wh.

CHPF is the analogous factor with

‘‘space heating’’ substituted for ‘‘space

cooling.’’ NORDYNE presented

examples of cost savings calculations in

its Petition for Waiver. In the Petition,

NORDYNE compared the annual cost

for heating, cooling and water heating of

the NORDYNE Powermiser to a

combination of a conventional heat

pump and an electric water heater.

DOE agrees that, using the current

central air conditioning test procedure,

the company cannot account for the

energy savings associated with

integrated water heating, and that the

procedures described in NORDYNE’s

Petition for Waiver will allow

NORDYNE to calculate these energy

savings. The Department agrees that a

waiver should be granted to allow

NORDYNE to test its Powermiser line of

heat pumps according to NORDYNE’s

proposed test procedure.

Thus, the Department is granting a

waiver of the requirement to test

NORDYNE’s Powermiser line of heat

pumps according to the current test

procedure.

It is, therefore, ordered that:

(1) The ‘‘Petition for Waiver’’ filed by

NORDYNE (Case No. CAC–007) is

hereby granted as set forth in paragraph

(2) below, subject to the provisions of

paragraphs (3), (4) and (5).

(2) NORDYNE shall be required to test

its Powermiser line of heat pumps on

the basis of the test procedures specified

in 10 CFR Part 430, Subpart B,

Appendix M, including the

modifications summarized in

Attachment A to the letter to NORDYNE

granting the Interim Waiver. These

modifications are fully presented on

pages 2–32 of NORDYNE’s attachment

to its Petition for Waiver and

Application for Interim Waiver, dated

January 24, 1995.

(3) NORDYNE shall also test and

represent:

• The annual and seasonal energy use

and cost of operation of its Powermiser

line of heat pumps, and

• The annual and seasonal cost

savings of its Powermiser line of heat

pumps, when compared to the

combination of a conventional heat

pump and electric water heater, as

follows:
