Commercial Refrigeration 

Equipment

On this page you will find information on the 

Commercial Refrigeration Equipment test 

procedure and energy conservation standard 

rulemakings, public meetings, and the product 

manager's contact listing.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is 

required by the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act, as amended by section 

136(c)(1) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, to 

establish energy conservation standards for 

the following commercial refrigeration 

equipment manufactured on or after January 

1, 2012: commercial ice-cream freezers; 

self-contained commercial refrigerators, 

commercial freezers, and commercial 

refrigerator-freezers without doors; and 

remote condensing commercial refrigerators, 

commercial freezers, and commercial 

refrigerator-freezers. (42 U.S.C. 

6313(c)(4)(A))

DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy Building Technologies 

Program oversees the Appliances and 

Commercial Standards program, which 

develops equipment energy conservation 

standards and has overall responsibility for 

rulemaking activities for commercial 

refrigeration equipment in fulfillment of the 

law.

DOE published the final rule for the energy 

conservation standard rulemaking, 72 FR 1092

(January 9, 2009). The Department 

determined that energy conservation 

standards for commercial refrigeration 

equipment result in significant conservation of 

energy, are technologically feasible, and are 

economically justified.
