DOE regulation of clothes washers.

DOE regulation of white goods for full line manufacturers.

There appears to be a general consensus among stakeholders that updating clothes

dryer standards should be given low priority.

At least three U.S. manufacturers are marketing high efficiency clothes washers,

which are likely to have improved moisture extraction.

Significant dryer savings potential has been considered in clothes washer

rulemaking (greater moisture extraction). Mechanical extraction has been

estimated to be much more cost effective than thermal extraction.

New electric dryers advertise 30% reduction in energy usage.

Low

DOE does not plan to actively pursue rulemaking in the next year. Work would be

limited to basic technology investigation and monitoring of voluntary programs.

Interested Parties believe this is a low priority product. Other DOE standards will

impose cumulative burden on white goods manufacturers.

Low

There are no other existing or proposed test procedures specifically targeted at

room air conditioners. The only possible alternative would be to develop a

seasonal energy efficiency measure analogous to the SEER used for central air

conditioners. It is uncertain how valuable such a seasonal standard would be in

better predicting actual energy usage, as many people tend to use RACs as on-off

devices.
