SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Authority 

Title III of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act (EPCA) sets forth a 

variety of provisions concerning energy 

efficiency, including part B of Title III, 

which establishes the ‘‘Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles.’’ (42 

U.S.C. 6291–6309) part C of Title III 

provides for a similar energy efficiency 

program titled ‘‘Certain Industrial 

Equipment,’’ which includes 

commercial air conditioning equipment, 

package boilers, water heaters, and other 

types of commercial equipment.1 (42 

U.S.C. 6311–6317) 

Today’s notice involves commercial 

equipment under Part C. Part C 

specifically includes definitions (42 

U.S.C. 6311), test procedures (42 U.S.C. 

6314), labeling provisions (42 U.S.C. 

6315), energy conservation standards 

(42 U.S.C 6313), and the authority to 

require information and reports from 

manufacturers (42 U.S.C. 6316). With 

respect to test procedures, Part C 

authorizes the Secretary of Energy (the 

Secretary) to prescribe test procedures 

that are reasonably designed to produce 

results that measure energy efficiency, 

energy use, and estimated annual 

operating costs, and that are not unduly 

burdensome to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 

6314(a)(2)). 

For commercial package airconditioning and heating equipment, 

EPCA provides that ‘‘the test procedures 

shall be those generally accepted 

industry testing procedures or rating 

procedures developed or recognized by 

the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration 

Institute [ARI] or by the American 

Society of Heating, Refrigerating and 

Air-Conditioning Engineers [ASHRAE], 

as referenced in ASHRAE/IES Standard 

90.1 and in effect on June 30, 1992.’’ (42 

U.S.C. 6314(a)(4)(A)) Under 42 U.S.C. 

6314(a)(4)(B), if the industry test 

procedure for commercial package airconditioning and heating equipment is 

amended, EPCA directs the Secretary to 

amend the corresponding DOE test 

procedure unless the Secretary 

determines, by rule and based on clear 

and convincing evidence, that such a 

modified test procedure does not meet 

the statutory criteria set forth in 42 

U.S.C. 6314(a)(2) and (3). 

On December 8, 2006, DOE published 

a final rule adopting test procedures for 

commercial package air-conditioning 

and heating equipment, effective 

January 8, 2007. 71 FR 71340. Table 1 

to Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) 431.96 directs 

manufacturers of commercial package 

air conditioning and heating equipment 

to use the appropriate procedure when 

measuring energy efficiency of those 

products. For commercial package airsource equipment with capacities 

between 65,000 and 760,000 Btu/h, ARI 

Standard 340/360–2004 is the 

applicable test procedure. 

DOE’s regulations for covered 

products permit a person to seek a 

waiver from the test procedure 

requirements for covered commercial 

equipment if at least one of the 

following conditions is met: (1) The 

petitioner’s basic model contains one or 

more design characteristics that prevent 

testing according to the prescribed test 

procedures; or (2) 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. 10 CFR 431.401(a)(1). 

Petitioners must include in their 

petition any alternate test procedures 

known to the petitioner to evaluate the 

basic model in a manner representative 

of its energy consumption. 10 CFR 

431.401(b)(1)(iii). The Assistant 

Secretary for Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy (Assistant Secretary) 

may grant a waiver subject to 

conditions, including adherence to 

alternate test procedures. 10 CFR 

431.401(f)(4). Waivers remain in effect 

pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 

431.401(g). 

The waiver process also permits 

parties submitting a petition for waiver 

to file an application for interim waiver 

of the applicable test procedure 

requirements. 10 CFR 431.401(a)(2). The 

Assistant Secretary will grant an interim 

waiver request if it is determined that 

the applicant will experience economic 

hardship if the application for interim 

waiver is denied, if it appears likely that 

the petition for waiver will be granted, 

and/or the Assistant Secretary 

determines that it would be desirable for 

public policy reasons to grant 

immediate relief pending a 

determination on the petition for 

waiver. 10 CFR 431.401(e)(3). An 

interim waiver remains in effect for 180 

days or until DOE issues its 

determination on the petition for 

waiver, whichever occurs first. It may be 

extended by DOE for an additional 180 

days. 10 CFR 431.401(e)(4). 

II. Petition for Waiver 

On July 22, 2011, LG filed a petition 

for waiver from the test procedures at 10 

CFR 431.96 applicable to commercial 

package air-source and water-source 

central air conditioners and heat pumps, 

as well as an application for interim 

waiver. LG’s petition requested a waiver 

for the LG Multi V III multi-split heat 

pumps with capacities ranging from 

69,000 Btu/h to 414,000 Btu/h. The 

applicable test procedure for these heat 

pumps is ARI 340/360–2004. 

Manufacturers are directed to use these 

test procedures pursuant to Table 1 of 

10 CFR 431.96. 

LG seeks a waiver from the applicable 

test procedures under 10 CFR 431.96 on 

the grounds that its Multi V III multisplit heat pumps contain design 

characteristics that prevent testing 

according to the current DOE test 

procedures. Specifically, LG asserts that 

the two primary factors that prevent 

testing of its Multi V III multi-split 

variable speed products are the same 

factors stated in the waivers that DOE 

granted to Mitsubishi Electric & 

Electronics USA, Inc. (Mitsubishi) and 

other manufacturers for similar lines of 

commercial multi-split air-conditioning 

systems: 

• Testing laboratories cannot test 

products with so many indoor units; 

and 

• There are too many possible 

combinations of indoor and outdoor 

units to test. See, e.g., 72 FR 17528 

(April 9, 2007) (Mitsubishi); 76 FR 

19069 (April 6, 2011) (Daikin); 76 FR 

19078 (April 6, 2011) (Mitsubishi); 76 

FR 31951 (June 2, 2011) (Carrier); 76 FR 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2011 / Notices 53891 

50204 (August 12, 2011) (Fujitsu 

General Limited). 

The Multi V III systems have 

operational characteristics similar to the 

commercial multi-split products 

manufactured by other manufacturers. 

As indicated above, DOE has already 

granted waivers for these products. The 

Multi V III system consists of multiple 

indoor units connected to an air-cooled 

outdoor unit. These multi-splits are 

used in zoned systems where an 

outdoor or water-source unit can be 

connected with up to 13–61 separate 

indoor units, which need not be the 

same models. According to LG, the 

various indoor and outdoor models can 

be connected in a multitude of 

configurations, with many thousands of 

possible combinations. Consequently, 

LG requested that DOE grant a waiver 

from the applicable test procedures for 

its Multi V III product designs until a 

suitable test method can be prescribed. 

III. Application for and Grant of 

Interim Waiver 

On July 22, 2011, LG also submitted 

an application for an interim waiver 

from the test procedures at 10 CFR 

431.96 for its Multi V III equipment. 

DOE determined that LG’s application 

for interim waiver does not provide 

sufficient market, equipment price, 

shipments, and other manufacturer 

impact information to permit DOE to 

evaluate the economic hardship LG 

might experience absent a favorable 

determination on its application for an 

interim waiver. DOE understands, 

however, that if it did not issue an 

interim waiver, LG’s products would 

not be tested and rated for energy 

consumption in the same manner as 

equivalent products for which DOE 

previously granted waivers. 

Furthermore, DOE has determined that 

it appears likely that LG’s petition for 

waiver will be granted and that is 

desirable for public policy reasons to 

grant LG immediate relief pending a 

determination on the petition for 

waiver. DOE believes that it is likely 

LG’s petition for waiver for the new 

Multi V III multi-split models will be 

granted because, as noted above, DOE 

has previously granted a number of 

waivers for similar product designs. The 

two principal reasons supporting the 

grant of the previous waivers also apply 

to LG’s Multi V III products: (1) Test 

laboratories cannot test products with so 

many indoor units; and (2) it is 

impractical to test so many 

combinations of indoor units with each 

outdoor unit. In addition, DOE believes 

that similar products should be tested 

and rated for energy consumption on a 

comparable basis. For these same 

reasons, DOE also determined that it is 

desirable for public policy reasons to 

grant immediate relief pending a 

determination on the petition for 

waiver. 

Therefore, it is ordered that: 

The application for interim waiver 

filed by LG is hereby granted for LG’s 

Multi V III multi-split heat pumps, 

subject to the specifications and 

conditions below. 

1. LG shall not be required to test or 

rate its Multi V III commercial multisplit products on the basis of the 

existing test procedures under 10 CFR 

431.96, which incorporates by reference 

ARI 340/360–2004. 

2. LG shall be required to test and rate 

its Multi V III commercial multi-split 

products according to the alternate test 

procedure as set forth in section IV, 

‘‘Alternate test procedure.’’ 

The interim waiver applies to the 

following basic model groups:

This interim waiver is issued on the 

condition that the statements, 

representations, and documents 

provided by the petitioner are valid. 

DOE may revoke or modify this interim 

waiver at any time if it determines the 

factual basis underlying the petition for 

waiver is incorrect or the results from 

the alternate test procedure are 

unrepresentative of the basic models’ 

true energy consumption characteristics. 

DOE makes decisions on waivers and 

interim waivers for only those models 

specifically set out in the petition, not 

future models that may be manufactured 

by the petitioner. LG may submit a new 

or amended petition for waiver and 

request for grant of interim waiver, as 

appropriate, for additional models of

commercial package air conditioners 

and heat pumps for which it seeks a 

waiver from the DOE test procedure. In 

addition, DOE notes that grant of an 

interim waiver or waiver does not 

release a petitioner from the 

certification requirements set forth at 10 

CFR part 429. 

IV. Alternate Test Procedure 

In responses to two petitions for 

waiver from Mitsubishi, DOE specified 

an alternate test procedure to provide a 

basis from which Mitsubishi could test 

and make valid energy efficiency 

representations for its R410A CITY 

MULTI products, as well as for its R22 

multi-split products. Alternate test 

procedures related to the Mitsubishi 

petitions were published in the Federal 

Register on April 9, 2007. See 72 FR 

17528 and 72 FR 17533. For reasons 

similar to those published in these prior 

notices, DOE believes that an alternate 

test procedure is appropriate in this 

instance. 

DOE understands that existing testing 

facilities have limited ability to test 

multiple indoor units simultaneously. 

This limitation makes it impractical for 

manufacturers to test the large number 

of possible combinations of indoor and 

outdoor units for some variable 

refrigerant flow zoned systems. We 

further note that after DOE granted a 

waiver for Mitsubishi’s R22 multi-split 

products, ARI formed a committee to 

discuss testing issues and to develop a 

testing protocol for variable refrigerant 

flow systems. The committee has 

developed a test procedure which has 

been adopted by AHRI—‘‘ANSI/AHRI 

1230–2010: Performance Rating of 

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) MultiSplit Air-Conditioning and Heat Pump 

Equipment’’ and incorporated into 

ASHRAE 90.1–2010. ANSI/AHRI 1230– 

2010 is consistent with the alternate test 

procedure established in the 

commercial multi-split waivers that 

DOE has granted to Mitsubishi and 

several other manufacturers. ANSI/ 

AHRI 1230–2010 uses a definition of 

‘‘tested combination’’ that is 

substantially the same as the definition 

in the alternate test procedure in those 

waivers. DOE prescribed ANSI/AHRI 

1230–2010 in decision and orders 

granted to Carrier Corporation (76 FR 

31951, June 2, 2011) and Fujitsu General 

Limited (76 FR 50204, August 12, 2011). 

Therefore, as a condition for granting 

this interim waiver to LG, DOE requires 

the use of ANSI/AHRI–1230–2010 as the 

alternate test procedure for units with 

capacities at or below 300,000 Btu/hr 

and the alternate test procedure 

specified in the Mitsubishi waiver for 

larger capacity units. This alternate test 

procedure will allow LG to test and 

make energy efficiency representations 

for its Multi V III products. As stated 

above, DOE has applied a similar 

alternate test procedure to other waivers 

for similar residential and commercial 

central air conditioners and heat pumps 

manufactured by other manufacturers. 

See, e.g., 72 FR 17528, April 9, 2007 

(Mitsubishi); 76 FR 19069, April 6, 2011 

(Daikin); 76 FR 19078, April 6, 2011 

(Mitsubishi); 76 FR 31951, June 2, 2011 

(Carrier); 76 FR 50204, August 12, 2011 

(Fujitsu General Limited). 

The alternate test procedure in the 

commercial multi-split waivers that 

DOE granted to Mitsubishi and the other 

manufacturers listed above is similar to 

ANSI/AHRI 1230–2010, except that, as 

stated previously, it covers equipment 

with cooling capacities greater than 

300,000 Btu/hr while ANSI/AHRI 1230– 

2010 covers equipment with cooling 

capacities only equal to or less than 

300,000 Btu/hr. In addition, the earlier 

alternate test procedure consisted of a 

definition of a ‘‘tested combination’’ and 

a prescription for representations. 

ANSI/AHRI 1230–2010 also includes a 

definition of ‘‘tested combination,’’ and 

the two definitions are identical in all 

relevant respects. As described in the 

following paragraph, the prescription 

for representations in ANSI/AHRI is 

also similar to the prescription in the 

earlier alternate test procedure, but 

requires separate representations for 

ducted, non-ducted and mixed units. 

The earlier alternate test procedure 

provides for efficiency rating of a nontested combination in one of two ways: 

(1) At an energy efficiency level 

determined using a DOE-approved 

alternative rating method; or (2) at the 

efficiency level of the tested 

combination utilizing the same outdoor 

unit. ANSI/AHRI 1230–2010 requires an 

additional test and in this respect is 

similar to the residential test procedure 

set forth in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, 

appendix M. Multi-split manufacturers 

must test two or more combinations of 

indoor units with each outdoor unit. 

The first system combination is tested 

using only non-ducted indoor units that 

meet the definition of a tested 

combination. The rating given to any 

untested multi-split system combination 

having the same outdoor unit and all 

non-ducted indoor units is set equal to 

the rating of the tested system having all 

non-ducted indoor units. The second 

system combination is tested using only 

ducted indoor units that meet the 

definition of a tested combination. The 

rating given to any untested multi-split 

system combination having the same 

outdoor unit and all ducted indoor units 

is set equal to the rating of the tested 

system having all ducted indoor units. 

The rating given to any untested multisplit system combination having the 

same outdoor unit and a mix of nonducted and ducted indoor units is set 

equal to the average of the ratings for the 

two required tested combinations. 

Alternate Test Procedure 

(A) LG is not required to test the 

products with cooling capacities of 

300,000 Btu/h and below listed in its 

petition for waiver dated July 22, 2011, 

according to the test procedure for 

commercial package air conditioners 

and heat pumps prescribed by DOE at 

10 CFR 431.96 (ARI Standard 340/360– 

2004 (incorporated by reference in 10 

CFR 431.95(b)(2)–(3)), but instead shall 

use the alternate test procedure ANSI/ 

AHRI 1230–2010. 

(B) LG shall be required to test the 

equipment listed in its petition for 

waiver dated July 22, 2011, with cooling 

capacities above 300,000 Btu/h 

according to the test procedures for 

central air conditioners and heat pumps 

prescribed by DOE at 10 CFR 431.96, 

except that LG shall test a ‘‘tested 

combination’’ selected in accordance 

with the provisions of subparagraph (C). 

For every other system combination 

using the same outdoor unit as the 

tested combination, LG shall make 

representations concerning the Multi V 

III equipment covered in this interim 

waiver according to the provisions of 

subparagraph (D). 

(C) Tested combination. The term 

tested combination means a sample 

basic model comprised of units that are 

production units, or are representative 

of production units, of the basic model 

being tested. For the purposes of this 

waiver, the tested combination shall 

have the following features: 

(1) The basic model of a variable 

refrigerant flow system used as a tested 

combination shall consist of one 

outdoor unit, with one or more 

compressors, that is matched with 

between two and five indoor units. (For 

systems with nominal cooling capacities 

greater than 150,000 Btu/h, as many as 

eight indoor units may be used, to 

enable testing of non-ducted indoor unit 

combinations.) For multi-split systems, 

each of these indoor units shall be 

designed for individual operation. 

(2) The indoor units shall— 

(i) Represent the highest sales model 

family or another indoor model family 

if the highest sales model family does 

not provide sufficient capacity (see ii); 

(ii) Together, have a nominal cooling 

capacity that is between 95% and 105% 

of the nominal cooling capacity of the 

outdoor unit; 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2011 / Notices 53893 

(iii) Not, individually, have a nominal 

cooling capacity that is greater than 

50% of the nominal cooling capacity of 

the outdoor unit; 

(iv) Operate at fan speeds that are 

consistent with the manufacturer’s 

specifications; and 

(v) Be subject to the same minimum 

external static pressure requirement 

while being configurable to produce the 

same static pressure at the exit of each 

outlet plenum when manifolded as per 

section 2.4.1 of 10 CFR part 430, subpart 

B, appendix M. 

(D) Representations. In making 

representations about the energy 

efficiency of its Multi V III variable 

capacity multi-split heat pump products 

for compliance, marketing, or other 

purposes, LG must fairly disclose the 

results of testing under the DOE test 

procedure in a manner consistent with 

the provisions outlined below: 

(1) For Multi V III combinations tested 

in accordance with this alternate test 

procedure, LG may make 

representations based on these test 

results. 

(2) For Multi V III combinations that 

are not tested, LG may make 

representations of non-tested 

combinations at the same energy 

efficiency level as the tested 

combination. The outdoor unit must be 

the one used in the tested combination. 

The representations must be based on 

the test results for the tested 

combination. The representations may 

also be determined by an Alternative 

Rating Method approved by DOE.

Re: Petition for Waiver and Application for 

Interim Waiver, LG Electronics Multi V 

III VRF Multi-Split Heat Recovery 

Systems and Heat Pump Systems 

Dear Assistant Secretary Kelly: 

LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) respectfully 

submits this Petition for Waiver and 

Application for Interim Waiver, pursuant to 

10 C.F.R. § 431.401, for certain LG Multi V 

III variable refrigerant flow (VRF) multi-split 

air-source heat recovery systems, specifically 

the Multi V III heat recovery systems (3; 

208/230 V 60 Hz, and 3; 460 V 60 Hz), and 

LG Multi V III VRF multi-split air-source heat 

pump systems, specifically the Multi V III 

heat pump systems (3; 208/230 V 60 Hz, and 

3; 460 V 60 Hz), listed in Appendix A 

hereto. This request adds models to the 

waivers that DOE already has granted to LG 

for Multi V and Multi V II VRF multi-split 

systems. 76 Fed. Reg. 29733 (May 23, 2011) 

(interim waiver); 74 Fed. Reg. 66330 (Dec. 15, 

2009); id. 20688 (May 5, 2009) (interim 

waiver). 

Among other things, the applicable DOE 

test procedure does not provide a method for 

testing and rating a system that utilizes so 

many indoor units; the applicable test 

procedure does not provide a method for 

rating systems where the type and capacity 

of the indoor unit can be mixed in the same 

system; and no testing laboratories can test 

products with so many indoor units. See, 

e.g., 75 Fed. Reg. 41845, 41848 (July 19, 

2010) (existing testing facilities ‘‘have a 

limited ability to test multiple indoor units 

simultaneously,’’ and ‘‘it is impractical to test 

some variable refrigerant flow zoned 

systems’’). 

Waiver relief has been granted for many 

other comparable commercial multi-splits, 

including LG, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Fujitsu, 

Sanyo, Daikin, and Carrier. See 69 Fed. Reg. 

52660 (Aug. 27, 2004) (Mitsubishi); 70 Fed.

14, 2011) (Daikin); and id. 40714 (July 11, 

2011) (Mitsubishi). As stated above, LG’s 

current request simply adds additional 

models to the waiver relief already granted to 

LG. 

LG is a manufacturer of digital appliances, 

as well as mobile communications, digital 

displays, and digital media products. Its 

appliances include air-conditioners, washing 

machines, clothes dryers, refrigerators, 

refrigerator-freezers, air cleaners, ovens,

brands include LG® and OEM brands, 

including GE® and Kenmore®. LG’s 

appliances are produced in Korea and 

Mexico. 

LG’s Multi V VRF systems are beneficial 

products, each consisting of a single outdoor 

unit, using a scroll type inverter compressor 

with variable capacity, that can connect to 

multiple indoor units and that uses VRF and 

control systems. (In certain high capacity 

applications [152,900 Btu/h and above], a 

consumer can choose between a system using 

a single outdoor unit and a system using two 

or three outdoor units.) These multi-splits are 

intended to be used in zoned systems where 

an outdoor unit can be connected with up to

1718.20 (1971 Transfer Binder); 49 Fed. Reg. 32213

30, 1987). 

between 13 and 61 separate indoor units, 

which need not be the same models. The 

operating characteristics allow each indoor 

unit to have a different set temperature and 

a different mode of operation (i.e., on/off/ 

fan). All of the indoor units are capable of 

operating independently, with their own 

temperature and fan speed setting. Based on 

those controls, the outdoor unit will then 

determine the cooling or heating capacity 

delivered into the zones. The system 

therefore offers great flexibility and 

convenience to the consumer, permitting 

precise space conditioning control 

throughout the building, and thus saving 

energy. The cooling capacities of the systems 

are between 69,000 and 414,000 Btu/h. 

The variable speed, constant speed or dual 

compressors and the associated system 

controls can direct refrigerant flow 

throughout the system to precisely meet the 

various heating or cooling loads required in 

the conditioned areas. The compressor is 

capable of reducing its operating capacity to 

as little as 10 percent of its rated capacity. 

The outdoor fan motor also has a variable 

speed drive to properly match the outdoor 

coil to indoor loads. Zone diversity enables 

the system to have a total connected indoor 

unit capacity of up to 130 percent of the 

capacity of the outdoor. 

As discussed above, up to between 13 and 

61 indoor units can be matched with each 

related outdoor unit. Thus, for each outdoor 

unit there is a multitude of possible 

combinations of indoor units that can be 

matched in a system configuration. And 

since there are so many outdoor units and 

indoor units, there is an enormous total of 

possible combinations. 

A waiver and interim waiver for the 

specified LG Multi V III VRF systems are 

warranted because test procedures under the 

Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), 

42 U.S.C. § 6291 et seq., namely 10 C.F.R. 

§ 431.96, evaluate the basic models in a 

manner so unrepresentative of their true 

energy consumption characteristics as to 

provide materially inaccurate comparative 

data, and/or the basic models contain one or 

more design characteristics that prevent 

testing of the basic model according to the 

prescribed test procedures. In such 

circumstances DOE ‘‘will grant’’ waiver 

relief. 10 C.F.R. §§ 431.401(e)(3), (f)(4). In that 

regard: 

—The test procedure provides for testing of 

a pair of indoor and outdoor assemblies 

making up a typical split system, but does 

not specify how LG Multi V VRF systems, 

with so many combinations of indoor units 

for each outdoor unit, could be evaluated. 

The situation is further complicated by the 

fact that there are so many outdoor units. 

It is not practical to test each possible 

combination, and the test procedure 

provides no alternative rating method for 

generating efficiency ratings for systems 

with more than one indoor unit. Thus, the 

test procedure does not contemplate, and 

cannot practically be applied to, LG Multi 

V VRF systems. DOE has already 

recognized this by granting waiver relief to 

LG, and to other manufacturers for 

comparable systems. 

—Testing laboratories cannot test products 

with so many indoor units. In that regard, 

the testing of multi-splits when all indoor 

units are connected cannot be physically 

located in a single room. 

—The test procedure provides for testing 

‘‘matched assemblies,’’ which does not 

apply to LG Multi V VRF systems. Indoor 

and outdoor coils in split systems are 

typically balanced; that is, the capacity of 

the outdoor coil is equivalent to the 

capacity of the indoor coil. The test 

procedure’s application to ‘‘matched 

assemblies’’ contemplates such a balance 

between indoor and outdoor coil capacity. 

With the Multi V VRF systems, however, 

the sum of the capacity of the indoor units 

connected into the system can be as much 

as 130 percent of the capacity of the 

outdoor coil. Such unbalanced 

combinations of LG indoor and outdoor 

units are permitted by the zoning 

characteristics of the system, the use of 

electronic expansion valves to precisely 

control refrigerant flow to each indoor coil, 

and the system intelligence for overall 

system control. The test procedure 

designed for ‘‘matched assemblies’’ 

therefore does not contemplate or address 

testing for substantially unbalanced zoning 

systems such as the LG Multi V VRF 

systems. 

—The indoor units are designed to operate at 

many different external static pressure 

values, which compounds the difficulty of 

testing LG Multi V VRF systems. A test 

facility could not maintain proper airflow 

at several different external static pressure 

values for the many indoor units that 

would be connected to the outdoor unit. 

* * * 

For all of these reasons, the existing test 

procedures evaluate the LG Multi V VRF 

systems in a manner so unrepresentative of 

their true energy consumption characteristics 

as to provide materially inaccurate 

comparative data and/or the basic models 

contain one or more design characteristics 

that prevent testing of the basic model 

according to the prescribed test procedures. 

Therefore, DOE should grant a waiver for the 

LG Multi V VRF systems set forth in 

Appendix A. See 10 C.F.R. § 431.401(a)(1). 

The waiver should continue until a test 

procedure can be developed and adopted that 

will provide the U.S. market with a fair and 

accurate assessment of the LG Multi V VRF 

system energy consumption and efficiency 

levels. LG intends to work with DOE, 

stakeholders, and the Air-Conditioning, 

Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) to 

develop the appropriate test procedure. 

There are no alternative test procedures 

known to LG that could evaluate these 

products in a representative manner (other 

than perhaps the procedures provided by 

DOE in its waiver decisions for comparable 

products). 

That a waiver is warranted is borne out by 

the fact that DOE has granted waiver relief to 

LG, as well as to Mitsubishi, Samsung, 

Fujitsu, Sanyo, Daikin, and Carrier for 

comparable commercial multi-splits. 

Manufacturers of all other basic models 

marketed in the United States and known to 

LG to incorporate similar design 

characteristics as found in the LG Multi V 

VRF systems include Mitsubishi Electric and 

Electronics USA, Samsung Air Conditioning, 

Fujitsu General Limited, SANYO North 

America Corp., Daikin AC (Americas), Inc., 

and Carrier Corporation. 

LG also requests immediate relief by grant 

of an interim waiver. Grant of an interim 

waiver is fully justified: 

—The petition for waiver is likely to be 

granted, as evidenced not only by its 

merits, but also because DOE has already 

granted waiver relief to LG, Mitsubishi, 

Samsung, Fujitsu, Sanyo, Daikin, and 

Carrier for their commercial VRF multisplits. In such instances, it is in the public 

interest to have similar products tested and 

rated for energy consumption on a 

comparable basis. 

—Without waiver relief, LG will be at a 

competitive disadvantage in the market 

and suffer economic hardship. LG would 

be placed in an untenable situation: the 

Multi V VRF systems involved here would 

be subject to a set of regulations that DOE 

already acknowledges should not apply to 

such a product, while at the same time 

other manufacturers are allowed to operate 

relieved from such regulations. 

—Significant investment has already been 

made in LG Multi V VRF systems. Lack of 

relief would not allow LG to recoup this 

investment as it relates to the models 

involved here and would deny LG 

anticipated sales revenue. This does not 

take into account significant losses in 

goodwill and brand acceptance. 

—The basic purpose of EPCA is to foster 

purchase of energy-efficient products, not 

hinder such purchases. LG Multi V VRF 

systems produce a benefit to consumers 

and are in the public interest. To encourage 

and foster the availability of these products 

is in the public interest. Standards 

programs should not be used as a means 

to block innovative, improved designs.2

DOE’s rules should accommodate and 

encourage—not act to block—such a 

product. 

—Granting the interim waiver and waiver 

would also eliminate a non-tariff trade 

barrier. 

—Grant of relief would also help enhance 

economic development and employment, 

including not only LG Electronics USA’s 

operations in New Jersey, Georgia, Texas, 

California, Illinois and Alabama, but also at 

major national retailers and regional 

dealers that carry LG products. 

Furthermore, continued employment 

creation and ongoing investments in its 

marketing, sales and servicing activities 

will be fostered by approval of the interim 

waiver. Conversely, denial of the requested 

relief would harm the company and would 

be anticompetitive. 

CONCLUSION 

LG respectfully requests that DOE grant a 

waiver and interim waiver from existing test 

standards for LG Multi V III VRF multi-split 

systems set forth in Appendix A hereto until 

such time as a representative test procedure 

is developed and adopted for such products.
