## (9:13 a.m.) 3 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. So hi, my name is 4 

## Ashley Armstrong. I'm the DOE rep on the Fans and 5 

## Blowers Working Group. I'd like to welcome all you 6 

## guys for our first kickoff meeting, to hopefully 7 

## negotiate some aspects of the definition, test 8 

## procedures, and ultimately the proposed standard 9 

## levels for commercial industrial fans and blowers. 10 

## So we look forward to a fruitful 11 

## discussion, and a lot of hard work over the next 12 

## three months. So I'm going to turn it over to Wade. 13 

## Do you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, and 14 

## at least we need to go around the room and all 15 

## introduce ourselves. 16 

## MR. BOSWELL: So my name is Wade Boswell, 17 

## and I'm one of the facilitators today. I think in 18 

## the letter that was sent to you when you were invited 19 

## to join the committee, DOE mentioned that we're using 20 

## facilitators from DOE's Office of Hearings and 21 

## Appeals. So I'm part of that office, and we'll 22 

## introduce ourselves a bit more once we get into theMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 5 1 

## slides and talk about the facilitation process. 2 

## But for the time being, why don't we just 3 

## go ahead and have everyone introduce themselves? One 4 

## of the challenges that we have is this is probably 5 

## the -- one of the largest, if not the largest working 6 

## group we've had. So this table is not really 7 

## designed for the size of this group. 8 

## We have 25 committee members, which is the 9 

## maximum that we're allowed to have. So we actually 10 

## have some of our formal committee members on the side 11 

## table, where there would be normally be consultants. 12 

## So that's going to make our dynamics a 13 

## little bit more interesting, to make sure that we're 14 

## really including everyone in the discussion. 15 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Can you use your 16 

## microphone? 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Oh, okay. Is this better? 18 

## Maybe. Is this better? No. Is this okay? 19 

## FEMALE PARTICIPANT: Yes. 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So just to get 21 

## started, we're going to go around and introduce 22 

## ourselves. Some of our formal committee members areMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## actually at a side table as opposed to at the main 2 

## table. 3 

## So that's going to be one of the things 4 

## that will make our kind of discussions a bit more 5 

## challenging over the next couple of days, and we'll 6 

## talk, introduce ourselves a bit more once we get into 7 

## the facilitation process. Why don't we start here? 8 

## MR. SHEARD: Does that work? 9 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Yep. 10 

## MR. SHEARD: Very good. My name's Geoff 11 

## Sheard. I work for a company called AGS Consulting, 12 

## focusing on the design of higher efficiency fans, 13 

## which as a consequence of this regulatory 14 

## environment, there is a certain interest in the 15 

## marketplace. I also by chance happen to be the 16 

## chairman of the AMCA Board of Directors just at the 17 

## moment. So that's my second reason for being here. 18

## (Off mic comments.) 15 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Ashley, this is Gary. I 16 

## don't think the gain is turned up for the lavalier 17

## MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. I'll tell the 19 

## audio people. Thanks. Okay. Just to talk a little 20 

## bit about how we all got here. As I'm sure you guys 21 

## are aware, but DOE originally formed the Appliance 22 

## Standards Advisory Committee back in 2012. It'sMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 12 1 

## basically just that. It's an advisory committee that 2 

## reports to DOE. 3 

## Its intention is to focus on appliance 4 

## standards rulemaking and issues, and one of the tasks 5 

## that originated within ASRAC is to form these working 6 

## groups where it makes sense, to charter and negotiate 7 

## ultimately different types of issues that DOE is 8 

## dealing with in a rulemaking. 9 

## The next slide. So as needed, obviously 10 

## ASRAC votes to form working groups. We've formed, I 11 

## think, seven or eight up to this point, and so far 12 

## all have been successful at negotiating a term sheet. 13 

## There's two others along with this one 14 

## that are just now starting and kicking off. But 15 

## we've had great success with the working groups in 16 

## coming to negotiated conclusions for some of the 17 

## stickier issues that you see in the Department and 18 

## rulemaking activities. 19 

## So just some high level things. ASRAC 20 

## tasked this working group specifically with 21 

## negotiating aspects of the definitions, certain 22 

## aspects of the test procedures and ultimately proposeMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 13 1 

## standard levels for commercial fans and blowers. So 2 

## we'll get started talking about that probably later 3 

## today. 4 

## DOE may ask ASRAC to withdraw a task at 5 

## any time, so ASRAC may ask this committee to stop 6 

## negotiating if negotiations stall for some reason. 7 

## In the event a consensus recommendation is not 8 

## reached for a particular task within the time frame 9 

## that has been allotted, ASRAC will report back to DOE 10 

## and DOE may proceed with its own rulemaking at that 11 

## time. 12 

## So just so you know what the purpose of 13 

## this couple day meeting is, at least today, we're 14 

## going to go over the negotiation process. Wade's 15 

## going to give you an overview of what that looks 16 

## like, establishment of ground rules. So that's kind 17 

## of the rules for which the committee will operate by, 18 

## what does consensus mean, what are we agreeing to, 19 

## what is good faith, those types of things. 20 

## We'll establish the schedule and meetings 21 

## for the next three months so you know when we would 22 

## like to see your faces in D.C. And then we willMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 14 1 

## identify some issues for future meetings, as well as 2 

## some analysis issues that we may need to consider or 3 

## we may need to prepare in the background, for to help 4 

## with the discussions moving forward. 5 

## Today, we plan to do some high level 6 

## overviews if we get to it, probably tomorrow 7 

## actually, of the definitions, where I expect there 8 

## will be quite a bit of discussion, as well as the 9 

## metric and then potentially from there we'll go into 10 

## efficiency levels and other things if we get to it. 11 

## So with that, I'm going to turn it over to 12 

## you to take us through the rest of it. 13 

## MR. BOSWELL: So we have an attorney from 14 

## DOE's Office of General Law coming at 9:30 to talk 15 

## about ethics issues and things of that sort. That 16 

## normally takes five minutes or thereabouts. So Wayne 17 

## Gordon I'm expecting at right about 9:30. 18 

## So before we kind of get into more formal 19 

## presentations on negotiation and setting ground 20 

## rules, I realized that when we went around the room, 21 

## I should have mentioned two other things at least. 22 

## One, Ashley is a member of ASRAC, whichMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

### this working group was chartered by. There are two 2 

### other ASRAC members that are on the Committee, who 3 

### are not here today. One is Deborah Miller, who is 4 

### ill and is not expecting to be here today or 5 

### tomorrow. The other is Diane Jakobs, who I 6 

### understand is participating via the web with an open 7 

### mic. 8 

### So Diane, I don't know if your mic is 9 

### open, if you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, 10 

### since you didn't have the opportunity to when we went 11 

### around the room. 12 

### MS. JAKOBS: Yes. This is Diane Jakobs, 13 

### and I work for Rheem Manufacturing, and as you mentioned, 14 

### I'm a member of the ASRAC Committee. 15 

### MR. BOSWELL: Great, thank you. 16 

### MS. JAKOBS: Thank you. 17 

### MR. BOSWELL: So just some housekeeping 18 

### things while we're waiting for Wayne to get here. I 19 

### think you all know that this is a public meeting. We 20 

### have people that are non-committee that are seated at 21 

### the back. 22 

### We also have people that can participate,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## either committee members are public by the web. If a 2 

## committee members is participating by the web, it's 3 

## our hope that we can keep them on an open mic like 4 

## Diane is, so that they can be a full participant in 5 

## the discussions. 6 

## And when we get into talking about the 7 

## ground rules, we'll talk about the fact that for the 8 

## purposes of these working groups, traditionally 9 

## participation, although ideally is in person in the 10 

## room, that members can also participate fully via the 11 

## GoTo web or webinar. I'm not sure what technology 12 

## we're using. 13 

## Other things. One of the strategies that 14 

## we try to use is, you know, part of this process is 15 

## to make sure that everyone in the committee has a 16 

## chance to be fully heard on their thoughts and 17 

## concerns in the rulemaking process. Our role as 18 

## facilitators, we'll talk about more in a few minutes, 19 

## is to, you know, make sure people have that 20 

## opportunity. 21 

## What we normally do is we ask people that 22 

## are on the committee when they want to speak to justMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 17 1 

## turn up their tent cards like this. That lets us 2 

## know that people want to speak. The issue, of 3 

## course, is I'm not sure I'm going to be able to see 4 

## the tent cards over there. So you might need to 5 

## signal a bit more, you know, blatantly if you're 6 

## there. 7 

## It's our intent also to let people speak 8 

## in the order that we've seen their tent cards go up. 9 

## With a group this size, people may be signaling 10 

## simultaneously. So we will deal with that. When 11 

## you're through speaking, we ask that you put your 12 

## tent card down, so that we know that you've finished 13 

## articulating your concern. 14 

## The other thing, since this is a 15 

## transcript is being made of today's proceeding, and 16 

## that will also be posted on the DOE website, we ask 17 

## that when people speak, they state their name and 18 

## their organization, so that that appears clearly on 19 

## the transcript as well. So any preliminary questions 20 

## about that, because I see that Wayne has arrived from 21 

## GC. So I'm going to invite him in. 22 

## MR. GORDON: Good morning. My name isMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 18 1 

## Wayne Gordon and I work in the General Law Division 2 

## of the General Counsel's office. I work for the 3 

## designated agency ethics official for the Department, 4 

## and I am the legal advisor for the parent committee 5 

## to this working group. 6 

## The parent committee is called the 7 

## Appliance Standards Rulemaking Advisory Committee. 8 

## That is a parent committee that has been put together 9 

## in conjunction with both the Federal Advisory 10 

## Committee Act and the Administrative Procedures Act. 11 

## It's a new type of advisory committee that we've been 12 

## using for a couple of years now, and it consists of a 13 

## parent committee, which has both special government 14 

## employees and representative employees on it. 15 

## That parent committee is going to be 16 

## reviewing all of the work from the various working 17 

## groups for the various types of appliances that 18 

## rulemaking is being devised for. In terms of the 19 

## legal advice that I give to people, for the parent 20 

## committee, my legal advice is really oriented towards 21 

## special government employees, because they are 22 

## subject to all the regular conflict of interestMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 19 1 

## provisions under statutory rules. 2 

## In particular, 18 U.S.C. 208, which says 3 

## that if you're a special government employee or 4 

## you're a federal employee, you can't participate in 5 

## any particular matter that would have an effect on 6 

## your personal financial interest, or on financial 7 

## interests that are attributable to you. 8 

## In the context of giving advice to the 9 

## special government employees, I'm also cognizant of 10 

## the fact that we have representatives on that parent 11 

## committee, and from my understanding of the working 12 

## group here, all of you are representing some type of 13 

## business interest, and in that context, the regular 14 

## conflict of interest rules that are applicable to 15 

## federal employees are not applicable to you. 16 

## So to the extent that you're acting on 17 

## things or participating or coming up with suggestions 18 

## for particular rules that would have an effect on 19 

## your home organization's or groups of organizations 20 

## that are going to be affected by this rulemaking, 21 

## that's permitted under conflict of interest rules. 22 

## We actually are -- we run theseMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## representatives groups to get that kind of input, so 2 

## that we have a good product that goes to the actual 3 

## parent committee, once you've come up with your 4 

## negotiations and you've come up with some sort of a 5 

## plan for your recommendations back to the parent 6 

## committee. 7 

## Now the rulemaking advisory committee is 8 

## going to vote on your recommendations. So in the 9 

## context of looking at conflicts of interest, we want 10 

## to make sure that we get a full and complete 11 

## representational type of communication going. So 12 

## it's not -- it's not a problem from a representative 13 

## perspective, for you to be actually participating 14 

## fully, even if it could affect your home institution. 15 

## As opposed to it, the parent committee 16 

## level, that's where if there are specific people that 17 

## would be affected by the recommendations, we excuse 18 

## them and we get them out of those particular 19 

## discussions or votes. So my advice is always 20 

## oriented towards John Cymbalsky, who is the 21 

## designated federal officer for the parent committee. 22 

## But if there are things that come up inMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## Wade thinks it's necessary, you would call John and 7

## to legal issues or conflicts of interest, that we're 2 

## not permitted to answer those, that they really need 3 

## to go, if they're internal to the organizations, to 4 

## your legal advisors or if it's a DOE issue, through 5 

## the DOE's Office of General Counsel. 6 

## To the extent, as we're going on, as 7 

## people mentioned, the temperature in the room is not 8 

## the greatest. Some of that's not controlled by DOE. 9 

## GSA often controls when the AC actually comes on in 10 

## this building. If people need a break at any point, 11 

## and we're not calling one here, just signal in some 12 

## way and we'll try and make sure that gets 13 

## accommodated. 14 

## Just so that you're also aware, we try to 15 

## be careful about doing this. We were once doing an 16 

## internal mediation when we had an earthquake, and 17 

## everybody panicked and didn't know what to do. So if 18 

## there's an emergency, there are emergency exits at 19 

## the end of each of the hallways here. There are 20 

## stairwells, you know. Us DOE employees will try to 21 

## make sure that everyone gets out if we're in that 22 

## situation. Hopefully, that will not happen.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## When we take breaks or lunch, if you go to 2 

## the ground level of this building, if you haven't 3 

## discovered it, there is a Dunkin Donuts and a Subway 4 

## off to the left, and if you go to the right, you'll 5 

## see an escalator past the auditorium, and that goes 6 

## up to a cafeteria. There's also lots of food 7 

## opportunities outside of the building as well. 8 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Well, right across the 9 

## street there's the cafeteria. 10 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So as I mentioned 11 

## earlier, and unfortunately we don't have tent cards 12 

## yet, but my name is Wade Boswell. I'm with the DOE's 13 

## Office of Hearings and Appeals, and we are going to 14 

## be facilitating this particular rulemaking. One of 15 

## the reasons that we're asked from the Office of 16 

## Hearings and Appeals to facilitate is although we are 17 

## part of DOE, we're actually part of DOE that's 18 

## somewhat removed from the rest of DOE. Primarily 19 

## we're adjudicators, and that, you know, in the cases 20 

## that we hear at DOE is often one of the parties that 21 

## is, you know, before us, and we're charged with being 22 

## neutral and impartial in that context.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 24 1 

## And so being an impartial negotiator of 2 

## rulemakings, it's kind of an extension of the 3 

## partiality that we have in either adjudicating. We 4 

## also do some mediations. As I said earlier, my 5 

## name's Wade Boswell. My own background is prior to 6 

## rejoining the government a few years ago, I had been 7 

## a private practice mediator. I have trained 8 

## mediators, both informally and through a law school 9 

## for about nine years. 10 

## Prior to that, I worked in New York. I 11 

## was with major law firms as both an associate and a 12 

## partner. I was also with the German company Siemens, 13 

## and I was general counsel of one of their 14 

## international groups for about nine years. So you 15 

## know, the technology side from my years at Siemens, 16 

## is not necessarily this particular technology. 17 

## While I was at Siemens, I was also on the 18 

## board of our trade association. So you know, I have 19 

## some understanding of the perspective of trade 20 

## associations. Since I've been with DOE, I have been 21 

## part of our mediation team for the last several 22 

## years, and one of our administrative judges at DOE.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 25 1 

## And co-facilitating with me will be Stephen Fine. 2 

## Steve, do you want to introduce yourself? 3 

## MR. FINE: Yeah. I am Steve Fine, and 4 

## I've been an administrative judge with the Department 5 

## of Energy's Office of Hearings and Appeals for -- 6 

## since 1988 or however long that's been, and I'm also 7 

## a trained mediator, and I'm here to assist Wade in 8 

## facilitating this matter. Thanks. 9 

## MR. BOSWELL: And one kind of group or 10 

## division within the Office of Hearings and Appeals is 11 

## DOE's Office of Conflict Prevention Resolution, and 12 

## Pam is part of that group. 13 

## MS. PONTILLO: Good morning, my name is 14 

## Pam Pontillo, and I'm with the Office of Conflict 15 

## Prevention Resolution. I manage the headquarters 16 

## mediation program. Also, I mediate here at DOE, as 17 

## well as for other federal agencies, and I've worked 18 

## at various offices within Department of Energy for 19 

## several different -- for several years. Thank you. 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: So and we're going to get to 21 

## scheduling of meetings later on today. One of the 22 

## reasons that you see three of us here is there won'tMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

### that to the extent that the committee schedule 3 

### conflicts with commitments that we have, that there's 4 

### some continuity amongst the facilitators, and so that 5 

### process goes smoothly, okay. Any questions before we 6 

### start moving into negotiated rulemaking? 7 

### (No response.) 8 

### MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So I'm not going to 9 

### go through all of these slides in detail. I think 10 

### people, at least on the Committee, have copies of the 11

### If we skip over something and you have a 13

### the committee meeting, feel free to approach us on a 16 

### break or outside of today's meeting as well. 17 

### But as Ashley was saying, you know, this 18

## This is a process where information can 8

## You know, occasionally people have tried 17

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Can I make one caveat?May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 28 1 

### MR. BOSWELL: Go ahead. 2 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: If there is data, if we do 3 

### get into the analysis portion and there is data for 4 

### which you want to share in a confidential manner, we 5 

### do have a way of doing that, so that we can then 6 

### include it in the analysis and go through that. So 7 

### if there is additional data or performance data that 8 

### you don't want to share formally on the record or 9 

### cost data, we can talk about that when we get to it. 10 

### MR. BOSWELL: There again, the caveat 11 

### there would be to make sure that before going into that 12 

### data, that there's been the discussion to make sure 13 

### that you're going to maintain the confidentiality 14 

### that you would want around that data. As -- 15 

### MALE PARTICIPANT: Did everyone hear that? 16 

### I just want to make sure of that, because that's really 17 

### important. If you're going mention anything that's 18 

### proprietary (off mic). 19 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: That's okay. I'll just 20 

### reiterate what he said. He said if anybody wants to 21 

### share confidential data, must make sure you come and 22 

### talk to me first before you disclose it here. WeMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 29 1 

## have ways to protect that, so thanks. 2 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. As Ashley mentioned 3 

## earlier, DOE has convened a number of these working 4 

## groups previously, and all of them to date, as I 5 

## understand it, have been successful in reaching a 6 

## consensus and making a recommendation. As I think 7 

## you also are aware, that the actual committee that 8 

## would be making the recommendation is ASRAC. 9 

## So that this kind of working group would 10 

## be reporting their recommendation to ASRAC, and it's 11 

## ASRAC that would then make a decision in terms of 12 

## proposing that. So with the negotiated rulemaking, 13 

## this augments but doesn't replace the normal agency 14 

## rulemaking process. This is all by statute. The 15 

## rule must still go through normal agency and 16 

## administrative review. 17 

## FEMALE PARTICIPANT: I'm just trying to 18 

## get a power strip in there, so people can have some 19 

## power for their computers. 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: So and if an agreement is 21 

## not reached by the working group, then the agency has 22 

## the right to and will proceed to make its own rule.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 30 1 

### (Pause.) 2 

### MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary for the 3 

### California IOUs. I'd just like to make the 4 

### observation for the group that access to power in 5 

### this working group is pretty much underground to 6 

### under table. 7 

### MR. BOSWELL: One of the -- 8 

### (Off mic comment.) 9 

### MR. BOSWELL: One of the things that I 10 

### should have asked in the beginning, of the people on the 11 

### Committee, how many of you have sat on other working 12 

### groups for DOE or perhaps other agencies? 13 

### (Show of thumbs.) 14 

### MR. BOSWELL: Probably less than a quarter 15 

### of the folks have participated in other proceedings. 16 

### So what we have behind me is simply the statutory 17 

### framework that explains how you all got into the 18 

### room, and the various statutes that affect what it is 19 

### that we can do and the -- any recommendations that 20 

### would go forward. 21 

### You know, this is being convened as a 22 

### negotiated rulemaking, and the Negotiated RulemakingMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 31 1 

## Act requires that there be a FACA committee that's 2 

## involved, and this is working group of ASRAC, which 3 

## is a FACA. You know, to the extent that there's a 4 

## recommendation through FACA, this gets published, and 5 

## I think we have some slides on the process. 6 

## So under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, it 7 

## defines the facilitator as a person who impartially 8 

## aids in the discussions and negotiations among 9 

## members of the negotiated rulemaking committee, to 10 

## develop a proposed rule. One of the things that I 11 

## just want to make sure that you're aware of, as 12 

## facilitators, any options or suggestions really come 13 

## from the committee members. 14 

## We're really prohibited from making 15 

## recommendations ourselves. We're basically trying to 16 

## make sure that, you know, we keep the discussion 17 

## moving amongst the committee members, that when 18 

## there's impasse, that we can help define what that 19 

## impasse is and to help people move towards consensus 20 

## realization, that they won't have to reach consensus. 21 

## The other thing that I just want to 22 

## highlight, and this comes up on several other slides,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 32 1 

## you know, we have the word here about our role is to 2 

## be impartial. You know, I do want to acknowledge, as 3 

## I have implicitly, several things today. We're 4 

## actually part of the Department of Energy in the 5 

## Office of Hearings and Appeals. 6 

## Notwithstanding the fact that we're part 7 

## of DOE, the hope and belief is that we will be 8 

## impartial, and that we'll be perceived that way. So 9 

## if at any point anyone has any concerns about that 10 

## piece, feel free to address those concerns directly, 11 

## because you know, our goal is to be impartial. You 12 

## also see, going into ground rules, that the 13 

## facilitator serve at the discretion of the working 14 

## group itself. 15 

## So if you have concerns about that, you 16 

## always have the right to fire us, okay. But 17 

## hopefully we can resolve those concerns without you 18 

## feeling the need to fire us. 19 

## (Off mic comments.) 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: Actually, it does. You 21 

## might want to think about that when we define 22 

## consensus, how easily you want to be able to fire us,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 33 1 

## okay. 2 

## MR. FINE: And in the interest of job 3 

## security, just think, who you might get instead of 4 

## us. 5 

## (Off mic comments.) 6 

## MR. BOSWELL: That sounds evaluative 7 

## enough. So again, this is really just talking about 8 

## under the negotiated rulemaking, what our role is. 9 

## We're again chairing the meetings, although DOE, 10 

## since it's their regulation, will often really be 11 

## leading most of the discussions. 12 

## We're also -- we have slides on this later 13 

## -- being available to work with people outside of the 14 

## meetings as well, to move things forward. You know, 15 

## the transcripts from this -- from these meetings will 16 

## be posted, as well as any other records that come out 17 

## of this. I believe DOE's office has a particular web 18 

## page for this particular rulemaking. 19 

## Again, our role is to help to guide the 20 

## discussions. We can also kind of serve as a coach, a 21 

## moderator. Our main point is to help clarify what 22 

## the issues are and what people's interests are. YouMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 34 1 

## know, options come from the group. We assist people 2 

## in trying to get to the point of proposing options. 3 

## We're also available to have private 4 

## discussions with either individual members or 5 

## subcommittees. You know, other things that we do is, 6 

## you know, we're kind of watching to see what the 7 

## dynamic might be in the room, and to try to make sure 8 

## that people don't get lost in the process or move 9 

## away from the process. 10 

## Here you have a very dramatic depiction of 11 

## somebody that looks like they're perhaps not liking 12 

## what they hear. That body language is really pretty 13 

## dramatic. Often, people aren't that explicit in 14 

## their body language. Part of what it is that we're 15 

## going to be looking for is body language that might 16 

## indicate that people are having concerns about what 17 

## it is they're hearing. 18 

## So you know, we will try to address that, 19 

## make sure concerns come in. Often people have body 20 

## language like that when they've stopped listening, 21 

## and they're thinking about the discussion they had 22 

## with their spouse last night. So you know, if IMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 35 1 

### start asking you questions, it could be that I'm seeing 2 

### body language that has nothing to do with the process 3 

### here, and we'll just kind of realize that we've had a 4 

### miscue there. 5 

### So as the neutrals, we're obligating 6 

### ourselves to provide a fair and impartial 7 

### problem-solving process, to address all the interests 8 

### that are involved. We're only going to know those 9 

### interests to the extent that they are expressed by 10 

### the people that are here at the table. 11 

### So in terms of the actual rulemaking, it's 12 

### the participants that are the key players here, and 13 

### there is a slide that talks about the obligation of 14 

### the participants, in terms of how they asked to be 15 

### part of this working group, that they've committed 16 

### themselves to a problem-solving approach. 17 

### Ashley, did you want to say anything about 18 

### that? No, okay. So again, the expectation is that 19 

### everyone is here in good faith trying to help reach 20 

### the goal of a term sheet that can turn into a DOE 21 

### rule. 22 

### MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. Maybe I willMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 36 1 

## say one thing. I think one of the things that we'd 2 

## like to emphasize, especially at the outset, and 3 

## something we've been trying to do more is that, you 4 

## know, we really are here to work together in good 5 

## faith and get to a solution. 6 

## So with that in mind, we're hoping that if 7 

## anyone wishes to vote no on something, that they will 8 

## at that point offer up an alternative solution for 9 

## consideration and discussion by the group, that we 10 

## don't have anyone on the committee that the answer is 11 

## just always no, without providing additional, you 12 

## know, an additional pathway for consideration kind of 13 

## thing. 14 

## MR. BOSWELL: So this is a schematic of 15 

## the way a negotiated rulemaking works, you know. 16 

## Ideally, we have all the committee at the table. 17 

## Here we have an extended table. 18 

## Normally, a rule would have committee 19 

## members, technical advisors off to the side, as well 20 

## as, you know, stakeholders who may be not represented 21 

## or not members of the committee, but physically 22 

## present in the audience or on the web, orMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 37 1 

## stakeholders that are just, you know, not 2 

## participating. 3 

## I guess one of the things that I wanted to 4 

## say is like right now we kind of randomly have four 5 

## people at the side table. To the extent that we stay 6 

## in this room and we can't find some way of getting 7 

## everyone physically at the table, I'd like to make 8 

## sure that, you know, you may see us changing tent 9 

## cards around to make sure that we get people flowing 10 

## at the table, and not that we always have the same 11 

## people off to the side. 12 

## So if you see us moving tent cards around, 13 

## some of that is to make sure that, you know, we're 14 

## kind of circulating who's at the main table as well. 15 

## I think it's going to be challenge for all of us to 16 

## make sure that we -- make sure that whoever's not at 17 

## the table is being brought into the discussions. 18 

## Obviously, there's a whole row that have their backs 19 

## to those people, so they're not really going to be 20 

## able to see them. 21 

## And, as I mentioned, if you're on the web 22 

## as a committee member, hopefully you'll have an openMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## mic, and you'll just need to signal that you want to 2 

## be heard, and then we'll call on you kind of in the 3 

## order of when the request has been made. 4 

## MS. KOHL: Hey Wade, before you leave that 5 

## slide, just a note on that little orange block. This 6 

## is Betsy Kohl, DOE OGC, about every member having a 7 

## veto. That's the default for what consensus is. But 8 

## part of what this working group will negotiate is 9 

## what consensus means. 10 

## So for example in a pumps negotiated 11 

## rulemaking, we had two no's could still be consensus 12 

## for the purposes of moving forward. So just keep 13 

## that in mind. 14 

## MR. BOSWELL: Right, and we're going to 15 

## get to -- when we start talking about ground rules, 16 

## I'm going to do the slides in a slightly different 17 

## order. We have a series of slides on consensus, so 18 

## that the group can decide what constitutes consensus. 19 

## As Becky was just saying, under the 20 

## Negotiated Rulemaking Act, the consensus means a 21 

## unanimous decision by the committee, or some smaller 22 

## number than unanimous, that the committee hasMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## So you know, the draft -- the ground rules 3 

## that were handed out, as an example, from last week's 4 

## new working group, which I know if you don't have 5 

## yet, you'll see there that they could have up to -- 6

## MR. BOSWELL: Exactly. 13 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So let's move quicker. 14

## Each working group has been different. So it's 11 

## really going to be up to us, and that's going to be 12 

## spelled out in the ground rules. 13 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay, and just one last 14 

## piece on this slide. Before we move forward, is one 15 

## of the things that I think we also cover under the 16 

## ground rules is who can speak. Normally, it's 17 

## committee members that can speak, and some of the 18 

## other working groups have agreed that committee 19 

## members could invite non-committee members to 20 

## actually make a comment during the committee 21 

## discussions. 22 

## That's something up to this group toMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## decide. The other thing that I did want to mention 2 

## though is since this is a public meeting, one of the 3 

## things that we will do is reserve the last half hour 4 

## for public comments, whether they be from people 5 

## participating, physically here, or if they want to 6 

## communicate comments via the webinar. So there will 7 

## be a period, as required under FACA, for public 8 

## comments. Okay, and that will be at the end. 9 

## Okay. We are going to talk more about 10 

## this as we go on, so just moving quickly, you know. 11 

## This -- we have the initial meeting here. We have 12 

## subsequent meetings that are going to be scheduled. 13 

## There will also be the potential for communication 14 

## between meetings, and the group could also form 15 

## subcommittees, either formally or informally, that 16 

## could meet between meetings. 17 

## So you know, there are just various ways 18 

## that this can take place. We often have a longer 19 

## lunch period, to allow people to informally have 20 

## discussions amongst themselves during that period of 21 

## time. We're having our first meeting now. We're 22 

## really kind of going through the overview. Ashley'sMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## given you some history. I think you're all aware of 2 

## that. 3 

## In terms of the negotiating protocol, just 4 

## kind of in the ground rules we'll go over attendance, 5 

## responsibilities, alternates, who has the right to 6 

## vote, things of that sort. So let's save that 7 

## discussion. 8 

## One concern is I noticed that we're still 9 

## missing at least one, maybe two committee members, 10 

## that we're not aware of their whereabouts. If you 11 

## know, we also need to talk about at some point if 12 

## someone finds that they're unable to participate, 13 

## perhaps actually withdrawing from the committee. 14 

## MS. WALTNER: I know Louis Starr is on the 15 

## webinar. I don't know if he's in your count of the 16 

## two that are missing but -- 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yes. So you can unmute him? 18 

## (Off mic comments.) 19 

## MR. FINE: Thank you. 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So we now actually 21 

## may have all our members accounted for. 22 

## (Pause.)May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MR. BOSWELL: So you know, one of the 2 

## things that we may do as the facilitators between 3 

## meetings, we may touch base with committee members. 4 

## We'll be helping to agenda distribute, develop and 5 

## distribute the agendas. If there's information that 6 

## needs to be sent to all the committee members, we'll 7 

## take care of making sure that that gets distributed. 8 

## Any required notices we'll distribute through our 9 

## offices. 10 

## The next slide on concluding negotiations. 11 

## I think let's kind of review this. Once we get to 12 

## the end product, it probably makes more sense to 13 

## discuss this. In the past, these working groups have 14 

## always sent out a report to ASRAC with consensus, 15 

## although there are other possibilities as well, which 16 

## we haven't gotten to yet. So let's move into ground 17 

## rules. 18 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So we can do this one of 19 

## two ways. It's kind of up to you how you want to do 20 

## it. We can walk through the ground rules and I can 21 

## get them up on the computer and start typing changes 22 

## as people make suggestions, so we have -- obviouslyMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 44 1 

## we need a record at the end of the day. 2 

## I don't know if you want to go through 3 

## these slides or just do it, kind of explain the 4 

## concepts that are on the slides as we move through 5 

## the ground rules themselves. 6 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yeah, and this is the one 7 

## thing I was going to do different. It has us kind of 8 

## going through the markup of the ground rules first, 9 

## and then it goes into the discussion about consensus. 10 

## I think it makes sense to talk about consensus, and 11 

## then do that step by step. 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Sure. Let me explain 13 

## consensus high level real quick, and I'll get the 14 

## ground rules up on the slides next. 15 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So as we talked about 16 

## under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, consensus 17 

## requires unanimity. In your ground rules, you can 18 

## decide that consensus is other than unanimity. As 19 

## part of that, implicit in that is the fact that, you 20 

## know, people will be voting at various times. 21 

## I want to make sure that everyone has had 22 

## a chance to be heard, and that the decision that'sMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 45 1 

## reached, although it might not be someone's first 2 

## choice, it's the decision I can actually live with. 3 

## Our role as facilitators is try to help people get 4 

## the point where they can support what's being agreed 5 

## to by the group as a whole, where it involves 6 

## considering interests. 7 

## The main thing to think about is under, 8 

## you know, with consensus is it can really come -- 9 

## there's a consensus ladder here that spells out five 10 

## steps. The way that we normally do this is we think 11 

## in terms of three steps. 12 

## So when we take votes, and for those of 13 

## you who have seen other committees or have been on 14 

## other committees, we generally just ask people would 15 

## you like a temperature check as the discussion's 16 

## going on, to see where people are, not a formal vote. 17 

## And you know, the general easiest thing 18 

## for people is if you're in agreement, to just kind of 19 

## hold a thumb up. That means you completely agree 20 

## it's acceptable. If it's something you can live with 21 

## or can live with without blocking it, it's more of a 22 

## thumbs sideways, and if it's something that you can'tMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 46 1 

## live with and would block, it's thumbs down. 2 

## So if we have thumbs up or thumbs 3 

## sideways, that's really agreement consensus. If we 4 

## see that have a lot of thumbs sideways, that is 5 

## probably a signal to us that more discussion needs to 6 

## take place. 7 

## As Ashley was saying, you know, if it's a 8 

## thumbs down, as part of being a committee member 9 

## here, you know, your responsibility and we'll ask 10 

## questions is to explain what your concern is, you 11 

## know, why is it a thumbs down and if it's a thumbs 12 

## down, not only what your concern is but the 13 

## expectation is that you'll suggest an alternative 14 

## that can be discussed. 15 

## So you know, when we talk about voting, 16 

## it's generally one of these three. Any questions 17 

## about that? 18 

## (No response.) 19 

## MR. BOSWELL: We've talked about 20 

## definitions and consensus, but I don't think we need 21 

## to go through all that. I think, unless there are 22 

## questions about consensus, we can actually just moveMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 47 1 

## back and start the discussion on the ground rules 2 

## themselves. 3 

## FEMALE PARTICIPANT: You wouldn't happen 4 

## to have a copy of the ground rules? 5 

## MR. BOSWELL: Oh, you know, we've not 6 

## handed them out. This is one where last time, and I 7 

## don't know if, you know, they took like short breaks 8 

## so that people could actually spend a couple of 9 

## minutes reading them. 10 

## (Off mic comment.) 11 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. So I'm going to make 12 

## sure everyone has a copy before you leave the room. 13 

## Why don't we take like a 10-15 minute break? People 14 

## can read through the ground rules during that period, 15 

## and then we'll come back and start talking about -- 16 

## and we'll probably start off talking about consensus, 17 

## since that's normally one of the more complicated 18 

## discussions. Then we'll go through the steps. 19 

## (Whereupon, a short recess was taken.) 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: So if we can come back. So 21 

## as I mentioned earlier, the ground rules that we 22 

## handed out were the ground rules that had beenMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 48 1 

## adopted by the working group that kicked off last 2 

## week, and so this was the final agreement on their 3 

## ground rules, and we're just using their ground rules 4 

## as a starting point. 5 

## That was a smaller committee. I think 6 

## that probably had like maybe 17 people on it, as 7 

## opposed to 25 people on it. So all their numbers 8 

## were based on what made sense for their committee. 9 

## So what I think makes sense, in order to 10 

## actually go through these, is to start with the 11 

## definition of consensus, which is paragraph 3(b) as 12 

## in Boy. And so this is again, just reiterating the 13 

## concept we've been talking about. The group will 14 

## offer it by consensus. The working group has defined 15 

## consensus as an agreement with less than however many 16 

## negative votes that the group might decide on. 17 

## If there are that many negative votes, 18 

## there is no consensus. Concurrence will be assumed 19 

## if there is an absence or an abstention, versus a 20 

## dissent, which would be evidenced by an actual 21 

## negative vote. Abstentions shall not be construed as 22 

## negative votes. So Ashley, in terms of thisMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 49 1 

## particular paragraph -- 2 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I think we need quorum 3 

## first, then we can do it. 4 

## MR. BOSWELL: So I guess -- 5 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We have a full working 6 

## group, so all 25 slots are taken. So it's 25 people 7 

## total to establish a quorum to be able to vote. Do 8 

## you guys have an opinion about how many people may 9 

## not be in attendance in order to establish quorum? 10 

## They did 12 of 17, just as an example. 11 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Ashley, this is Gary. I 12 

## suggest for starters that we consider 20 out of 25. 13 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. 14 

## MR. BOSWELL: And we'll go over this as we 15 

## go through here. In terms of the quorum, we're also 16 

## counting people that are participating by web, as 17 

## well as normally if people have designated 18 

## alternates, when the ground rules will be, will they 19 

## be voting. So when we're talking about quorum, that 20 

## number would normally include people on the web that 21 

## are members, as well as -- 22 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We've done it both ways.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 50 1 

## So it just depends if the working group decides that 2 

## people can vote by the web then. 3 

## MR. BOSWELL: Hold up your tent card so we 4 

## can see. 5 

## MR. BUBLITZ: This is Mark Bublitz of the 6 

## New York Blower Company. Can you provide any history 7 

## on previous working groups. Did they -- was there 8 

## regularly 12 or regularly five or six people absent, 9 

## or in general did just everyone show up? 10 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I would say so I've 11 

## probably been involved roughly in half of them, and 12 

## in my typical practice, almost everyone showed up, 13 

## and if they couldn't, they would send an alternate. 14 

## It was very rare that we had more than one or two 15 

## people missing, for whatever reason so -- 16 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary again. I 17 

## might also add that I was a voting member in the 18 

## group that developed this, and it had a very 19 

## compressed schedule. So I think there may be a 20 

## tendency to be a little more lenient with respect to 21 

## the expectation that everyone would show up. 22 

## MR. BOSWELL: So I'm hearing one proposal,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 51 1 

## I'm hearing one proposal for a quorum being 20 2 

## members. Are there other thoughts on a number, or do 3 

## we want to kind of do a temperature check on 20 as a 4 

## quorum? 5 

## MR. FINE: You can go higher or lower. 6 

## It's up to you. 7 

## MR. BOSWELL: Lower. 8 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: I think provided that 9 

## the quorum does include those on the web meeting, I 10 

## wouldn't have a problem with 20. 11 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. Why don't 12 

## we take that as a placeholder and move on to some of 13 

## the other issues that might affect our opinion about 14 

## quorum, and if we reach agreement on that, this may 15 

## come to an easy conclusion. 16 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We can always do a draft 17 

## of this, and everybody can think about it during 18 

## lunch before we actually vote after lunch, if people 19 

## want to talk about it a little. 20 

## MR. BOSWELL: And you know, as Ashley was 21 

## saying, groups can go either way in terms of who can 22 

## vote. The language here does talk about the quorum,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 52 1 

## including remote working group attendees. So if we 2 

## decide that's not the case, we just want to make sure 3 

## we go back and change this language too. 4 

## MS. WALTNER: Ashley, a couple other 5 

## thoughts. This is Meg. We might want to discuss the 6 

## schedule before finalizing quorum, because that will 7 

## give us some insight just as to how this group will 8 

## be, to schedule. And then, you know, I think the 12 9 

## out of 17 was based on around 75 percent, which would 10 

## put us down at 18. 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Yes. 12 

## MS. WALTNER: I personally don't have 13 

## concerns with the 20, but just put that out for the 14 

## group to know. 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Sounds good. So for 16 

## consensus, I'm just going to go ahead and move on. 17 

## For consensus, we've had varying differences of 18 

## opinion. We've had as few as two. I think we've had 19 

## as many as four. But it stays around the two, three, 20 

## four range negative votes, at least in the past like 21 

## six or so working groups that we have gone through. 22 

## I don't know if you all have any thoughts.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 53 1 

## This was three of the 17, so on a ratio basis, if 2 

## we're following suit, it would be a little more. But 3 

## it's totally up to the committee, in terms of how 4 

## many no votes you would entertain, but still move 5 

## forward with a consensus-based recommendation. 6 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary again. 7 

## The issue here is we don't want so few, that one 8 

## maverick can block the whole thing. On the other 9 

## hand, we don't want so many that a legitimate issue 10 

## can't be properly addressed. Being that we have 25 11 

## on the committee, I'd recommend four to block. 12 

## MR. BOSWELL: Laura. 13 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: This is Laura Petrillo 14 

## from AHRI. I would agree with that. 15 

## MR. BOSWELL: Other thoughts? 16 

## (No response.) 17 

## MR. SMITH: One of my concerns is the size 18 

## of this group. We all know that if you had three 19 

## guys getting together in a back room, you know, you 20 

## can work stuff out pretty quickly. So as the group 21 

## gets larger, the difficulty, you know, you get 22 

## time-compressed. There's a lot of opinions that areMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 54 1 

## expressed, and it's hard to come to conclusions. 2 

## So that would argue for more, rather than 3 

## fewer. If we take the ratio that was used by the 4 

## previous working group, that would say we should have 5 

## four and a half, I would argue for five, just in the 6 

## interest of trying to facilitate the challenges, you 7 

## know, overcome the challenges associated with the 8 

## size of the group. 9 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary again. I 10 

## don't disagree with that logic, but I make the 11 

## observation that for the advocates at the table, I 12 

## think there are only four of us. Louis is on the 13 

## phone. So if we go four and a half or five, that 14 

## would mean the advocates could not block, and I don't 15 

## think we want any interest group to be precluded from 16 

## being able to effectively negotiate in this group. 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Thoughts on that. 18 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Thoughts on four? Good 19 

## placeholder for now? Sure. 20 

## MR. HARTLEIN: I want to think about that 21 

## logic for a minute. 22 

## FEMALE PARTICIPANT: Please state yourMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## name. 2 

## MR. HARTLEIN: This is Dan Hartlein, I'm 3 

## sorry. The thought that pops into my head, and I 4 

## haven't really sorted this through, haven't been 5 

## through this process before, but that would also seem 6 

## to argue the opposite to me Gary, that a certain 7 

## interest shouldn't have the entire ability to block. 8 

## You should be able to sway somebody not in your 9 

## interest group to come with you to block. 10 

## It would seem to me that that would be an 11 

## effective way to represent consensus. I would 12 

## represent those numbers differently. 13 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. Okay so, 14 

## you know, I agree with you with respect to the way 15 

## industry may see things and come to the table. So 16 

## there are manufacturers, distributors, users of the 17 

## equipment, you know, a whole bunch of different 18 

## stakeholders represented. 19 

## But generally these efficiency 20 

## negotiations come down to a negotiation between the 21 

## environmental or efficiency advocates and everyone 22 

## else, with DOE being the decision-maker. So with theMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 56 1 

## advocates as a group being unable to block, it would 2 

## seem to me that we might just as well not even come 3 

## to the meeting. 4 

## You know, we have got to have the 5 

## capacity, if we can reach unanimity among ourselves, 6 

## to be able to take a position in this working group. 7 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Okay. I would say the 8 

## experience we've had to date, in working with the 9 

## consensus process that we were on, would represent 10 

## that there shouldn't be a problem for that group in 11 

## bringing us with you. 12 

## So again, I'm going to stick with a 13 

## recommendation of five at this point, for the reasons 14 

## that I've stated, and I don't know that we need to 15 

## debate it any further. But that's my -- would be my 16 

## recommendation. 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Other thoughts? Laura. 18 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: This is Laura 19 

## Petrillo-Groh from AHRI. I completely understand 20 

## where Gary is coming from, and remain supportive of 21 

## four. 22 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yes.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MR. HAUER: For four. Armin Hauer. 2 

## MR. BOSWELL: Mark. 3 

## MR. FLY: Mary Fly with AAON. I would 4 

## also vote for four. I think we have an unusual 5 

## amount of stakeholders represented, and subtleties 6 

## between some of the stakeholders, and I would hate to 7 

## see any group shut out if we got the number too 8 

## large. 9 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. Maybe just 10 

## one more comment. There's a strong, strong emphasis 11 

## in these working groups on collaborating and reaching 12 

## consensus, and I think we're going to be able to work 13 

## productively and come to a consensus, where it's 14 

## defined as four required to block. 15 

## That would require complete unanimity 16 

## among the advocates, and that's a high bar, because 17 

## we don't always have exactly the same perspective. 18 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I will note one thing, 19 

## just as you consider this discussion. Being on the 20 

## parent group, ASRAC, when these working group term 21 

## sheets are typically sent to ASRAC, the questions 22 

## that ASRAC typically asks are, you know, what wereMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 58 1 

## the votes for each of the items in the term sheet, 2 

## and if it wasn't unanimous, that word, then they ask 3 

## why. 4 

## Like what was the actual vote count, and 5 

## for those that voted no, what was their reason. So 6 

## they typically want to know why. So being that in 7 

## and of itself usually makes people acknowledge why 8 

## they didn't vote no, and sometimes that changes how 9 

## people vote as well. 10 

## So it could be something that we want to 11 

## think about, you know. Let's go through perhaps the 12 

## rest of the ground rules without officially voting on 13 

## them, so we can't get -- until we decide what 14 

## consensus is. 15 

## But perhaps we can work through -- I'll 16 

## start back up at the top -- work through all of the 17 

## details of the ground rules, and then when we break 18 

## for lunch, you guys can caucus and talk about it, and 19 

## we can come back and make some tweaks and maybe get a 20 

## ground rule sheet after lunch. Would that work? 21 

## Somewhere between four or five. 22

## MR. BOSWELL: So Ashley, did you want to 20

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Yeah. I'm typing as we 22

## charter that ASRAC gave you guys in terms of the 3 

## task, and then we can obviously tweak that as you 4 

## might wish. 5 

## (Pause, off mic comments.) 6 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I guess I could have done 7 

## this last night. I apologize. So does anyone have 8 

## anything to add before I start copying and pasting 9 

## the same phrase over and over again? ASRAC asked you 10 

## guys to at least entertain certain definitions, 11 

## certain test procedure provisions as applicable or 12 

## as, you know, that are important to the committee to 13 

## discuss. 14 

## Obviously not the full details of all -- 15 

## how the test procedure would be implemented, and then 16 

## propose standards, and obviously along with that 17 

## would be the scope of those standards. 18 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary again. 19 

## Ashley, one dimension of this that I think we talked 20 

## about in our preceding meetings was the manner in 21 

## which performance might be specified or reported, 22 

## relative to the metric and test procedure.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 61 1 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So you're talking about 2 

## like representation, certification labeling? 3 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Well maybe some of the 4 

## rest of you from the fan industry can help me out. 5 

## But we talked about how in order to have some 6 

## influence over the way fans are specified, we were 7 

## going to limit the range of operation, which is 8 

## reported such that inefficient, very inefficient 9 

## operation on one end or the other end of the range 10 

## would not be specified and reported, and we hope that 11 

## would discourage application of fans in those very 12 

## inefficient ranges. 13 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I think that's what you 14 

## need, what I just wrote on the board. 15 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay, thank you. 16 

## MR. FINE: There's another comment. 17 

## MR. FLY: Mark Fly from AAON. I think one 18 

## of the really important things that we've got to 19 

## discuss is the scope of the products being covered by 20 

## this rule because, you know, are we complying -- you 21 

## know, are we including fans in your laptop or are we 22 

## improving, you know, tunnel ventilation fans. IMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## think scope is one of the things that needs to be 2 

## added to the definitions. 3 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So what I have here is 4 

## certain definitions, certain test procedure 5 

## provisions as applicable, proposed energy 6 

## conservation standards, including the scope of the 7 

## standards, and specific certification and labeling 8 

## provisions as necessary to implement the regulatory 9 

## approach. 10 

## MR. HARTLEIN: I would assume that -- 11 

## MR. BOSWELL: Identify yourself please. 12 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Dan Hartlein, Twin City 13 

## Fan. I'm assuming that scope would also then include 14 

## exemptions; correct? 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Correct. 16 

## MR. HARTLEIN: That does need to be 17 

## mentioned. 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yes. 19 

## MR. ROY: Aniruddh Roy, Goodman. I would 20 

## recommend that scope be added to -- be removed from 21 

## the parenthesis and be added in the first change. So 22 

## before certain definitions, it would say "toMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## negotiate, scope, certain definitions, certain test 2 

## procedure" and so on. 3 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So we can certainly do 4 

## that. I don't have an opinion on that, although the 5 

## way it works in the DOE regulatory world is that DOE 6 

## will consider a definition which is going to be DOE's 7 

## scope of coverage or DOE's authority, the ability for 8 

## it to set standards for any type of product needing 9 

## -- any category of products that meet, ultimately 10 

## meet that definition. 11 

## When you're negotiating standards, like 12 

## for example in pumps, they took a subset of that 13 

## products meeting that definition, to ultimately set 14 

## standards for it. That's what we call the scope of 15 

## the standards. The scope will be different than the 16 

## definition. 17 

## So I think this covers it. I don't have 18 

## an opinion about calling out scope. It's not a hard 19 

## line for me. But when it gets implemented, this is 20 

## exactly what it will be, definitions and then the 21 

## applicability of those standards, which can have a 22 

## different or the same scope.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MR. FERNSTROM: So Ashley, this is Gary. 2 

## To perhaps avoid the confusion of using the term 3 

## "scope" twice, once to mean the scope of regulated 4 

## products and the other to mean the scope of products 5 

## for which DOE has the authority to regulate, can we 6 

## use the term "class of products" to mean those things 7 

## that DOE has the authority to regulate, and then the 8 

## scope of the regulation would be those things that 9 

## DOE actually chooses to regulate within that class of 10 

## potentially regulated products? 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I think you're probably 12 

## closer with reversing your terms. 13 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Okay. 14 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: But you know, if I use 15 

## definitions versus scope, is that -- that's a hangup 16 

## to you guys. That's fine. 17 

## MR. FERNSTROM: It doesn't bother me which 18 

## -- it doesn't matter to me which terms goes where, 19 

## but I find it confusing to use the term scope twice, 20 

## because it's confusing. So we should use one term to 21 

## mean the products that DOE has the authority to 22 

## regulate, and another term to mean the products thatMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MS. ARMSTRONG: You got any suggestions? 4 

## MS. KOHL: Well, this is Betsy Kohl, DOE 5 

## GC. It's the second part that the working group is 6 

## really going to focus on, which fans are we going to 7 

## set standards for. That's the focus of this working 8 

## group, not DOE's broad authority. 9 

## MR. FERNSTROM: But Betsy, this is Gary 10 

## again. But doesn't DOE make an interpretation of 11 

## what the extent of its broad authority is, and we 12 

## want to be clear about that? 13 

## MS. KOHL: Yes, Betsy, DOE GC. But so -- 14 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: How about we'll get to 15 

## that? 16 

## MS. KOHL: Yeah. 17 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We are going to define a 18 

## fan as part of that. I know there's going to some 19

## MR. FERNSTROM: Thank you. I understand 3 

## that you wanted to leave the definition broad. I was 4 

## just searching for a term that related to what that 5

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Is that clear? 7

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 67 1 

## (Pause.) 2 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So we have three months 3 

## from ASRAC. So that would bring us to, given I guess 4 

## August 6th. I'm not sure what day of the week that 5 

## is, but I can look that up. And so at that time, we 6 

## are required to pass along final terms, a final term 7 

## sheet if we have one, or request from ASRAC more 8 

## time. 9 

## So do you want me to note that we also may 10 

## ask for more time after the three months, or do we 11 

## want to be go-getters and leave ourselves with a 12 

## deadline of August 6th for now? 13 

## MR. SMILEY: Yeah. This is Bill Smiley, 14 

## Trane. What's the significance of three months? Did 15 

## somebody just pull that out of the air, or somebody 16 

## have a performance review coming up then, or what is 17

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I don't have a performance 19

## time table, you're required to check in, ask for more 4 

## time if it's needed. 5 

## In the event that it's -- more time is 6 

## asked for, ASRAC has always granted it in the past, 7 

## especially when they've authorized it up front. So 8 

## here they said, you know, you guys may need a couple 9

## though at the three month. 11 

## We need to make sure you're still making 12

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Uh-huh. 4 

## MR. BOSWELL: So the question -- 5 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So if I add a note and say 6 

## note, if the working group has not been able to reach 7 

## consensus on a final term sheet by the date, they may 8 

## also request additional time and give ASRAC a status 9 

## report by that date. Is that sufficient? Okay. 10 

## I'll fill it in later. 11 

## MR. BOSWELL: Any comments on that? Okay. 12

## MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. Moving right 15

## everyone around the table, all 25 of you, have been 17 

## appointed by DOE through ASRAC, to serve on the 18 

## working group. Only you may serve, so these 19

## option to reappoint someone. So I think what's 4 

## important here is the alternate discussion. So I'm 5 

## just going to ask a couple of questions. 6 

## Do we all agree that everyone should be 7 

## able to have one alternate, that can come in his or 8 

## her place? Yes. Do we all agree that that alternate 9 

## should have the ability to vote on behalf of that 10 

## interest? Do we all agree that that alternate or the 11 

## working group member should be able to vote by 12 

## webinar? Did I miss anything? I don't think so. 13 

## MR. FINE: Just for the record. 14 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: That was a yes to all 15

## MR. FINE: Yes. 18 

## MR. SMITH: That's the wrong card. 19

## MR. FINE: One time I've heard that on 3 

## some occasions, there have been weather issues, and 4 

## there was at least one committee that -- in which a 5 

## number of people couldn't show up. They were stuck 6 

## at O'Hare or something like that. 7 

## MR. SMITH: Right. The way this is 8 

## worded, it says you can vote remote if there's 9 

## extenuating circumstances. My response -- 10 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Where are you? What 11 

## section are you on? You're ahead of me. 12 

## MR. SMITH: It's Proxy Voting. 13 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Well Wade, this is Gary. 14 

## The caveat was that if you're in your office or at 15 

## home and participating by webinar, you're in effect 16 

## attending the meeting, and of course you can vote. 17 

## (Off mic comment.) 18 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Remote, well remote voting 19 

## was intended to mean if you're not connected by the 20

## MS. ARMSTRONG: The way I look at is, and 2 

## it's a little bit different. You actually have to 3 

## declare who your alternate is, and it's you or that 4 

## alternate person right at the outset will pick a date 5 

## for that. But you need to tell the mediator and DOE 6

## MR. BOSWELL: I think probably -- 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: If the two of you are not 12

## MR. BOSWELL: I think that the concern 14 

## there is that anyone that's actually voting should 15 

## have participated in the discussion in some way, and 16

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. You know, 3 

## while I respect your all capability to utilize your 4

## So I don't believe the committee as a 10

## the whim of any individual who may not act 2 

## responsibly. When it comes to you, the appointed 3 

## member, I have confidence that you, when you are 4 

## here, will act responsibility, responsibly, because 5

## But in a pinch, you know, we might get 8

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Can I actually -- oh 13 

## sorry. 14 

## MR. BOSWELL: Sorry. All I was going to 15 

## say is I'm hearing proxy being used in two different 16 

## ways, and one is proxies being used in the generic, 17 

## that one can designate any individual to serve as a 18 

## proxy and vote. The other way that I was hearing it 19 

## raised initially was that one could give a proxy to 20 

## another committee member that happened to be present 21 

## for the discussions, so that that committee member 22 

## that held the proxy could then vote their own voteMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## and another committee member. 2 

## So I'm hearing these two different themes, 3 

## and I just want to make sure that people are focusing 4 

## on those layers of the discussion. 5 

## MR. FINE: There's another version of 6 

## proxy I was hearing. I was hearing before the actual 7 

## meeting, you tell somebody else on the committee or 8 

## something here's how I'm going to vote on that issue, 9 

## and then, you know, which would essentially deprive 10 

## the committee of a chance to change that person's 11 

## mind or that interest's mind. 12 

## So I heard -- I hear people talking 13 

## different. I'm concerned, like Wade was, that people 14 

## are talking about proxy, but people are talking about 15 

## different things. 16 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I do want to make one 17 

## clarification, right. It's clear here that 18 

## alternates should be designated by your member 19 

## organization. So if you are going to delegate an 20 

## alternate, that alternate has to be from your 21 

## organization. A written proxy, pending our 22 

## discussion, I have one concern though.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 83 1 

## Proxy voting is not permitted, depending 2 

## on where we fall, and then maybe I should put i.e. 3 

## instead of e.g., a member is allowed to delegate his 4 

## vote, his or her vote to another committee member, 5 

## working group members, to vote by proxy on the 6 

## member's behalf. 7 

## The only concern I have with that is I 8 

## think it should be limited to a certain number of 9 

## instances. In other words, I don't think you should 10

## you know, that's like I don't want to come, but Wade, 12 

## I think you want to come, so Wade, you're always 13 

## going to get to vote for DOE. 14 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: To Ashley's point and 15 

## Mike's point as well, I think that limiting the proxy 16 

## vote to a specific issue might help, or a specific 17 

## number of times. 18 

## But I think as it was used in the pumps 19 

## rulemaking, there was a specific issue and you had to 20 

## maybe get on a plane, and you were not able to be 21 

## part of the vote, you had a vote. You aligned well 22

## cast your vote for you, but only on that specific 2 

## issue. 3 

## When the discussion moved on to something 4 

## that you were not a part of, you know, the proxy 5 

## ended at that point. 6 

## MR. BOSWELL: And Mike, I think I saw you 7 

## first. 8 

## MR. WOLF: It's Mike Wolf. I'm not sure I 9 

## have a passion one way or the other. The only point 10 

## of order on my question is depending on how we land 11 

## on this, does that proxy vote -- voter then, how does 12 

## that count against the quorum? 13 

## MR. WIGGINS: Steve Wiggins. The other 14 

## concern I've got is if we don't limit and we're not 15 

## careful, we can end up with a super-vote by an 16 

## individual who can block every single action of the 17 

## committee, and that one individual control the 18 

## committee. So if I get three other proxy votes and I 19 

## now have four, you can't do anything that I don't 20 

## want you to do. I can ruin the whole committee. 21 

## So I think if we do allow proxies, we need 22 

## to limit to only one proxy vote per committee member,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## so the most you could have would be two votes. 2 

## (Off mic comment.) 3 

## MR. WIGGINS: You'd better believe it. I 4 

## used to work for DoD. Been there, done this. 5 

## MR. BOSWELL: Wade. 6 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. Gary, the 7 

## misunderstanding perhaps is that my interpretation of 8 

## what proxy meant is what was written here, which is 9 

## that a committee member can designate their vote to 10 

## another committee member. So I think your concern 11 

## with regard to that issue, of having just somebody 12 

## who doesn't know, would be dealt with. 13 

## And I agree with what Steve said as well 14 

## actually. I think that there are -- I'm fine with 15 

## some limits on it, but I think that we have to trust, 16 

## in my opinion, the committee members to discharge 17 

## their voting rights with some flexibility. 18 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. So okay 19 

## Steve, you and the others have brought to the table a 20 

## new dimension to this that I hadn't quite thought of. 21 

## So I'm a little more flexible. Thank you. 22

## not sure I understand what the problem is that we're 2 

## trying to address with proxy voting. I guess one 3 

## thing I would clarify is, you know, if you can't be 4

## You know, it's not recorded as a no vote 7

## MR. BOSWELL: Wade. 13 

## MR. SMITH: This is Wade. I think that's 14 

## good that we have a lot of options. I guess maybe I 15 

## am a victim of my own experience, which is running 16 

## association meetings and committees and votes, and 17

## that seems -- that's a common practice in our group, 2 

## and you know, we've got -- to answer Mike Wolf's 3 

## question, when someone carries a proxy in our 4 

## meetings, that counts toward quorum, and I just think 5 

## it creates a little bit more fluidity. 6 

## You know, we're going to get around to 7

## when we're trying to build consensus, these votes 9

## for a plumbing company, sorry. 16 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. Let's see if I can 17 

## strike a deal with my wording here. Proxy voting is 18 

## permitted. That is, a member is allowed to delegate 19

## MR. FINE: Is that two times at a meeting 7 

## or two times over the -- 8 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Over the course, total. 9 

## MR. BOSWELL: I think the question is two 10 

## votes or two meetings. 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Meetings. I don't think 12 

## you can parse all the issues we may vote on for a 13 

## particular day at the outset. I think that's going 14 

## to be nearly impossible. We've had a term sheet that 15

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. 19 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I modified quorum. 20

## that the working group member was aware of and had 3 

## participated in conversations on, and not just a 4 

## blind proxy. So less of a restriction on the number 5 

## of times, and more a restriction based on issue. So 6 

## that's my personal opinion, and this is Laura. 7 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So this is Ashley. I 8 

## don't necessarily disagree with that in theory, 9 

## although from a practical, administrative standpoint, 10 

## being in these negotiations, it's going to be really 11 

## hard to do that, just because sometimes issues come 12

## they're not new. I don't know. 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: And the question that I 19 

## would ask as the facilitator is that it sounds like 20 

## the proposal that there be a limitation within the 21

## So we can do that. We just want to clear 3 

## that we understand the mechanics that would be 4 

## getting involved. 5 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: That would be difficult 6 

## because -- 7 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: So for what you have 8

## MR. SMILEY: Yeah. This is Bill Smiley, 9

## originally, where only under extenuating 16 

## circumstances agreed to by the committee at the time 17 

## that they occur, can voting be done any other way 18

## MR. BOSWELL: It's on the slide. 9 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So we'll start an email 10

## that's okay, keep moving along Ashley? 14 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Yes. 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So we talked about 16 

## consensus. We're still talking -- we're still 17 

## thinking four or five. So let's talk about subgroups 18 

## for a minute. The idea behind subgroups is that you 19 

## can break into many groups from the larger working 20 

## group, to tackle certain specific issues. 21 

## The only thing that matters here is that 22 

## A, do we all agree that subgroups should be allowed?May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 99 1 

## In other words, you can form subgroups. Subgroups 2 

## are allowed to discuss particular issues. I do 3 

## believe they're required to come back and brief the 4 

## actual working group, and the subgroups may not in 5 

## and of themselves vote. 6 

## So you can work, you can tackle, you can 7 

## try to come up with a solution to propose to the full 8 

## working group. But ultimately the full working group 9 

## has to vote on it. So do we all agree on the idea 10 

## behind subgroups? Yes, and do we think that 11 

## subgroups should be limited in the number of people 12 

## that can be part of them? No, just leave them 13 

## open-ended. 14 

## So if the working group wants to be 15 

## subgroup, it could be? I mean then it's unnecessary 16 

## to have. 17 

## (Off mic comment.) 18 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I understand if you don't 19 

## want to meet with me. I get it. It's not a personal 20

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Ashley, what was the 4 

## working group's thinking -- what was the ULE working 5 

## group's thinking behind 15 people? 6 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I think they thought that 7 

## if you're going to have a subgroup, that it needs -- 8 

## usually you form subgroups because the working group 9 

## in and of itself, with the large committee, can't 10 

## actually come to an agreement or come to ideas. 11 

## It needed to be small enough that it's 12 

## manageable, so that people could actually have a 13 

## fruitful discussion and come up with a potential 14 

## solution for the working group. So that would be my 15 

## guess. I wasn't actually at the discussion, but 16 

## that's what we've done previously, kind of made them 17

## Sometimes we break out in multiple 19

## MR. BOSWELL: Sorry, Wade. 13

## I didn't mean the term "glitches" negatively, you 4

## It's just they created some loose ends that might 6 

## have merited tying down a little bit. 7 

## MS. KOHL: So this is Betsy Kohl, DOE GC. 8 

## I think there's two issues going on here. One is a 9 

## legal issue that we -- in our general rulemaking 10 

## process, do not let certain segments of the public 11 

## see a proposed rule before it's issued. Obviously, 12 

## that's inappropriate. 13 

## You may be in a different position, 14 

## because you're the committee that developed the rule. 15 

## That I need to check into. But from a process 16

## We take comment and, you know, consider those 3

## interesting -- this Laura Petrillo-Groh from AHRI. 10 

## You bring up an interesting point. Is voting no on a 11 

## specific provision what we're after, or is voting no 12 

## on the final agreement? 13 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: That's a good question. 14 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: I think the way it's 15 

## written up there, it's final agreement. 16 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Yes. 17 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: So those who don't 18 

## agree with a specific provision in the agreement, 19 

## still can't comment negatively on it, on the overall 20 

## agreement. 21 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: You voted for the term 22 

## sheet.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Ultimately you vote 2 

## for the term sheet. Okay. Just wanted to clarify. 3 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I mean the next two 4 

## lines follow with no adverse action in support and no 5 

## challenge. No challenge is the court part of it. No 6 

## adverse means you agree not to take any action to 7 

## inhibit the adoption of this, whether that be through 8 

## other mechanisms or otherwise. 9 

## This is fairly standard language for most 10 

## of our negotiating committees. That's one of the 11 

## things. I think that you're seeing the things that 12 

## benefit, really benefit DOE from -- to getting 13 

## parties at the table and negotiating these, so that 14 

## they can go through smoothly. 15 

## Five, a facilitator. This just basically 16 

## says if Wade does a good job, we'll keep him. If 17 

## Wade doesn't do a good job, then you know -- 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: Then I do my other work. 19 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We're sending him back to 20 

## OHA. 21 

## MR. SMITH: This is Wade Smith. Let the 22 

## record show that she means Wade at the farther end ofMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## the table. 2 

## (Laughter.) 3 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So meetings. We're going 4 

## to conduct them as we are required to by law, under 5 

## all those appropriate things. Negotiation sessions 6 

## will be announced in the Federal Register prior to 7 

## the meeting, and it will always be open to the 8 

## public. So this is a question for you guys to 9 

## consider. We've had -- we are going to post 10 

## transcripts. We've had other committees say, well 11 

## you know, we'd like to see a Cliff Notes outline of 12 

## what happened in the meeting or at least what topics. 13 

## Sometimes that may take the form of me 14 

## standing up here typing as we go along. But it's 15 

## kind of like our working drafts of things. They 16 

## would like -- the committee would like those 17 

## available to them, because sometimes the transcript 18 

## takes a little while. So it may not be available, 19 

## you know, before the next meeting, just depending on 20 

## how close we set those meeting schedules. 21 

## So is that something that this working 22 

## group would be interested in, that at the end of eachMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## meeting, you would have either, you know, within a 2 

## couple of days you would have some type of summary, 3 

## whether it be the PowerPoint is enough. We use for 4 

## discussion purposes or some type of outline of what 5 

## we discussed and kind of the high level topics that 6 

## will be discussed for the next meeting, just so you 7 

## can kind of know where we are. 8 

## MR. BOSWELL: Laura. 9 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Laura Petrillo-Groh, 10 

## AHRI. I thought DOE and DOE contractors did a great 11 

## job of providing edited versions of the PowerPoint 12 

## after each of the pumps rulemaking, and it was very 13 

## important to keeping the progress on that committee 14 

## moving forward. 15 

## I would request that that be made 16 

## available, the general outline could be -- doesn't 17 

## have to be the edited slides, but showing what 18 

## directions the committee took, considered taking and 19 

## important points of discussion within 48 hours of the 20

## it's the PowerPoint or some condensed Word document, 2 

## I would find a summary very helpful, because I wind 3 

## up writing one at the end of each meeting anyway. I 4 

## wouldn't be surprised if any of the rest of us do. 5 

## If you were to do it, it would make it a lot easier 6 

## for all the rest of us. 7 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. I think that will 8 

## take care of it. 48 hours seems reasonable. 9 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. I have a question of 10 

## Ashley. Since you're talking about 48 hours, are you 11 

## talking about business days really because -- 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I put this in days. Do 13 

## you want me to put "business days"? 14 

## MR. BOSWELL: I'm concerned about a 15 

## meeting ending on Friday. 16 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I got it. 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: So let's talk about -- so 18 

## we've gotten through the ground rules. Yeah, 19 

## congratulations. Good job. We have at least a rough 20 

## version of the ground rules. Do you want to talk 21 

## about schedule before we break for lunch, because 22 

## it's only 11:45? Or do you want to, you know, take aMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## break and caucus about these ground rules, since we 2 

## have a couple of lingering issues? What exactly 3 

## would you like to do now? 4 

## VOICES: The scheduling. 5 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. I did that. I'll 6 

## explain what I did. Okay. So potential proposed 7 

## schedule, and obviously these dates are subject to 8 

## discussion. We did have a request from some of the 9 

## commercial HVAC manufacturers. They're also 10 

## negotiating at the same time, and they've set their 11 

## schedule. 12 

## They've asked that to the extent that June 13 

## dates could be harmonized, either you know, before or 14 

## after those meetings, that those manufacturers that 15 

## are participating in both would appreciate it, 16 

## because then they could just extend their stay to a 17 

## four-day stay in D.C. 18 

## So where you see the two June dates, 19 

## that's what I've done. 11th and 12th piggybacks on 20 

## their meetings, as does the 25th and 26th. I will 21 

## get some available dates here in a second. But can 22

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: This was the ULE 3 

## schedule? 4 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Well, I'm about to be told 5 

## it wasn't. But John told me it was. 6 

## MS. WALTNER: This is Meg Waltner from 7 

## NRDC. As I'm also on that committee, I second the 8 

## desire to align the dates if possible. But our last 9 

## date, that meeting is -- 10 

## (Off mic comment.) 11 

## MS. WALTNER: By June 15th. So I don't 12 

## know why the -- 13 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: This is the potential 14

## MS. WALTNER: The 25th and 26th doesn't 16

## MS. MAUER: And this is Joanna. This 18 

## issue may only apply to me, but I'm on a different 19 

## working groups where we've scheduled meetings for 20 

## June 11th and 12th for Miscellaneous Refrigeration. 21 

## I don't know if that's also an issue for DOE or not. 22

## dates. So I think we need a May one. I don't think 2 

## we want to wait until June 11th. We may need either 3 

## one set of May ones or an early June one, a May one 4 

## and a June one. It's really up to you guys how you 5 

## want to do this, or when you want to come together 6 

## next. 7 

## To your point, the only way to piggyback 8 

## off that ULE is to do 11th and 12th for us. So I 9 

## don't know how we want to handle that. Let's with 10 

## May first. When do you guys actually want to meet 11 

## again? Is two weeks good? Okay. Let me pull up 12 

## DOE's rooms. 13 

## MR. HARTLEIN: A quick question to this 14 

## schedule. This is Dan Hartlein. Is it always a 15 

## two-day session or can it be extended, because of 16 

## travel costs and the difficulty of getting here. 17 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: We can do it however you 18 

## want. We can do one day, we can do two day, we can 19 

## do three day, we can do two months. However you'd 20 

## like to spend your time, it's really up to you guys. 21 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Well, two months is a 22 

## little long.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 125 1 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary. A 2 

## thought on that. One day probably isn't the most 3 

## productive. Two days give us a good shot at it. 4 

## Three days, at least I get to be pretty tired by the 5 

## third day. So that's why we like -- 6 

## (Off mic comments.) 7 

## (Laughter.) 8 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Very good Wade. 9 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I will say one caveat with 10 

## three day meetings. If you need DOE to rerun 11 

## analyses in between meetings, you might want to give 12 

## us some time. So if you're asking us to completely 13 

## revise the LCC or the shipments analysis because you 14 

## want to see what your new assumptions or impacts are, 15 

## Sanaee is lovely, but she probably wants more than 12 16 

## hours overnight to do it. 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Meg, did you still have a 18 

## comment? Okay. Mark. 19 

## MR. FLY: Yes. Part of it is also 20 

## depending on what time we break up on the second day. 21 

## Some of us it takes, you know, I can't be here before 22 

## noon, and if I don't leave this building by threeMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## o'clock, I can't get home that night. 2 

## So a lot of us are traveling. I know at 3 

## the first rulemaking that I was involved with, we a 4 

## lot of times broke at three o'clock in the afternoon, 5 

## and then a lot of people could get home that evening. 6 

## Which turns it from a three day out of the office -- 7 

## I mean to a three day instead of a four day out of 8 

## the office trip. 9 

## MR. BOSWELL: Gary. 10 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So -- 11 

## MR. BOSWELL: Bill. 12 

## MR. SMILEY: Bill Smiley, Trane. If you 13 

## can't get here before noon, can everybody get here 14 

## before noon, so you don't have to come in the day 15 

## before. We could start a meeting like after lunch, 16 

## and then go all the next day and then go the morning 17 

## of the third day, and then you only blow three whole 18 

## days away from work rather than four. 19 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Yeah, I like that a 20

## MR. SMILEY: Well but you have to come in 3 

## the day before on the plane. 4 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Yeah. I have to come in 5 

## the day before. So I, you know, I could equally well 6 

## start at nine or noon it doesn't matter. But I still 7 

## have to come in the day before. 8 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. So I heard the 9 

## week of the 18th mentioned for our next get-together. 10 

## What do you guys think about the 18th and 19th? 18th 11 

## is a Monday. 12 

## Do we think Mondays are -- do people 13 

## really want to travel on Sundays, or do we want to do 14 

## 19th and 20th? The following weekend is Memorial 15 

## Day, so if anyone has plans for Memorial Day, I will 16 

## acknowledge that Memorial Day is the 25th. 17 

## MS. WALNHER: So the commercial AC meeting 18 

## is the 20th and 21st. So my preference would be for 19 

## the 18th and 19th personally. 20

## I've got a committee meeting the afternoon of the 2 

## 19th. If we're going to break at noon the second 3 

## day, I could do that, because it's right there. 4 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. So what I'm hearing 5 

## is how about 18th starting at nine, and the 19th 6 

## maybe either ending at noon or ending a little later, 7 

## even if he misses like an hour of it or two? 8 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: We'll take care of you, 9

## MR. WIGGINS: That's what I'm afraid of. 11

## not available that week. 15 

## MR. SMITH: Ashley, we have an AMCA 16

## it's at 11:00 a.m. Central Time. So I kind of -- 18 

## it's -- 19 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So you're asking me -- 20 

## MR. SMITH: We would have to change it. 21 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Reserve a conference room 22

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 129 1 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. We would move it, 2 

## because I mean if it's in here. But I mean if it 3 

## would be possible to start -- well, I didn't -- I 4 

## wasn't listening very carefully to what everybody 5 

## else said. I know you've got some other activities, 6

## something you should state. If we need -- we'll 5

## MR. SMITH: That's a good idea. 9 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: What about June 11th and 10 

## 12th. Who can't make June 11th and 12th? Oh, do you 11

## MR. BOSWELL: Bill. 11 

## MR. SMILEY: Yeah, this is Bill Smiley. I 12

## the original wording that was in here is what we 14 

## should go with, the proxy voting is not permitted 15 

## unless there's some extenuating situation that the 16

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Does anybody else want to 18

## MS. JAKOBS: This is Diane Jakobs. I 20

## much for the proxy voting, so that a committee member 15 

## could take my proxy, because the other way around, if 16

## MR. SMITH: In our governance at AMCA, 5

## I think not having proxy voting except under really 10

## MR. BOSWELL: Do you have some alternate 5

## MS. KOHL: Proxy voting is not permitted, 7

## So that if people -- because ultimately, I 7

## that people are advocating. Wade. 16 

## MR. SMITH: Okay. So the argument that we 17 

## make for proxy is a protection for the influence of 18

## Gary Fernstrom talked about the fact that there's 20

## So in a sense the argument that we're 4

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. So for my 11

## actually getting to the substance of the rule. Okay 3 

## so -- 4 

## MR. HARTLEIN: I just want to draw a point 5 

## we made earlier again, and that is that we likely as 6 

## a company will have two people in this room during 7 

## this entire process. The small companies in this 8 

## room, not having a proxy, just putting a specific 9 

## burden on the small company. It's not a large 10 

## company issue -- 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Why? They can call in at 12 

## any time. 13 

## MR. HARTLEIN: The demands of running a 14 

## business when there are four people running that 15 

## business as far less flexible -- 16 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Then I think that gets to 17 

## the question about why are you on this committee. 18 

## MR. HARTLEIN: We don't -- 85 percent of 19 

## our industry is represented by small companies. I 20 

## would think the DOE would want to embrace that. I'm 21

## MS. KOHL: We do. We don't -- sorry, this 2 

## is Betsy Kohl, DOE GC. We don't mean to -- in saying 3 

## that maybe another small business who might have a 4 

## few more people to participate might be a better fit, 5 

## we're not meaning to malign anybody who's got 6 

## business constraints as far as participation. 7 

## But I mean the committee needs to 8 

## function. So you know, if there's another small 9 

## business out there who might be a better fit, as 10 

## Ashley said, that's not any kind of slight. It's 11 

## just to try and get the functioning of the committee 12 

## and maintain the integrity of the process. That's 13 

## what we're trying to do. 14 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I mean it's hard -- 15 

## MR. SMITH: So this is especially 16 

## burdensome on small businesses, because they don't 17 

## have the personnel. They don't have the operating 18 

## budget, and they don't live in Washington, D.C., and 19 

## all of that is an extra burden. The accommodation to 20 

## that is to -- for them to provide an alternate. 21 

## But in the next sentence, it's an alternate from 22 

## their company.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## If it were an alternate from a 2 

## similarly-sized company in our industry, then that 3 

## would be an accommodation that would be helpful. But 4 

## what Dan is saying is correct. I'm telling you, 5 

## you've never run a small business. It's 6 

## unbelievable, and to take the time out every two 7 

## weeks to come here two days. 8 

## This is not just a travel expense for that 9 

## company. It's going to cost them sales, cost them 10 

## earnings. These people wake up in the middle of the 11 

## night wondering if they're going to make payroll on 12 

## Monday morning. I'm telling you, you need to 13 

## accommodate them, and to give up their vote because 14 

## they're under the pressure of whether or not they 15 

## maintain the employment of their 27 employees? It's 16 

## not right. 17 

## MS. JAKOBS: This is Diane Jakobs, and I 18 

## think that each individual should argue for their own 19

## MS. MAUER: This is Joanna. My intention 7 

## actually was to make it more accommodating to say 8 

## that it doesn't have to be a special circumstance. 9 

## MR. HOWE: Well, I don't want to get tied 10 

## up in the terminology of it, but I'm still stuck with 11 

## it. If it says proxy voting is not permitted and 12 

## that's it, and you have to find somewhere else in the 13 

## document that says oh well, it can be, I just didn't 14 

## think that was clear enough. That's my point. 15 

## MS. MAUER: So I don't think the second 16 

## sentence was referring to proxy voting. I thought it 17 

## was referring to special voting, yeah, by committee 18 

## member voting. And so I just wanted to clarify that 19

## confusing the issue, the discussion that I recall on 2 

## that language from the group, and I know that there 3 

## are members here that were at that session, is that 4 

## in the prior meeting where the original language was 5 

## adopted, what they were talking was that in order to 6 

## vote, one needed to participate in the discussion, 7 

## and that participation would be either in person or 8

## If you're voting by calling in a vote or 10

## MR. SMITH: But you couldn't give your 5

## discussion, you couldn't give your proxy. 7 

## MS. JAKOBS: But the person theoretically 8

## MR. SMITH: So this is Wade. I think the 17 

## perspective that you have is to imagine a 18 

## circumstance in which a person is detached from the 19

## So in one case I see an aggrieved party 3 

## who is unfairly treated, and the other case you see a 4 

## detached party who isn't participating, but still 5 

## wants to influence the outcome. 6 

## MS. JAKOBS: There are times in the last 7

## MR. SMITH: Excuse me. 11

## MR. FINE: I know it's difficult. 18 

## MS. JAKOBS: Sorry. I was raising my hand 19 

## and no one ever calls on me. 20 

## MR. SMITH: No. It seems clear that the 21

## would like to avoid exist, and should not be enabled.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## But it doesn't seem clear to the other folks the 2 

## circumstances that those of us who travel in and 3 

## travel a lot, and play trains, planes and automobiles 4 

## and don't get to places because of circumstances, we 5 

## feel aggrieved, because we've participated say in a 6 

## discussion that might occur in two weeks from now, 7 

## yet the real vote on the subject at hand is going to 8 

## occur later on, and for some reason we're not at the 9 

## meeting and we can't exercise our rights. This seems 10 

## just patently unfair. 11 

## So the suggestion, the compromise 12 

## suggestion is to allow someone who is active on the 13

## account the circumstances that exist. Not to say 15 

## that under any and all circumstances, regardless of 16

## MR. SMITH: No, because that's the one 4 

## that counts the most. Why would we take away the one 5 

## that counts? 6 

## MS. JAKOBS: Because the person isn't 7

## MR. SMITH: But what if they are 9

## MR. BOSWELL: Ashley, are you seeing any 7

## (No response.) 12 

## MR. BOSWELL: So I'm still not sure that I 13

## that we do not favor proxy voting, and we have not 4

## MS. KOHL: Betsy Kohl, DOE GC. The 12 

## Negotiated Rulemaking Act does not discuss proxy 13

## But for the reasons that we've discussed, 16

## it's important for committees to be balanced, right, 18 

## and then our selection of the working group, right, 19

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So this is Ashley. I 4 

## think what you're hearing is that DOE has some 5 

## concerns whether it would be upholding all of its 6

## MR. BOSWELL: Donald. 12 

## MR. O'NEIL: Would any of this be relieved 13

## I mean is there ever -- 17

## MR. SMITH: So just a question for the 19

## MR. HARTLEIN: Yeah. I thought about this 8

## But what I thought I heard you say was 14 

## four like-minded people needed to be on the same 15

## I'm pretty sure that's what I heard, and I 18

## MR. FERNSTROM: Well this is Gary. Having 2 

## come to the realization that we have to unanimously 3 

## agree on consensus, which may be less than unanimity, 4 

## maybe we could revote, because we have one individual 5 

## that is precluding us from reaching consensus on 6

## MR. HARTLEIN: It really goes back to 2 

## Gary's expression earlier this morning. To me, it 3 

## was contradictory to the concept of the consensus 4 

## that we're trying to build. And again, I'd love to 5 

## hear if I got this wrong. I don't know if everybody 6 

## -- anybody else wants to weigh in what I think I 7 

## heard. 8 

## But what I thought I heard and immediately 9 

## reacted to was that his group wants to be able to 10 

## vote as a like-minded block and have that influence. 11 

## I don't think that's consensus-building. I think 12 

## consensus-building is influencing the others who come 13 

## to the table to solve a problem with different mind 14 

## sets and different perspectives, to come to a common 15 

## answer. 16 

## So to have that expression, and to have 17 

## the number hung on where that like-minded block has 18 

## to veto power at that point, to me is contradictory 19 

## to what we're trying to accomplish by getting to a 20

## here would need to give a little bit -- 3 

## MR. HARTLEIN: I think that was my -- in 4 

## fairness, I don't think Gary used the term "block." 5 

## That's my description of what I heard so -- 6 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. So you 7 

## heard correctly, and I think correctly represented, I 8 

## think, my position and our position. I took three 9 

## photographs at lunch. We were all over there at the 10 

## DOE cafeteria, and there were three tables. So at my 11 

## table, the energy efficiency advocates group, there 12 

## were three of us, and I went over to the fans table, 13 

## you may not have seen me do it, and I took a picture. 14

## went over to the, I think one of the primary fan user 17 

## groups table, which would be AHRI, and you know, 18

## MR. BOSWELL: So do we have everyone 8

## we move into the technical presentation, I just 10

## about having a public participation portion at the 12 

## end of the meeting. We have had some members of the 13

## allowed them to comment. 15 

## In the past I've been told that sometimes 16 

## DOE, instead of having a separate public comment 17 

## period for the final half hour, has just allowed the 18 

## public to participate in the conversation, as the 19 

## committee's having its meeting, and then not have the 20 

## separate comment period. 21 

## I'm told that people on the web can signal 22

## MR. BURDICK: I would promote that we 7

## MR. BOSWELL: Could you identify yourself? 9 

## I'm sorry. 10 

## MR. BURDICK: It's Larry Burdick at SPX. 11 

## So I would again condone public participation, you 12 

## know, during the meeting time and not wait until the 13

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. Any other thoughts on 5

## MR. FERNSTROM: Yeah, this is Gary. I 7

## village board meetings, school board meetings and 14 

## that sort of thing has been that we've allowed the 15 

## public to speak at the beginning of the meeting. 16 

## So if they know there's something on the 17 

## agenda they want to talk about they can, and then 18 

## speak again at the end. And again, that might not be 19

## Responding to your point, in a public meeting of that 2 

## nature, allowing comment throughout the meeting can 3 

## be disruptive. I haven't ever observed that to be 4 

## the case in these kinds of meetings, and the 5 

## facilitator can either choose to recognize or not 6 

## recognize someone based on their conduct. 7 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yeah, and I will say this in 8 

## terms of our role as facilitators. I said earlier 9 

## that part of our role is to make sure everyone had 10 

## the chance to be fully heard. There may come a time 11 

## during these meetings where I ask people to 12 

## abbreviate their being fully heard, as a way of just 13 

## time management. 14 

## And I thought earlier, some of our 15 

## discussions got lengthy, I felt people were being 16 

## somewhat concise with their comments, even though -- 17 

## but there's a lot of disagreement to express. So 18

## MR. HARTLEIN: This is Dan. I don't think 5 

## we have settled on the voting consensus, although we 6 

## had a temperature on it. So before we have a vote, 7 

## don't we have to agree what passes a vote? 8 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay. I guess in my mind 9 

## when I'd asked for a vote on the ground rules as a 10

## MR. HARTLEIN: Oh we did. We already put 12 

## that to bed. 13 

## MR. BOSWELL: Yeah. I mean I did ask for 14

## MR. HARTLEIN: Don't worry. I didn't 16

## (Laughter.) 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: Is there anyone else that 19

## MR. BOSWELL: Great. Thank you, Diane. 2 

## MR. JOHNSON: Thank you, sorry. 3 

## MR. BOSWELL: So we're voting for allowing 4 

## public participation during the course of the 5 

## meeting. 6 

## MR. JOHNSON: I would vote for that. 7 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay, and so far I'm seeing 8 

## everyone either is voting in favor or can live with. 9 

## So I think we have agreement that the public can 10 

## participate during the meeting. We will control 11 

## that, as we would any other discussion, and as a 12 

## result, we will not have a separate, reserved public 13 

## comment period at the end. 14 

## So people that are participating by the 15 

## webinar, I understand that with that technology, you 16 

## can let the coordinator know if you have a comment to 17 

## make, okay. Thank you. So I'm going to turn this 18 

## over to Ashley for her presentation, unless there's 19 

## something else that people wanted to raise. 20 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I'm going to start off 21 

## the presentation here, and I think we'll get a couple 22 

## of slides in and then open it up, because I think weMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 202 1 

## will start the discussion from there. 2 

## Just to set the stage a little bit, how we 3 

## got here. So the statute directs DOE to adopt 4 

## standards for commercial industrial fans and blowers, 5 

## if those standards would be technologically feasible 6 

## and economically justified. Currently we don't have 7 

## standards for fans, as many of you know. 8 

## In 2011, we published a Notice of Proposed 9 

## Determination of Coverage. Subsequent to that, we 10 

## published a framework document. We have also 11 

## published two Notice of Data Availabilities. One was 12 

## a while back in 2014, and then another one was the 13 

## most recent one, which used, I would say, it was 14 

## draft analyses with a different regulatory approach 15 

## that we will be getting to. 16 

## So just so you know the factors that DOE 17 

## has to consider and the analyses that are conducted, 18 

## since that might be new to some of you. These are 19 

## the seven factors in the statute for which DOE has to 20 

## consider in order to set standards. We do different 21 

## analyses to address these factors. 22 

## These are the analyses we'll be speakingMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 203 1 

## of in more detail when we talk about the standards. 2 

## But these are also the analyses that you see, at 3 

## least most of them, not all, that you see that were 4 

## released as part of the Notice of Data Availability. 5 

## So that includes a life cycle cost analysis, the 6 

## manufacturer impact analysis, the National Impact 7 

## Analysis. We do an engineering analysis, as well as 8 

## the environmental, utility and employment analysis. 9 

## So let's start out right with the 10 

## fundamentals. So while DOE has the authority to set 11 

## standards for all fans that meet the definition of 12 

## fan, DOE currently does not have a definition of a 13 

## fan. This is a definition of a fan for discussion 14 

## purposes. This ultimately would define what we call 15 

## our scope of coverage. 16 

## I think DOE strongly prefers that this 17 

## definition be kept fairly broad and all-encompassing. 18 

## There are a couple of issues that we'd specifically 19 

## like the committee's feedback and discussion on. But 20 

## as you can see, you can read the definition that's on 21 

## the slide, and then I can either tee up a couple of 22 

## the specific issues, or we can pause here if peopleMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

### 1 

## want to provide feedback at this point. You can all 2 

## say agree. 3 

## MR. HAUER: I have followed European fan 4 

## regulation quite closely up until 2015. I'm not 5 

## following the 2017 so much, but I must say the fan 6 

## definition is the most contested point. This is 7 

## really the most political item, because the question 8 

## also comes up who is a fan manufacturer and who is 9 

## responsible for the efficiency claims. 10 

## In your diagram here, I would personally 11 

## agree fully with that one, and it also matches 12 

## basically an image that is now in the upcoming AMCA 13 

## 210 indicated. So it would be a wire to air fan 14 

## efficiency metric. 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Correct. 16 

## MR. HARTLEIN: My question would be, not 17 

## doing the metric conversions real quickly, 25 18 

## kilojoules per kilograms of air. Can we put in that 19

## MR. BOSWELL: And again, could people 2

## MR. HARTLEIN: Sorry. 5 

## MS. IYAMA: Sanaee Iyama. It's a pressure 6

## believe it's also in the fan to finish included in 8 

## AMCA 99. 9 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Is it? Okay. 10 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. Thank you 11 

## Dan, because I had no idea either. But I do 12 

## understand a pressure ratio of 1.3. Thanks. 13 

## MR. HAUER: It's Armin Hauer speaking. 14 

## Indeed, the Fan Committee of AMCA is completely in 15 

## alliance with that one. 16 

## MR. SHEARD: Geoff Sheard, AGS Consulting. 17

## need to distinguish between fans, blowers and 2 

## compressors. So that's where we're going. 3 

## We have a concurrent rulemaking for 4 

## compressors, and this is why we feel we need this as 5 

## part of the definition. 6 

## MS. IYAMA: Sanaee Iyama. I just want to 7 

## add that in Europe, they have in their definition 8 

## both the limit expressed in terms of energy limit, 25 9 

## kilojoules per kilogram and a pressure ratio of 1.1, 10 

## and they recently published a review of their 11 

## regulation. They had a lot of issues with their fan 12 

## definition, and they're thinking of dropping the 25 13 

## and just maintaining the 1.1. 14 

## MS. MAUER: This is Joanna. I think our 15 

## concern with the proposed definition is that clearly 16 

## we're not going to set standards here for all fans 17 

## that would meet that definition, and but using that 18 

## definition would mean that all fans are preempted, 19

## in this rulemaking. 2 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I think you're going to 3 

## hear DOE disagree with that fundamentally, because 4 

## that would change our authority period. We could 5 

## never go back. Well, never is not the right word, 6 

## but it would be hard. It would be hard. So I think 7 

## we would much prefer to keep it broad. We would like 8 

## to make our authority clear at the outset. 9 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. I agree 10 

## with Joanna. I think -- I see Betsy shaking her 11 

## head. But I'd agree with Joanna. I think we'd like 12 

## to see the class of products that DOE has the 13 

## authority to regulate be as consistent as possible 14 

## with those regulated, which would not preclude states 15 

## from regulating products that DOE chooses not to. 16 

## But if you're going to, as a matter of 17 

## policy, make all of these definitions as broad as 18

## MR. BOSWELL: Wade. 12 

## MR. SMITH: I think we've said in the 13

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: I don't know if this 15 

## is the time to address it, but I know we've got 16

## And also I would like to see an exclusion 3 

## for regulated products, as was proposed in the 4

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So this is Ashley from 6

## suggestion about how to make it explicit about 2 

## furnace fans? 3 

## MR. WAGNER: Well, I'm just saying that 4 

## there are fans their energy use is covered under many 5 

## different energy consumption protocols, and furnace 6 

## fans being directly regulated has a, I don't know 7 

## what date it was, but here not too long ago, and they 8 

## could potentially be under the scope of what you just 9

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I'm not sure that's 11

## We should definitely make sure. We should square 13 

## away things with regards to standard when we get to 14 

## talk about applicability. 15 

## MR. WAGNER: Okay, and then the second 16 

## part, and Laura kind of talked about it, was that it 17

## transmission. And then finally, that will get put 3 

## into a final equipment. 4 

## Is each time of that sale of any of those 5

## MS. ARMSTRONG: 45, yeah. 9 

## MR. WAGNER: 45. 10 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So as I read that, if 11

## MR. WAGNER: Well sometimes they're sold 19 

## multiple times, you know. 20 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Yep. 21 

## MR. WAGNER: So it would be each step of 22

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I don't think it's the 2 

## intention necessarily for each step to be regulated. 3 

## I think depending on once we get to talking about the 4 

## metric, and how it's all packaged together and what 5 

## the testing looks like in terms of -- but I do think 6 

## it was meant to be the fan, the impeller, the shaft, 7 

## the structure, the bearings, the fan. Once that 8 

## piece is constructed, that would be a fan, and that 9 

## would be the regulated product. 10 

## MR. WAGNER: Okay. Well again it's sold 11 

## that way oftentimes, and then oftentimes it's sold 12 

## again, where you have the transmission, driver and 13 

## all that stuff included. So is it twice it's going 14 

## to be covered then? 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I think your point's well 16 

## taken. 17 

## MR. WAGNER: All right. 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: Laura, did you have a 19 

## comment? 20 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Yeah. Just one more 21 

## thing to add to that list of things we need to think 22 

## about, the controls. When you put that fan intoMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## the OEM product controls? 3 

## MR. BOSWELL: Wade. 4 

## MR. FINE: And just one quick thing. 5 

## People are putting up their tents, which are good, to 6 

## show us that they want to speak. But sometimes, from 7 

## my point of view, those fans or those tents are 8 

## obscured by the laptop. So stick them out there a 9 

## little further. Sorry about that. 10 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. I was just going to 11 

## clarify material in fans, and I guess this is more 12 

## appropriately talked about in the test standard. But 13 

## we would expect them, since the actual energy use of 14 

## the fan depends upon the material that they're 15 

## conveying, the expectation is that they would be 16 

## tested and performance-rated based on processing 17 

## clean air. 18 

## Even though their intended use is to 19 

## convey material, they can be -- they are tested and 20 

## rated based on clean air. 21 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Does anybody else have 22 

## anything? So I think one of the --May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MR. BOSWELL: Mike. 2 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I'm sorry, go ahead. 3 

## MR. WOLF: Mike Wolf, Greenheck. So maybe 4 

## this piggybacks on Greg's comment, but with regard to 5 

## what's included, this is more of a terminology thing. 6 

## The way your definition is written there now, putting 7 

## the word "if" in there. So in one case, it's going 8 

## to be regulated one way. 9 

## But if the manufacturer does something 10 

## different, it's regulated another way. It seems like 11 

## a definition. It's either a fan or not a fan, and if 12 

## you put the word "if" in there, now it's kind of an 13 

## ambiguous thing well, which way is it? So just to 14 

## comment. 15 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: All right. So perhaps you 16 

## guys can think about some suggested ways to -- I mean 17 

## I think the picture best describes what we were 18 

## trying to capture, and that's really what we call 19 

## wire to air ultimately metric and system here, 20 

## similar to what we did with pumps, but it was water 21

## MR. BOSWELL: Dan. 2 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Dan Hartlein. So 3 

## oftentimes as you draw that train, that could be four 4 

## steps in the delivery process. There could be four 5 

## different companies. 6 

## So asking the question, is it -- is it 7 

## compliant or regulated I guess is the right word. 8 

## Once that entire power train and everything is 9 

## assembled, or are the individual pieces regulated, or 10 

## is it regulated on all four steps? Maybe that's 11 

## echoing a little bit of what Greg was saying as well. 12 

## So that's -- that is a -- and I'm not maybe looking 13 

## for an answer, just a point of discussion. 14 

## That's a huge challenge to define that, 15 

## because we will oftentimes sell just an impeller to 16 

## somebody, who puts it in their housing, adds their 17 

## motor, and frankly a third party might add the 18 

## controls or what I think we mean by controls. There 19 

## is variable frequency drive, speed control. 20 

## And so in that arena, that can be four 21 

## different sales. So just to throw out that 22 

## complexity.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## MR. BOSWELL: Armin. 2 

## MR. HAUER: It's Armin Hauer speaking. I 3 

## would suggest that if included by manufacturer, it's 4 

## moved further into the back of that sentence, just in 5 

## front of "controls," and then that the controls box, 6 

## the green box could maybe be shaded in a different 7 

## color, because that would be optional. 8 

## But everything else is mandatory. You 9 

## have to have the driven fan, the non-driven fan, the 10 

## transmission and driver and then the controls as an 11 

## option, and this is where the "if" comes in. 12 

## Everything else would be really ambiguous. 13 

## MR. SMITH: In the pump rulemaking there 14 

## was a very -- 15 

## MR. BOSWELL: Please identify yourself. 16 

## MR. SMITH: Oh, I'm sorry. Wade Smith. 17 

## In the pump rulemaking, there's a very accommodating 18 

## approach, which defined how the regulation would 19 

## apply if the pump was sold by a standing alone, and 20 

## how it would be regulated if it was sold with some of 21 

## these other components, the transmission, the driver, 22 

## the controls.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 222 1 

## So I think what you've done here is 2 

## actually quite good. Armin's business is principally 3 

## making packages, but many of our other members make 4 

## and sell fans, which is just the extreme right-hand 5 

## box in this diagram, and there has to be an 6 

## accommodation to that circumstance in the regulation, 7 

## which is the way I read your intent here. 8 

## And of course I think it will come out 9 

## here in our discussions, but the portion of the 10 

## diagram called the non-driven fan is actually -- 11 

## actually can be broken up into further, you know, 12 

## because sometimes there's just an impeller sold. 13 

## Sometimes there's an impeller and bearing, sometimes 14 

## there's an impeller, bearings and housing. 15 

## So the question is when does the 16 

## regulation kick in, and the folks here who make those 17 

## components under some circumstances will have -- 18 

## obviously they'll have comments and suggestions on 19 

## how to deal with that. But just to kind of tee that 20 

## up. I know it's coming in the discussions. 21

## of going to spin off of this, and I'll just -- we 2 

## make a fan that meets the definition of a fan up 3 

## there, and I have one customer who provides us the 4 

## motor. 5 

## So we then mount their motor on what was 6 

## the far right-hand box. So now I've got the first 7 

## two boxes covered just in components, but then I can 8 

## also sell it myself with the motor. So now two things 9 

## that look exactly alike fall into different 10 

## regulatory categories or not? Because all I sold was 11 

## the fan or I sold the fan and the motor? 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I think it depends on 13 

## what we ultimately decide, first of all. But I think 14 

## what we were looking for, at least in our overall 15 

## regulatory approach, was just a -- what I would call 16 

## wire to air metric. This definition, which 17 

## encompasses those additional pieces, besides just 18 

## what you would think of as the conventional fan, 19 

## allows us to do that. 20 

## The definition has to be encompassing of 21 

## that. Now that being said, for pumps, and something 22 

## that we could consider -- I think you'll likely seeMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 224 1 

## this coming down the pike when we get to it was, you 2 

## know, if it's just -- if you only manufacture the 3 

## fan, and when I'm going to call the fan, I'm going to 4 

## say it's the impeller and its housing and associated, 5 

## you know, the completed fan in the green box up 6 

## there. 7 

## We provided an avenue for you to get your 8 

## full metric without having to know the other pieces 9 

## that ultimately it may be paired with in the field. 10 

## So that way, you would still be representing in this 11 

## full wire to air metric, but you would only have the 12 

## fan piece that you would know through testing. 13 

## So for lack of a better term, it's almost 14 

## like dummy or nominal values for the motor 15 

## efficiency, the driver, the controls. However, if 16

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Ashley, thank you very 4 

## much for that clarification. To make it more clear 5 

## in the definition, can I propose adding "if included 6 

## by the manufacturer at the time of first sale"? 7 

## MR. DADDIS: Ashley, can you define -- 8 

## this is Duane Daddis. Can you define what you mean 9 

## wire to air? Is that electrical power too? 10 

## MR. SMITH: Convert electrical power to 11 

## air power. 12 

## MR. DADDIS: Okay. So then we say in a 13 

## basic definition, we're saying that it converts 14 

## mechanical. So aren't we saying -- if we say wire to 15 

## air, we're saying it's converting electrical power 16 

## instead of mechanical, because when you say 17 

## mechanical power, I think it doesn't include the 18 

## motor. Just shaft power is there, and then we're 19 

## going to start from the shaft. 20 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Does anybody else have -- 21

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Well, mechanical power 2 

## would be the impeller. 3 

## MR. SMITH: Right. Mechanical power would 4 

## refer to only one of the boxes. 5 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: The impeller. 6

## certification would be wire to air. 4 

## MS. MAUER: Right. 5 

## MR. SMITH: So the fan definition, right. 6 

## So he's going to make a mechanically driven fan that 7

## MR. HARTLEIN: So yes, it's true that 4

## MS. WALTNER: Yeah it does, and I guess it 5

## driven by things other than electrical or mechanical, 16 

## electro-mechanical machinery, which gets us to 17

## MR. WAGNER: So there's loads of fans that 9

## question, most of I think the people here represent 11 

## stuff that's electrically driven. But there are a 12

## etcetera. 2 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary. I'd just 3 

## like to make a comment from the perspective of the 4 

## utility industry. 5 

## One of the issues for us is the 6 

## competition between utility-supplied natural gas fuel 7 

## and utility-supplied electric fuel, and Steve 8 

## Rosenstock isn't here, but both the EEI and AGA are 9 

## sensitive to the notion that maybe one fuel use might 10 

## be regulated to the disadvantage of another. 11 

## So I think it's important that DOE address 12 

## multiple fuels, but utility-supplied ones. I don't 13 

## think we care so much if it's a fan, you know, on a 14 

## tractor and an automobile. But there's an industry 15 

## competitive issue if electrically powered fans get 16 

## treated different than ones that might be driven by 17 

## engines or turbines that are fueled by natural gas. 18 

## MR. FINE: Can I just ask a dumb question. 19 

## Are turbines included in this or for instance, like 20 

## there's turbines that -- generating power, like even 21 

## a nuclear weapons, or not weapons plant, but a 22 

## nuclear plant would heat steam, that would turnMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## turbines? 2 

## MR. WAGNER: Their compression ratio is 3 

## greater than this, at least I hope it is. 4 

## MR. FINE: Okay. I'm just trying to 5 

## understand. 6 

## (Off mic comments.) 7 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I think we've heard the 8 

## feedback. I think we need to think about what 9 

## wordsmithing the definitions might look like, given 10 

## our -- so let's proceed down with talking about 11 

## components and some of the -- what different 12 

## categories of fans would be in scope, what exactly 13 

## we're talking about, and then perhaps we can revisit. 14 

## If anybody has ideas, we welcome them. 15 

## So we're not sure this is completely 16 

## needed, but I guess we did -- we tried to generate 17 

## ideas for this PowerPoint. This PowerPoint isn't 18 

## necessarily meant to convey DOE's opinions. They are 19 

## just discussion topics. 20 

## But we do believe that, you know, a fan 21 

## typically consists of an impeller shaft, bearings, 22 

## the structure of the housing, even if that structureMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 238 1 

## or housing is part of an OEM product. And so these 2 

## are some definitions potentially for impeller, 3 

## structure and housing, to the extent we believe that 4 

## they're necessarily to ultimately define what I would 5 

## call the non-driven fan. Not the full fan that we're 6 

## defining, but the non-driven portion of the fan. 7 

## If we are mimicking fans, just for a 8 

## discussion point, if we're mimicking fans potentially 9 

## as we did pumps, while we used a full wire to water 10 

## metric there that included controls and motors, we 11 

## ultimately did it -- structured it in such a way, 12 

## such that the pump manufacturer of what I would call 13 

## the bare pump is the one responsible for making those 14 

## representations and ultimately. 15 

## So if we did something similar here, it 16 

## would be the bare fan manufacturer which would have 17 

## all of these parts. It wouldn't be an impeller 18 

## manufacturer. It wouldn't be a structure. It would 19 

## be the person who has the impeller, structure and 20 

## housing put together. 21 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Dan Hartlein. You 22 

## mentioned the pump rulemaking. Did you includeMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

### 1 

## alternative driven pumps in the pump rulemaking? So 2 

## a diesel-driven pump would be included, would be 3 

## covered, for example? 4 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I'll go back and 5 

## double-check. I think we did though, yeah. 6 

## MS. MAUER: This is Joanna. If you could 7 

## just clarify one thing. I assume there's a similar 8 

## issue in fans, but certainly on pumps that the same 9 

## pump can be driven by an electric motor or an engine 10 

## or something else, and the pump manufacturer may not 11 

## know how it's actually applied. 12 

## So I think if that's the case in fans, 13 

## then I think it's problematic to limit it to a 14 

## certain fuel and a manufacturer may not know how it 15 

## will actually be applied. 16 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Actually engine -- Dan 17 

## Hartlein. Engine-driven pumps tend to have issues 18 

## with the -- with the ability for that engine to put 19 

## inertia into that system that were not designed for. 20 

## So it is not typically the exact same machine. It's 21 

## typically having to be designed for that driver, for 22 

## that type of drive.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 240 1 

## When we get into steam turbine drive, we 2 

## have all sorts of torsional and dynamic analysis that 3 

## we have to do across that power train. So we're not 4 

## able to use the exact same fan with an electric motor 5 

## that we use with these alternative drives. That's 6 

## not the same. So to the extent that that's true in 7 

## the pump business, it's not in the fan business. 8 

## They're different, okay? 9 

## MS. MAUER: So that's true in all cases, 10 

## that a fan that's -- you would design it to be driven 11 

## by an electric motor and no other? 12 

## MR. HARTLEIN: To my knowledge, yes. When 13 

## you get into these alternative drive systems, we have 14 

## other things we have to look at, that we don't have 15 

## to look at with the simplicity of an electric motor 16 

## drive system. 17 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I'm going to keep going 18 

## with the other definitions, which would complete what 19 

## I would call a system, a fan system, ultimately we 20 

## are defining the fan. But it will be a control, 21 

## driver, transmissions. 22 

## MR. HAUER: I'm getting confused now, howMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## we proceed here, because we are looking at slides now 2 

## that the DOE had prepared, and we are providing some 3 

## feedback. What is happening now? Are we going all 4 

## go home and write alternative definitions, or will 5 

## the DOE now amend the slides, like we said and like 6 

## we did with the ground rules? 7 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Yeah. Well, there's a lot 8 

## of feedback coming at me though, to do them on the 9 

## fly. I was going to try to come up with revised 10 

## definitions for distribution perhaps later tonight or 11 

## tomorrow, that you can take a look at again and we'll 12

## But at least since this is the first time 14

## Absolutely. You guys are a quiet crowd. 20

## very helpful, and I'm sure there are a number of good 3 

## reasons for it. But had the AMCA folks, and I'm sure 4 

## this would be true for others, seen this document 5 

## even a day before, we would have -- we would have had 6 

## more well-formulated positions on some of these 7 

## issues. 8 

## So as much as possible when we're having 9 

## these scheduled meetings, if we can get any sort of a 10 

## document in advance, I think that will make for a 11 

## much more efficient meeting. 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Okay. So we have a 13 

## comment from the webinar. "This list of parts should 14 

## match the parts named in the previous graphic. They 15

## going to go through this really quick. It's 4:15 2 

## already. I at least want to get through the scope 3 

## stuff and the category definitions, and then perhaps 4 

## maybe we can adjourn and let you think about those 5 

## for the night, because I think this is where we might 6 

## have some more lively feedback and a great place to 7 

## start with lively feedback in the morning, after 8 

## everyone has gotten their coffee. 9 

## So just to let you know what's on the 10 

## table, the scope of the negotiations is obviously 11 

## something we've talked about throughout. You know, 12 

## we can set the scope. DOE has the ability to set the 13 

## scope narrower than the actual covered product 14 

## definition if it so chooses. 15 

## Most of our regulations do not do that. 16 

## There are a select few though that do, for a variety 17 

## of reasons. So we just wanted to let you know that 18 

## that's an option. 19 

## So potential scope. Okay. So what you 20 

## see at the top in green is the scope of our -- is our 21 

## NODA that we just put out. So we put out draft 22 

## analysis that, at least in the green portions,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## encompasses these different categories of fans. That 2 

## which you see in orange was not encompassed in the 3 

## NODA, and then you can see the market share estimates 4 

## from that. 5 

## We do believe that all of these categories 6 

## would meet our definition that we showed at the 7 

## outset. But this is something for discussion. 8 

## MR. WOLF: This is Mike Wolf, Greenheck. 9 

## The market share numbers, are those in terms of 10 

## number of units, dollars or connected load, or what 11 

## is that? 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Annual sales units. 13 

## (Off mic comments.) 14

## a public document. 3 

## MR. WAGNER: Okay. I guess I don't know 4 

## how to comment then at all on this particular -- 5 

## MS. IYAMA: They work -- I know that they 6 

## work closely with industry -- 7 

## MR. WAGNER: What industry? 8 

## (Off mic comments.) 9 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. The IHS study was 10 

## commissioned by AMCA, and is available from AMCA to 11

## MR. SMITH: No, no, no. This is an 16 

## independent market research company who did this 17 

## study for fan markets, not just in the United States 18 

## but throughout the world. So it's a market study 19 

## that shows markets by region and by major country. 20

## MS. IYAMA: For the U.S. and for those in 2 

## green, it's about 650,000 units, if I remember 3 

## correctly. 4 

## MR. WAGNER: Okay. I will tell you right 5 

## here that we sell way more than that every year. 6 

## MR. SMITH: Okay. 7 

## MR. WAGNER: We alone. So that market 8 

## doesn't include any of the products we make, and that 9 

## goes for -- there's a range a of other folks here 10 

## that make a lot of fans that we don't sell all the 11 

## fans to them. 12 

## MR. BOSWELL: Laura. 13 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: It's been covered to 14 

## some extent, but I do -- there is concern that this 15 

## fan market data is not complete and comprehensive for 16 

## all the stakeholders involved with this rulemaking. 17 

## MS. IYAMA: Just one thing, all I'll let 18 

## -- Sanaee. These were also, and it's going to come 19

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: Just in response. It 5 

## would be very helpful if y'all prepared for tomorrow 6 

## a group summary of the scope of what is included in 7

## see if this is complete and comprehensive for what 11 

## you're trying to cover. Thank you. 12 

## MR. SMITH: Okay. So I'd be happy to do 13 

## that. The first thing to say and well, I'll say what 14 

## AMCA provided, right. So AMCA provided, under cover 15 

## of confidentiality agreement to the DOE contractors, 16 

## our estimate of market by type of fan, and we focused 17 

## on connected load, meaning horsepower, and this -- 18 

## the source of this information was our members. We 19 

## did a survey of our members, and we analyzed the data 20 

## that we had and determined that we had a percentage 21 

## of the market by each category, some categories 22 

## larger than others.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 248 1 

## But collectively, it represented 46 2 

## percent of the market. Okay. So now let me just say 3 

## that relatively early in our discussions, we focused 4 

## our attention on fans that were one horsepower and 5 

## greater. In the survey, we collected data on fans 6 

## that were less than one horsepower, and I should tell 7 

## you that the fans in our database, about 85 percent 8 

## of them are less than one horsepower. 9 

## But collectively, they represent only 10 

## about 20 percent of the connected load of the data 11 

## that we collected, right. So 15 to 20 percent of the 12 

## fans. I'd have to go back and look at my numbers, 13 

## but it's not a -- I'm close. 15 to 20 percent of the 14 

## fans that are in the database represent about 80 15 

## percent of the connected load, and so thereafter, we 16 

## focused our analysis on fans that were one to two 17 

## hundred horsepower. 18 

## We also followed the guidance of the 19 

## framework document, and ignored forward curve fans 20 

## that are embedded inside regulated unitary equipment. 21 

## So the market estimates that we turned over to the 22 

## Department of Energy did not include those forwardMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 249 1 

## curved fans, okay. 2 

## More recently, we had a look back and did 3 

## our own estimate on the connected load of those 4 

## forward curve fans, and as you pointed out a moment 5 

## ago, it's a big number. Since AHRI is at the table 6 

## and representing the companies that make and sell 7 

## those forward curve fans, we didn't really think it 8 

## was our place to advance our estimate of that market. 9 

## That's really for those other companies to 10 

## do and AHRI to do. So we have not provided that 11 

## information to anybody, but we did send a notice to 12 

## the Department of Energy contractors, informing them 13 

## that our market estimate provided previously did not 14 

## include those fans, and that it was deficient 15 

## relative to the analysis in that respect. 16 

## (Off mic comments.) 17 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Great. So I think to that 18 

## point, that's one of the reasons we're here. We 19 

## welcome data on exactly how you would change that. 20 

## So if this market share would shift because certain 21 

## fans are, you know, certain data wasn't available at 22

## MR. BOSWELL: Laura. 7 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: I think we need to 8 

## know a little bit more about what would actually be 9 

## proposed to be covered, to be able to provide that 10 

## information, with the framework document scope of 11 

## being 125 watts, but excluding fans and regulated 12 

## products. 13 

## There was, the scope has changed 14 

## considerably now to -- if it includes regulated 15 

## products, and there's been a lot of advocacy for fans 16 

## over one horsepower, you know. We're in flux about 17 

## fans in the specific products that may or may not be 18 

## covered. I mean this could be, you know, this is, 19

## going back and figuring out what's actually included 4 

## in these numbers. 5 

## And then we might be able to help figure 6

## may not be practical. 9 

## MR. BOSWELL: Gary. 10 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary. I heard 11 

## the discussion going on in terms of connected load. 12 

## But what's really of interest to us is energy use, 13 

## which is the product of the connected load times the 14 

## hours of operation or in consideration of the load 15 

## curve. I'd just like to point that out. 16 

## If we have big products that aren't being 17 

## used much, that's of less interest than a lot of 18 

## small products that are being used a lot and add up 19 

## to a lot of energy. 20

## So this is up for discussion. The scope 6

## We haven't put out a proposed rule yet. 13

## created between efficiency advocates and AMCA members 2 

## is reflected in the slide that you have up there, had 3 

## up there. We recommended not covering crossflow 4 

## fans, safety fans, induced flow fans, circulating fans 5 

## and a few others. 6 

## We also recommended that the coverage 7 

## range from one to two hundred horsepower inclusive, 8 

## and at the time that we prepared our joint note of 9 

## comment which described this recommendation, we were 10 

## not clear amongst ourselves, between the two -- 11 

## between the people that were in the discussions, 12 

## about where in the continuum from wire to air these 13 

## horsepower limits would be applied. 14 

## And so internal to AMCA, we've had quite a 15 

## bit of debate and difference of opinion on that 16 

## question, and have come to a consensus, which we're 17 

## happy to share. I should add that the advocates have 18

## one to two hundred horsepower inclusive? 2 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: Can I clarify? That's 3 

## one horsepower to 200 horsepower, not 100 horsepower 4 

## to 200 horsepower. 5 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. That's one horsepower 6

## (Off mic comments.) 11 

## MR. BOSWELL: Gary. 12 

## MR. FERNSTROM: This is Gary. So with due 13 

## respect and consideration for the discussions that 14 

## we've previously had with the fan folks, it occurs to 15 

## me at the moment that if the lower limit is one 16 

## horsepower, it would probably not -- the regulation 17 

## that is -- would not cover the kinds of fans we see 18 

## in residential and small commercial HVAC equipment, 19 

## which is an enormous energy use when you multiply the 20 

## connected load of those fans times the number of 21 

## them, the individual load times the number of them. 22 

## I don't think we'd want to summarilyMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## exclude that without at least taking a look at it, in 2 

## terms of the energy saving and cost impacts. 3 

## MR. HAUER: Armin Hauer. These proposed 4 

## limit has two problems or two discussion points. One 5 

## is what is a horsepower, right? Is it shaft power or 6 

## is it air power or is it electrical input power, 7 

## and is it fan shaft or is it motor shaft? And then 8 

## the other point is that maybe the limits are too 9 

## tight, you know. Maybe we could increase the range 10 

## of coverage. 11 

## Imagine that in Europe it's 125 watts, the 12 

## smallest fans that are being regulated, and there is 13 

## a tendency to go even lower than that, like to 30 14 

## watts. Also, there was discussion about industrial 15 

## and commercial fans. Just imagine that in a data 16 

## center you have these computer racks. 17 

## There might be hundreds of thousands of 18 

## small fans inside, six inch fans, and these are -- in 19 

## my book, I would count them as maybe even industrial, 20 

## right. Why would we exempt those small fans that are 21 

## used in the thousands? 22 

## MR. BOSWELL: Mark, did you -- okay.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## Wade. I'm sorry, Joanna. 2 

## MS. MAUER: This is Joanna. I was just 3 

## going to say that the one to two hundred horsepower 4 

## is consistent with our discussions, and consistent 5 

## with the joint recommendation that we've made to DOE 6 

## with AMCA. 7 

## MR. SMITH: Yeah. The argument for 8 

## limiting the range of regulation on the low end is to 9 

## reduce the impact on manufacturers. The first 10 

## observation is that if 85 percent of the models sold 11 

## are below one horsepower, then we are focusing our 12 

## investments as manufacturers in product redesigns to 13 

## improve efficiency on the larger units where there 14 

## are fewer models to contend with. 15 

## At the same time, the connected load above 16 

## -- one horsepower and above is quite a bit larger 17 

## than below one horsepower, and there's -- I mean I'll 18 

## let others comment on this. But I don't think, Gary, 19 

## that the operating hours below one horsepower are 20 

## probably even as great as the average operating hours 21 

## of a fan above one horsepower. 22 

## So I don't -- I don't think that there'sMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## any discontinuity that would cause the energy use in 2 

## the connected load to be different proportionally, 3 

## okay. And so that was the arguments. But I would 4 

## also add that those arguments were advanced in an 5 

## environment in which we were not considering 6 

## regulated unitary equipment. 7 

## If you add regulated unitary equipment in, 8

## looking at it with a blind eye toward regulated 2 

## unitary equipment, okay. 3 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: That's right. I mean 4 

## there's other equipment that could possibly be 5 

## impacted that is also regulated. So -- 6 

## MR. BOSWELL: Okay, Greg and then -- 7 

## MR. SMITH: A blind eye toward regulated 8 

## equipment, sorry. 9 

## MR. WAGNER: You know, the same question 10 

## about the power. Where is that power being measured 11 

## is critical to this discussion. But a lot of the 12 

## residential and the below one horsepower are already 13 

## covered under other regulations that cover the 14 

## equipment, both air conditioning systems as well as 15 

## now in the furnace fan regulation. So the vast 16 

## majority of those are covered under those standards. 17 

## MR. SMITH: Okay. So what are people 18 

## thinking when they answer the question is this a one 19 

## horsepower fan, and in our database, we requested 20 

## this information -- this is Wade Smith -- in our 21 

## database we requested this information from our 22 

## member companies, and the --May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 260 1 

## And we did it without a crisp definition 2 

## right, and the general response is that it's a one 3 

## horsepower motor. But in the database, we have not 4 

## -- we have data that describes the motor capacity, 5 

## but also describe the fan shaft power requirement. 6 

## And so in our analysis of the data, we 7 

## based the one horsepower limit on the fan shaft input 8 

## power to the fan. In our discussions recently about 9 

## the administrative aspect of that, it became very 10 

## clear that we have some member companies who don't 11 

## know what the fan shaft power is, and consider it an 12 

## unreasonable burden to determine what the fan shaft 13 

## horsepower is. 14 

## After some discussion, the membership at 15 

## least of this committee agreed and suggested instead 16 

## that we base the limit on the watts input to the fan 17 

## assembly. So if you sell a fan that doesn't include 18 

## the motor, for example, you get to that answer by 19 

## using the default values that DOE will ultimately 20 

## document for us. 21 

## And since our analysis is based on one 22 

## horsepower fan shaft, we would seek to translate oneMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 261 1 

## horsepower at the fan shaft to the watts input to the 2 

## assembly based on these default values. 3 

## So that the intent behind our agreement 4 

## with the efficiency advocates of starting at one 5 

## horsepower is met, but instead is described as watts 6 

## in and manufacturers of fans, large, small, driven 7 

## fans, fans driven with external rotor motors, fans 8 

## driven with EC motors, etcetera, etcetera, are able 9 

## to easily accommodate a regulation which is on -- 10 

## which is described on that basis. 11 

## So that's at the low end. We talk about 12 

## the 200 horsepower end separately, but we'll just -- 13 

## I'll just confine my answer to that. 14 

## (Off mic comments.) 15 

## MR. SMITH: Well, the basis of our 16 

## discussion was shaft power to the fan, but ultimately 17 

## since that is not easy to determine in some fan 18 

## designs, we want to translate that into wire input 19 

## power as a different figure that's nominally 20 

## equivalent to one fan horsepower. 21 

## MR. FLY: This is Mark Fly from AAON. But 22 

## the fan power -- I mean the shaft power to the fan isMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## going to be very much dependent on the point of 2 

## operation of that fan, and the speed on which it 3 

## runs. So I mean you're really not talking about the 4 

## fan impeller anymore. You have to assume a speed and 5 

## assume some point of operation on the fan curve. 6 

## MR. SMITH: Yes. 7 

## MS. PETRILLO-GROH: I'd be a little 8 

## concerned that the -- Laura Petrillo-Groh, AHRI. I'd 9 

## be a little concerned that the measuring it as watts 10 

## input to the fan assembly not only, you know, you'd 11 

## have to look at the point of operation, but you'd 12 

## also have to include quite a few other power 13 

## components to a no amp product. I don't know if you 14 

## could separate out fans to the -- or watts to the fan 15 

## assembly without that system effect of the fan in the 16 

## assembly. 17 

## MR. BOSWELL: Dan did you have -- 18 

## MR. HARTLEIN: I just want to reinforce 19 

## the fact that there are fan manufacturers that don't 20 

## have a fan shaft or a motor shaft, and those are 21 

## electrically driven products. And so this is kind of 22 

## the reality that took us to the fact that the onlyMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 263 1 

## obvious way to sort that out was the power in. 2 

## And the ability for a manufacturer to use 3 

## reasonably and mutually acceptable factors in order 4 

## to estimate that, if they weren't delivering that, 5 

## would give you a fair way to set that standard for 6 

## everybody. 7 

## The second thing I want to throw out, and 8 

## just so you start thinking about this a little bit, 9 

## on the other end of the limit, wherever we set that, 10 

## let's assume 200 horsepower for a minute, it's quite 11 

## possible that a less effective fan is 210 horsepower, 12 

## and therefore unregulated. 13 

## The more effective fan is 170 horsepower 14 

## and falls under regulation. So I only give you that 15 

## as maybe something to chew on overnight or tonight 16 

## with a drink, so because I'm not sure what we're 17 

## going to do with that. But that's another challenge 18 

## on the other end, so thank you. 19 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary. When we 20

## meant the motor horsepower that you'd see on the 2 

## nameplate of the motor that would drive the fan. 3 

## If we do what you guys are talking about, 4 

## and I don't have a problem with thinking about it 5 

## electrically in principle, but directionally what it 6 

## would do is make the smaller-sized fan bigger because 7 

## -- 8 

## (Off mic comments.) 9 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Okay. So -- 10 

## MR. SMITH: We're flexible in that regard. 11 

## It's not our intent to change it. 12 

## MR. FERNSTROM: Okay. So it seems to me, 13 

## thinking about it electrically if there's good reason 14 

## would be fine, so long as we don't lose our concept 15 

## of what the smaller size would be. 16 

## MR. SMITH: Right, true. 17 

## MR. WAGNER: North American motors are 18 

## rated by the shaft power, which you know, for a one 19 

## horsepower drive often, you know, it is the same as 20 

## what goes into the fan itself. So I mean it's a 21 

## minor difference - 22 

## (Off mic comments.)May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 265 1 

## MR. WAGNER: Yeah, right. But when 2 

## they're rated in horsepower it's a mechanical power. 3 

## MALE PARTICIPANT: You want to answer? Go 4 

## ahead. 5 

## MR. HARTLEIN: As we reach into industrial 6 

## markets, this is Dan Hartlein, ahh yes, it's quite 7 

## common for us to have a specification that requires 8 

## the spread between the duty point and the motor 9 

## rating to be fairly substantial. So if I have a fan 10 

## that draws 170 horsepower, I very likely could be 11 

## compelled by specification to ship that with a motor 12 

## that has a nameplate capacity of 250. 13 

## So therefore my fan falls neatly in the 14 

## regulated arena, but my motor nameplate does not, and 15 

## that's a quite common practice in the market, as you 16 

## reach beyond the lower horsepower. So we build these 17 

## with a cushion, the motor manufacturer themselves. I 18 

## know NEMA's been fairly sophisticated in this, and I 19 

## think Rob's in the room. 20 

## So you know, it's quite common that a 21 

## motor with a safety factor loses the safety factor 22 

## under variable frequency drive conditions. So theMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 266 1 

## 1.2 safety factor built into the motor becomes a 1.0 2 

## under variable frequency drive conditions. So 3 

## there's many, many issues here that need to be sorted 4 

## through. But it's the motor nameplate itself is 5 

## problematic for the industries. 6 

## MR. SMITH: There's a growing trend to 7 

## employ motors which are not rated, and for which 8 

## there is no rating standard, I should add. So if one 9 

## wanted to rate them, what would that rating be based 10 

## on? Of course, the watts in is pretty crisp and easy 11 

## to understand and find, and so that's where we ended 12 

## up, because it's more universally applied. 13 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Dan Hartlein. I could add 14 

## one more comment to that, to just reinforce that. 15 

## Those motors, I think Wade was referring to EC motors 16 

## or so-called electronically and air over motors. In 17 

## the EC motor arena, because it has a flat efficiency 18 

## curve across the speed range, it doesn't drop off 19 

## like an induction motor does. 20 

## It's actually quite common for the exact 21 

## same piece of hardware to come with four different 22 

## horsepower nameplates. So that's done, because it'sMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 267 1 

## based on the draw, and in that case, it has the exact 2 

## same motor efficiency. It doesn't fall off. So that 3 

## ten horsepower EC motor might be rated as a four, a 4 

## six, an eight and a ten. And I've even seen some 5 

## that were being rated mid, like five and a half was 6 

## the nameplate rating on the motor. So just to bring 7 

## that up. 8 

## MR. FERNSTROM: So this is Gary. This 9 

## sounds like this offers good opportunity for us to 10 

## think about over the evening. 11 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: I was just going to say 12 

## the same thing. 13 

## MR. BOSWELL: There's one more comment. 14 

## MR. ROY: Aniruddh Roy, Goodman. So since 15 

## we're all going to think a little bit tonight, I 16 

## would like to propose that in Slides 51 and 52, we 17 

## consider adding text which was presented in DOE's 18 

## framework document in 2013, where it says 19 

## specifically "DOE is not considering standards for 20 

## fans that are a component in regulated commercial 21 

## products in this rulemaking." 22 

## I would like to modify that sentence.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 268 1 

## Instead of saying "commercial products in this 2 

## rulemaking," I would say that are a component in 3 

## regulated products under 10 C.F.R. Part 430 or 10 4 

## C.F.R. Part 431, given the one to two hundred 5 

## horsepower discussion here. 6 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: So I think to add to that 7 

## for people to think about, and I think one of the 8 

## reasons why you've seen the Department leave that 9 

## open, is from the point of fan manufacturer and well, 10 

## from the point of the fan, we're talking about their 11 

## fan, impeller, structure, housing assembly. 12 

## How would you know if it's included into 13 

## -- and I don't need necessarily an answer right now. 14 

## But a hard line as to how you would know if it's 15 

## ultimately included in OEM equipment or not, and do 16 

## the same models ever get sold into both? Are they 17 

## design differences? Are they the same categories. 18 

## I think DOE would like to hear if you're 19 

## asking for your products to potentially not be 20 

## considered. We would need some strong evidence as to 21 

## how they're different. 22

## think that's what I want you to think about. 6 

## MR. WAGNER: Right. Well I'm just saying 7 

## how do you find it today? You're going to find a 8 

## non-compliant product by finding something in the 9 

## marketplace that doesn't meet the performance 10 

## standards you require, through some auditing or 11 

## whatever kind of basis, right? 12 

## MS. ARMSTRONG: Absolutely. But if the 13 

## point of whether it's even subject to the regulation 14 

## is based upon a claim, then all somebody has to do is 15 

## say "I claim I'm not" to get out. It doesn't even 16

## fundamental problem. 18 

## MR. WAGNER: I'm not following that, but 19 

## okay. 20 

## MR. FLY: This is Mark Fly with AAON. 21 

## Just one distinction to think about, the difference 22 

## between motors and fans is that when you take anMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## impeller and you put it into a product, a packaged 2 

## product, because of the system effects that happen on 3 

## that fan you can fundamentally change the performance 4 

## of that fan and how it operates. 5 

## So you know, a motor when you put it into 6 

## a product generally doesn't change its 7 

## characteristics, but a fan does. So I think that is 8 

## one distinction that we have to be very clear on, and 9 

## it's going to be very difficult to extract some of 10 

## these fans from the products from which they are in, 11 

## to test in some kind of standard, and especially if 12 

## that product is, you know, like for instance 13 

## condenser fans that are in a product. 14 

## That's already a regulated product, and 15 

## that condenser fan is a very critical part of the 16 

## energy consumption of that particular piece of the 17 

## product, which is already regulated. 18 

## MR. BOSWELL: Dan. 19 

## MR. HARTLEIN: Yeah. I think one 20 

## additional thought I know that we've bantered about 21 

## on this issue is that -- it's Dan Hartlein by the way 22 

## -- it's very, very likely that regulated equipment,May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## this will become a bigger part of the market, not a 2 

## smaller part. 3 

## So as regulations expand through time, the 4 

## potential to have application-dependent metrics in 5 

## the area where if I ship it to this customer, it's 6 

## covered, and if I ship it to this customer it's not. 7 

## I think that increases over time. So I 8 

## think this problem actually gets bigger, not smaller, 9 

## because of advancements in regulation levels across 10 

## the multiple industries that you're covering. 11 

## So that would be a concern of mine, is 12 

## that, you know, if you get into products like a 13 

## double-width air foil, which are occasionally 14 

## embedded in this product and occasionally not, I've 15 

## got a situation that to us, and frankly the 16 

## distribution channel for us many times doesn't 17 

## change. 18 

## So I sell it through the exact same 19 

## distribution channel. It has a different 20 

## application, and while that's not a specific issue 21

## There's basically two kinds of fans, well three kinds 22 

## of fans that are embedded. There's propeller fansMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## that go on condensers; there's forward curve fans 2 

## that are generally used for supply fans, sometimes 3 

## exhaust; and there's what I'll call plug fans, 4 

## backward-inclined plug fans, and the concern that 5 

## Ashley is expressing are shared by AMCA members. 6 

## The place where this is most notable is on 7 

## the backward-inclined fans. A backward-inclined fan 8 

## is used in a lot of unregulated products. It's used 9 

## standing alone in field-installed systems, and it's 10 

## used in regulated product. 11 

## So again, if you go to the production line 12 

## and you see a 20-inch backward-inclined plug fan 13 

## going down the line, is it regulated? I don't know 14 

## the answer to that question. So that's one issue. 15 

## The second concern that our members have 16 

## is that it's our estimate that about 99 percent of 17 

## the connected load of forward curve fans are 18 

## embedded. They're not all embedded in regulated 19 

## unitary equipment, but they go inside other pieces of 20 

## equipment, and that's a very high percentage. 21 

## So if they were exempt, and let's say 85 22 

## percent of them are in regulated equipment, ifMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

866-928-6509 Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. 202-347-3700 Page 277 1 

## they're exempt and you go to the production line and 2 

## you see a forward curve fan, 85 percent of the time 3 

## it would be headed for a regulated piece of 4 

## equipment, which encourages the idea of 5 

## differentiating fans embedded in regulated equipment 6 

## as forward curve fans. 7 

## So you know, if you just drew the map and 8 

## said I'm going to describe a forward curve fan, and 9 

## I'm going to suggest that forward curve fans should 10 

## be exempt from this regulation, since 85 percent of 11 

## them are embedded inside regulated unitary equipment, 12 

## then forward curve fans get a pass. 13 

## The fear, of course, is that forward curve 14 

## fans, which are sometimes used for exhaust fans and 15 

## other free-standing applications, are oftentimes used 16 

## in unregulated equipment, would have a pass, and 17 

## therefore would have -- would not be burdened with 18 

## the cost and efficiency implications of a DOE 19 

## regulation, while their competitors, 20 

## backward-inclined fans logically, would have that 21 

## burden. 22 

## That's an unacceptable situation to thoseMay 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting

## have you thinking about these issues. It's not an 3 

## easy thing to get after, okay. 4 

## MR. ROY: Aniruddh Roy, Goodman. This is 5 

## just one small comment. I would like DOE to think 6 

## about or explore a possibility to incorporate that 7 

## into the reporting structure for fans, that will be 8 

## required in the future for regulated fans, and maybe 9 

## have a disclosure, maybe a column where the 10 

## manufacturer declares whether that particular model 11 

## is being supplied to an OEM or not that is regulated, 12 

## that is manufacturing that regulated product, just as 13 

## a disclosure. 14 

## Because if we do not address this issue, 15 

## then like I mentioned in the beginning of the 16 

## meeting, an OEM could be -- that is making a 17 

## regulated product currently could be subject to two 18 

## sets of reporting requirements, and we already know 19 

## how burdensome it is for unitary products or other 20 

## products like water source heat pumps or PTACs. 21

## for DOE to consider tonight.May 6, 2015 ASRAC Fans and Blowers Working Group Meeting
