ERA Disclaimers This Energy-efficient Refrigerator Analysis program ("ERA") is posted for the limited purpose of providing full disclosure of the analysis tools used by the Department of Energy ("DOE") in analysis conducted for the energy conservation standard rulemaking for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers. ERA may not be distributed without express permission of the DOE. This material was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government. Neither the Un ited States Government nor the DOE, nor any of their employees, makes any wa rranty, express or implied, or assumes any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, apparatus, product, or process disclosed, or represents that its use would not infringe privately owned rights. Because this program was used by DOE in conjunction with other supporting data and analytical tools to perform its analysis , the ERA data do not constitute the sole means of reaching any conclusions associated with the analysis performed by DOE in determining the energy efficiency st andards adopted by DOE. The ERA program design, as described in the Technical Suppo rt Document ("TSD"), is intended to provide a simulation of various techno logical options to support efficiency standards analysis and should not be considered as a predictive tool for the performance of a given technological option. Any use which an individual user or other third party makes of ERA, or any re liance on it, or decisions to be made based on it, are the responsibility of the individual user or such third party.
