U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

PUBLIC MEETING ON THE ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARD

FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT FOR

AU TOMATIC COMMERCIAL ICE-MAKERS

U.S. De partment of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW. Washington, DC 20585 Thursday December 16, 2010

Room 8E-089

Purpose The Department is holding this informal public meeting as a first step in the standards rulemaking process for commercial refrigeration equipment. This meeting is intended to familiarize interested stakeholders with the approach and analytical tools that the DOE anticipates using, and as such, it is the starting point for the standards-development process. The meeting will highlight issues on which DOE requests feedback from interested parties on the assumptions, methodology, and analytical tools the DOE intends to use.
