U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

PUBLIC MEETING ON THE ENERGY C O NSERVATION STANDARD

FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT FOR COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT

U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Avenue, SW. Washington, DC 20585

T uesday , May 18, 2010

Room 8E-089

Purpo se 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 th at 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 D OE intends to use.
