efficiency standards.
The following minimum energy efficiency standards for new products are
established:
(1) Bottle-type
water dispensers or water coolers manufactured on or after January 1, 2022, and
included in the scope of the United States Environmental Protection Agencys Energy
Star Program Requirements Product Specification for Water Coolers, Version 2.0,
must have an on mode with no water draw energy consumption less than or equal
to the following values as measured in accordance with the test requirements of
that specification:
(a) 0.16
kilowatt-hours per day for cold-only units and cook and cold units;
(b) 0.87
kilowatt-hours per day for storage type hot and cold units; and
(c) 0.18
kilowatt-hours per day for on demand hot and cold units.
(2) Commercial
hot food holding cabinets shall have a maximum idle energy rate of 40 watts per
cubic foot of interior volume, as determined by the Idle Energy Rate-dry Test
in ASTM F2140-01, Standard Test Method for Performance of Hot Food Holding
Cabinets published by ASTM International. Interior volume shall be measured in
accordance with the method shown in the United States Environmental Protection
Agencys Energy Star Program Requirements for Commercial Hot Food Holding
Cabinets, as in effect on August 15, 2003.
(3) Compact audio
products may not use more than two watts in standby passive mode for those
without a permanently illuminated clock display and four watts in standby
passive mode for those with a permanently illuminated clock display, as
measured in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
test method 62087:2002(E), Methods of Measurement for the Power Consumption of
Audio, Video, and Related Equipment.
(4) Digital
versatile disc players and digital versatile disc recorders may not use more
than three watts in standby passive mode, as measured in accordance with
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) test method 62087:2002(E), Methods
of Measurement for the Power Consumption of Audio, Video, and Related
Equipment.
(5) Portable
electric spas manufactured on or after January 1, 2022, must meet the
requirements of the American National Standards Institutes American National
Standard for Portable Electric Spa Energy Efficiency (ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 2019).
(6) A television
manufactured on or after January 1, 2014, must automatically enter television
standby-passive mode after a maximum of 15 minutes without video or audio input
on the selected input mode. A television must enter television standby-passive mode
when turned off with the remote control unit or via an internal signal. The
peak luminance of a television in home mode, or in the default mode as shipped,
may not be less than 65 percent of the peak luminance of the retail mode or the
brightest selectable preset mode of the television. A television must meet the
standards in the following table:
