Water Heaters
• ENERGY STAR = 0.67 EF• Since Sept. 2010• Availability• Cost
Furnaces
• 95 AFUE for Northern Tier & Canada. • 85 AFUE for oil furnaces• Fan – electrical efficiency standard• Cabinet Tightness• Effective Nov. 15, 2011• Fewer models• Little cost differential expected
Light Bulbs
• New minimum efficiency standards for light bulbs
• Wx program guidance for ES CFLs
EISA requires Min. Efficiencies

Luminaires
• Combines guidelines:– Residential Light Fixtures– Solid State Lighting Luminaires
• Effective Oct. 1, 2011
• Technology neutral
• Application important
Refrigerators & Freezers
• New, proposed standards for 2014
• 20-25% savings
• Will drive ENERGY STAR higher
Windows, Doors & Skylights
• ENERGY STAR is revising its criteria
• Final spec expected March 2013
• DOE is promoting R-5 Windows– www.windowsvolumepurchase.org– windows, storms & patio doors
Other
• Climate Controls• Dehumidifiers• Heat Recovery Ventilator (Canada only)• Tubular Daylighting Devices• Room AC• TVs• Light Commercial Heating & Cooling• Home Insulation
ENERGY STAR embraces More Testing
• Effective: Jan. 1, 2011 • Refrigerators and Freezers• Furnaces and Boilers• CFLs, Fixtures, LEDs• Dehumidifiers• Ventilating Fans• Water Heaters
Top Tier
• “Super star”
• “Best of”
• Identify the few, most energy efficient products on ENERGY STAR list
• First product classes considered will include Heating equipment and Refrigerators
