USA - Energy Conservation Program: Proposed Determination of Air Cleaners as a Covered Consumer Product

The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") has tentatively determined that air cleaners qualify as a covered product under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA"), as amended. DOE has tentatively determined that coverage of air cleaners is necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of EPCA, and that the average U.S. household energy use for air cleaners is likely to exceed 100 kilowatt-hours per year.
