NAECA Impact on Gas-Fired Space Heating Equipment. Phase Report September 1991-March 1992

摘要

The report describes a program aimed at preparing the gas industry to provideinput to the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act rulemaking process for furnaces, including mobile home furnaces, and boilers. The Phase I work described herein is aimed at organizing the gas industry by establishing a Technical Advisory Group, visiting manufacturers to determine their needs, establishing liaison with DOE, LBL, GAMA, A.G.A., etc., and setting up provisions to experimentally evaluate design options identified by DOE as means to increase the minimum efficiency levels now in effect by NAECA. Also, a means is in place to transfer the technology to DOE and LBL to influence the Advance Notice Prior to Rulemaking (ANPRM) for furnaces and boilers, and the Notice Prior to Rulemaking (NPRM) for DHE, etc.
