Chart TitleEnergy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) establishes of test procedures, labeling, and energy targets for consumer products. Standards to follow if voluntary targets aren’t met.
EPCA amended. Directs Department of Energy (DOE) to establish energy conservation standards for consumer products.
The National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 (NAECA) establishes minimum efficiency standards for common household appliances and DOE review schedules
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) adds standards for some fluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps, plumbing products, electric motors, commercial water heaters, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. EPAct also authorized DOE to develop of standards for additional products.
Energy Policy Act 2005 sets new standards for 16 products and directed DOE to set standards via rulemaking for another five.
The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA 2007), enacted new or updated standards for 13 products. EISA also included a requirement that DOE maintain a schedule to regularly review and update all standards and test procedures.

More New Standards Set by
Congress
States file lawsuit against DOE for failure to update standards on
mandated schedule
DOE authorized to set efficiency
targets and standards
DOE falls behind on updating over
25 standards
DOE, under court supervised
schedule, gets on track
Current Status
Currently there are minimum energy efficiency standards for more than 50 categories of appliances and equipment.
Products covered by standards represent about 90% of home energy use, 60% of commercial building use, and 29% of industrial energy use.
DOE must now review each product standard every six years to determine whether it should be revised

Conditioners and Heat Pumps Torchiers Traffic and Pedestrian Signal Walk-in Coolers and Walk-In Freezers
Why Federal Efficiency Standards Are Valuable
Lower Cost – Standards produce savings at lower “total cost” because they avoid program administrative costs.
Larger Savings -- Standards effect the entire market while programs effect only a portion of the market resulting in greater total savings for comparable improvements in efficiency
Greater Equity -- The “compliance cost” of meeting a standard is borne by the consumers who benefit from the increased efficiency.

Implication for the Seventh Plan
Compared to the Sixth Plan: Load forecast will be lower, particularly over
the long term Remaining conservation potential will be
lower But not as much lower as the load forecast, since
standard impact all units, but conservation assessment assumes less than 100% program success
Conservation programs will need adjust their focus to measures less impacted by federal standards
