There are presently three sets of regulations which apply to the efficiency of appliances. The Appliance Efficiency Standards and Intermittent Ignition Device (IID) Standard apply to the sale of new appliances. IDD regulations also apply to distribution and installation. The Energy Conservation Standards for New Residential Buildings include two sections which refer to the installation in new residential buildings of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment and water heating equipment. These regulations apply to: hotels, motels, apartment houses, lodging houses, dwellings, convents and monasteries (each accommodating more than ten persons). The Energy Conservation Standards for New Nonresidential Buildings include two divisions which refer to the installation in new nonresidential buildings of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment and water heat equipment. These regulations apply to all buildings except: hotels, apartment houses, dwellings, lodging houses, private garages, sheds, agricultural buildings, nurseries, hospitals, sanitariums, nursing homes, children's homes, mental hospitals, mental sanitariums, jails, prisons, and reformatories. The text of these regulations for California are given.
