Consumer-products minimum-energy-efficiency standards program. Monthly progress report, 1 October-31 October 1980
An outline is presented of the major tasks and subtasks performed by SAI to provide technical support for the program. The work plan, development of energy efficiency data base, computer model development, field and laboratory test data, analysis of industry-wide energy efficiency data base, technical support to econometric models, rulemaking for minimum energy efficiency standards; technical consultation related to minimum energy efficiency standards; evaluation of foreign appliances energy efficiency test procedures, standards, and selected products are briefly discussed. The selected products include: dishwashers, television sets, clothes washers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and heat pumps. Energy consumption data have been reviewed for the oven product class for Germany, UK, and Italy and physical characteristics data for a large number of products are tabulated. Measuring procedures are noted. US oven test procedures require a different means of measuring energy consumption, but six domestic models have been tested in a similar manner to the European procedures and those data are tabulated and compared with foreign products. Technical progress, meetings, and briefings are reported. (MCW)
