The Department of Energy (DOE) is asking for public input on the math and models it uses to set energy conservation standards. These standards dictate how much energy products—like appliances or industrial equipment—are allowed to use.
Why it matters: This is a procedural step. Before the DOE changes how it calculates future energy requirements, it is checking to see if its current math and logic are sound or if they need updating based on new scientific data.
Who it affects
- Manufacturers of appliances and industrial equipment
