California Proposes Amendments to Appliance Energy Efficiency Regulations
California has proposed two amendments to the California Code of Regulations, Title 20. These Appliance Efficiency Regulations were established in 1976 to reduce California's energy consumption and are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods. Twenty-one categories of appliances are included in the scope of these regulations.The regulations apply to appliances sold in California, except those sold wholesale in California for final retail sale outside the state, and those designed and sold exclusively for use in recreational vehicles or other mobile equipment.
