Dyson Challenges Air Cleaner Energy Tests – DOE Calls for Input
Published Date: 4/30/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
Dyson asked the Department of Energy to change how air cleaners’ room size and energy use are tested and shown to customers. DOE isn’t making changes yet but wants to hear from everyone before deciding. This could affect air cleaner makers and buyers, with possible updates coming after a public review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Petition to Change Manufacturer Test Rules
On September 11, 2024 Dyson asked DOE to revoke the procedures manufacturers use to measure and report air cleaners' effective room size coverage and integrated energy factor. DOE has not revoked or stayed enforcement and is asking for public views on whether to grant the petition and start a rulemaking.
Possible Changes to Consumer Product Information
The petition asks DOE to change how air cleaners' room size and energy use are tested and shown to customers (the "effective room size coverage" and "integrated energy factor"). DOE is not changing enforcement now but is seeking public input on whether to pursue rulemaking that could change what information buyers see about air cleaners.
