Fans and Blowers Removed as Covered Equipment
DOE proposes to withdraw its classification of certain fans and blowers as “covered equipment” under Part A-1 of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). If you make or use these fans, they would no longer have to follow the energy rules that apply to covered equipment, which could change compliance requirements and costs for manufacturers and users.
