Section 469.233 - Energy efficiency standards.
The following minimum energy efficiency standards for new products are established:
(1) Bottle-type water dispensers or water coolers manufactured on or after January 1, 2022, and included in the scope of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s "Energy Star Program Requirements Product Specification for Water Coolers, Version 2.0," must have an "on mode with no water draw" energy consumption less than or equal to the following values as measured in accordance with the test requirements of that specification:
(a) 0.16 kilowatt-hours per day for cold-only units and cook and cold units;
(b) 0.87 kilowatt-hours per day for storage type hot and cold units; and
(c) 0.18 kilowatt-hours per day for on demand hot and cold units.
(2) Commercial hot food holding cabinets shall have a maximum idle energy rate of 40 watts per cubic foot of interior volume, as determined by the "Idle Energy Rate-dry Test" in ASTM F2140-01, "Standard Test Method for Performance of Hot Food Holding Cabinets" published by ASTM International. Interior volume shall be measured in accordance with the method shown in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s "Energy Star Program Requirements for Commercial Hot Food Holding Cabinets," as in effect on August 15, 2003.
(3) Compact audio products may not use more than two watts in standby passive mode for those without a permanently illuminated clock display and four watts in standby passive mode for those with a permanently illuminated clock display, as measured in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) test method 62087:2002(E), "Methods of Measurement for the Power Consumption of Audio, Video, and Related Equipment."
(4) Digital versatile disc players and digital versatile disc recorders may not use more than three watts in standby passive mode, as measured in accordance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) test method 62087:2002(E), "Methods of Measurement for the Power Consumption of Audio, Video, and Related Equipment."
(5) Portable electric spas manufactured on or after January 1, 2022, must meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute’s "American National Standard for Portable Electric Spa Energy Efficiency (ANSI/APSP/ICC-14 2019)."
(6) A television manufactured on or after January 1, 2014, must automatically enter television standby-passive mode after a maximum of 15 minutes without video or audio input on the selected input mode. A television must enter television standby-passive mode when turned off with the remote control unit or via an internal signal. The peak luminance of a television in home mode, or in the default mode as shipped, may not be less than 65 percent of the peak luminance of the retail mode or the brightest selectable preset mode of the television. A television must meet the standards in the following table:
