內容概述: 修訂的1975年能源政策與節約法案（EPCA）規定了各種消費產品和商業及工業設備節能標準，包括住宅熱水器。EPCA還要求美國能源部(DOE)確定更嚴格地修訂這類產品標準是否技術上可行、經濟上合理，并且能夠節約大量能源。因此，2010年4月能源部(DOE)對幾類住宅熱水器規定了修訂的能源節約標準。在本通報中，能源部(DOE)提出修訂住宅熱水器的定義，澄清作為太陽能熱水器系統二級備用熱源的住宅熱水器節能標準的適用性。特別是，DOE現提出制定“太陽能輔助化石燃料儲水式熱水器”和“太陽能輔助電儲水式熱水器”的定義，澄清符合這些定義的熱水器不受2010年4月最終法規規定的修訂的住宅熱水器節能標準的管轄。

Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document: Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Definitions for Residential Water Heaters (12 pages, in English)

Description of content: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential water heaters. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether more stringent amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. Accordingly, DOE established amended energy conservation standards for several classes of residential water heaters in an April 2010 final rule. In this notice, DOE proposes to amend its definitions pertaining to residential water heaters and to clarify the applicability of energy conservation standards for residential water heaters that are utilized as a secondary back-up heat source in solar-thermal water heating systems. Specifically, DOE is proposing to create a definition for "solar-assisted fossil fuel storage water heater" and "solar-assisted electric storage water heater'' and clarify that water heaters meeting these definitions are not subject to the amended energy conservation standards for residential water heaters established by the April 2010 final rule.
