Federal Energy Management and Planning Programs
This regulation establishes federal energy management and planning programs requiring federal agencies to reduce energy consumption in federal buildings by at least 10% per gross square foot by 1995 compared to 1985 baseline. It sets methodology for life cycle cost analyses of building energy systems, water systems, and conservation measures; promotes energy savings performance contracts for private investment in facility retrofits; and requires efficiency considerations in federal building leases.
Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment
10 CFR Part 429 establishes procedures for certification, compliance determination, and enforcement of energy conservation standards for consumer products and commercial/industrial equipment including HVAC systems, boilers, refrigeration equipment, and electric motors. Manufacturers must comply with applicable energy conservation standards from 10 CFR Parts 430 and 431, with certification conducted by independent, nationally recognized programs following ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST standards.
Energy Code for New Federal Commercial and Multi-Family High Rise Residential Buildings
10 CFR Part 434 establishes minimum energy efficiency standards for design of new Federal commercial and multi-family high-rise residential buildings where design began before January 3, 2007. Based on ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1989, it mandates efficiency requirements for building envelopes, electrical distribution, lighting, HVAC, water heating, and energy management systems, excluding buildings under 100 sq ft or those with minimal conditioning loads.
Energy Efficiency Program for Certain Commercial and Industrial Equipment
This regulation establishes energy efficiency standards and requirements for commercial and industrial equipment including HVAC systems, water heaters, electric motors, refrigeration units, and lighting products under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. It defines covered equipment categories and establishes testing methods and efficiency determination procedures for manufacturers to comply with DOE energy conservation standards.
State Energy Program
This regulation establishes the State Energy Program under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, providing federal financial and technical assistance to states to promote energy conservation, reduce energy demand growth, and decrease dependence on imported oil. The program supports comprehensive state energy initiatives including building energy efficiency standards, alternative transportation fuels, and energy audit measures.
Weatherization Assistance for Low-Income Persons
10 CFR Part 440 establishes a federal weatherization assistance program providing grants to improve energy efficiency of low-income households, with particular focus on vulnerable populations (elderly, disabled, high-burden families). It sets administrative requirements for states, tribes, and subgrantees regarding grant compliance, intergovernmental coordination, and FOIA-compliant treatment of applicant and recipient information, with provisions balancing privacy protections against public interest disclosure.
Energy Efficiency Standards for the Design and Construction of New Federal Commercial and Multi-Family High-Rise Residential Buildings
10 CFR Part 433 establishes energy efficiency performance standards for new Federal commercial and multi-family high-rise residential buildings with design start dates after January 3, 2007. It sets maximum fossil fuel-generated energy consumption limits for buildings and major renovations commencing after May 1, 2025, and requires green building certification for projects beginning after October 14, 2015. Standards reference ASHRAE 90.1 baseline buildings from 2004 through 2019.
Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturer Assistance Program
The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturer Assistance Program (10 CFR Part 611) establishes DOE loan assistance for manufacturing facilities producing advanced technology vehicles and qualifying components. Eligible projects include reequipping or establishing U.S. manufacturing facilities, engineering integration work, and critical minerals processing for vehicle supply chains. The program, authorized under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and expanded by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, provides federal loans through the Federal Financing Bank to support domestic production of fuel-efficient and advanced technology vehicles.
Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Program; Petroleum-Equivalent Fuel Economy Calculation
This regulation establishes the methodology for calculating petroleum-equivalent fuel economy values for electric vehicles, required under 49 U.S.C. 32904(a)(2). The calculation uses combined energy consumption data from EPA-standardized urban and highway driving cycles (weighted 55/45 percent), dividing a petroleum-equivalency factor (12,307 Watt-hours per gallon, adjusted if petroleum-powered accessories are present) by the combined energy consumption value to produce miles-per-gallon equivalents for corporate average fuel economy reporting.
Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products
10 CFR Part 430 establishes the federal energy conservation program for consumer products under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The regulation defines key terms and establishes testing procedures and efficiency standards for appliances including refrigerators, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, clothes washers, and lighting products. Manufacturers must comply with prescribed efficiency metrics and test procedures to demonstrate product compliance.
Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Homes
10 CFR Part 460 establishes mandatory energy conservation standards for manufactured homes produced at the factory prior to distribution. Manufacturers must comply with requirements based on staggered effective dates (60 and 180 days after publication of enforcement procedures). Standards reference the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code and define key terms related to building thermal envelopes, air barriers, conditioned/unconditioned spaces, and HVAC systems.
Energy Efficiency Standards for the Design and Construction of New Federal Low-Rise Residential Buildings
10 CFR Part 435 establishes mandatory energy efficiency performance standards for new Federal low-rise residential buildings and major renovations, including maximum allowable fossil fuel-generated energy consumption limits for projects with design-for-construction dates on or after May 1, 2025, and green building certification requirements for projects beginning on or after October 14, 2015. Standards apply to EISA-subject buildings exceeding $2.5 million (adjusted annually).
