内容概述: 修订的1975年能源政策与节约法案（EPCA）规定了各种消费产品和商业及工业设备节能标准，包括住宅热水器。EPCA还要求美国能源部(DOE)确定更严格地修订这类产品标准是否技术上可行、经济上合理，并且能够节约大量能源。因此，2010年4月能源部(DOE)对几类住宅热水器规定了修订的能源节约标准。在本通报中，能源部(DOE)提出修订住宅热水器的定义，澄清作为太阳能热水器系统二级备用热源的住宅热水器节能标准的适用性。特别是，DOE现提出制定“太阳能辅助化石燃料储水式热水器”和“太阳能辅助电储水式热水器”的定义，澄清符合这些定义的热水器不受2010年4月最终法规规定的修订的住宅热水器节能标准的管辖。

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.
