Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers Test Procedure Rulemaking

This page presents information on the test procedures and rulemakings for walk-in coolers and freezers.

Section 312(c) of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) amends section 343(a) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA) (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)) by adding subsection 343(a)(9) (42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(9)), which establishes test procedure definitions for walk-in coolers and freezers. It also directs the Secretary of Energy to establish test procedures to measure the energy use of this equipment.

DOE test procedures may reference portions of test procedures and definitions from relevant sources, such as those developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers; the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute; the American Society for Testing and Materials; and the American National Standards Institute.
