DOE Sets Tougher Energy Efficiency Standards for Commercial Icemakers

The Energy Department is amending energy efficiency standards on commercial ice makers, in a final rule (here). The agency is setting more stringent standards for commercial ice makers already covered by DOE regulations, and is also setting new energy efficiency standards for higher capacity icemakers and certain types of batch machines, like tube-type icemakers. Compliance with the new energy efficiency standards is required by Jan. 28, 2018.
