Efficiency Standards ActThe Energy Efficiency Standards Act became effective March 1, 2005. Through this Act, nine separate products became subject to state mandated efficiency standards. These products are torchiere lighting fixtures, unit heaters, low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers, ceiling fans and ceiling fan light kits, red and green traffic signal modules, illuminated exit signs, commercial refrigeration cabinets, large packaged air-conditioning equipment and commercial clothes washers. Gradually, beginning March 1, 2005, new products subject to the Act may only be sold in the State if they meet these energy efficiency standards. |
