Document Description
adoption of regulatory standards for commercial and industrial fans and blowers (CIFB), which would take effect one year after the CEC adopts the standards. These standards would apply to Commercial and Industrial Fans and Blowers that are greater than or equal to 1 horsepower or without a rated shaft input power, an electrical input power greater than or equal to 1kW, and an air horsepower no greater than 150.
These proposed regulations benefit Californians by promoting the purchase and use of more efficient stand-alone CIFB units in California, thereby avoiding energy consumption that would occur if less efficient equipment was used. The estimated energy savings are approximately 1,755 Gigawatt hours of electricity per year after full stock turnover. Greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation will be reduced commensurate with these savings.
