{"abstract":"This notice publishes the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) decision and order in Case No. CAC-024. DOE grants a waiver to Daikin from the existing DOE test procedure applicable to residential central air conditioners and heat pumps. The waiver request is specific to the Daikin Altherma air-to-water heat pump with integrated domestic water heating. The test method for central air conditioners and heat pumps contained in 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix M does not include any provisions to account for the operational characteristics of an air-to-water heat pump, or any central air-conditioning heat pump with an integrated domestic hot water component. As a condition of this waiver, Daikin must test and rate its Altherma heat pump products according to the alternate test procedure set forth in this notice.","action":"Decision and order.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy","name":"Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office","id":137,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-efficiency-and-renewable-energy-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/137","parent_id":136,"slug":"energy-efficiency-and-renewable-energy-office"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/06/18/2010-14756.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"75 FR 34731","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This decision and order is effective June 18, 2010.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Case No. CAC-024"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2010-14756","effective_on":"2010-06-18","end_page":34733,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2010/06/18/2010-14756.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/06/18/2010-14756/energy-conservation-program-for-consumer-products-decision-and-order-granting-a-waiver-to-daikin-ac","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2010-14756?publication_date=2010-06-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2010-06-18/2010-14756/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":157,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-06-18/pdf/2010-14756.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-06-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2010/06/18/2010-14756.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2010-06-21T17:08:06Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":34731,"subtype":null,"title":"Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Decision and Order Granting a Waiver to Daikin AC (Americas), Inc.
