Standards

  • Technical Support Document - Draft Appendix N: Small Duct, High Velocity Systems (PDF 1.4 MB)

  • Draft Residential Central Air Conditioner, Small Duct, High Velocity (SDHV) Systems Standards Rulemaking: Engineering Analysis (PDF 751 KB)

  • Draft Residential Central Air Conditioner, Small Duct, High Velocity (SDHV) Systems Standards Rulemaking: Calculator (MS Excel 1.4 MB) — These spreadsheets show how DOE generated cost-efficiency curves for SDHV systems. Introduction on sheet one.

  • Draft Residential Central Air Conditioner, Small Duct, High Velocity (SDHV) Systems Standards Rulemaking: Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis (PDF 214 KB)

  • Draft Residential Central Air Conditioner, Small Duct, High Velocity (SDHV) Systems Standards Rulemaking: Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Spreadsheet (MS Excel 1.5 MB) — LCC spreadsheets perform calculations to determine LCC and payback periods. The LCC spreadsheets operate in Excel 2000; includes LCC (Sample Calc) sheet and LCC (Simulation) sheet with Excel add-on Crystal Ball.

Test Procedures

  • Draft Residential Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Test Procedure: Background Briefing Materials (PowerPoint 1.2 MB) — What parts of the DOE AC&HP Test Procedure and related CFR Sections should be (re-)evaluated as part of a limited-scope proposed rulemaking? Issues for comment include: cyclic degradation coefficient default, testing options, alternative rating methods, etc.

  • Small Duct, High Velocity (SDHV) System Standards and Residential Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Test Procedure: Presentation Slides (PDF 1.3 MB) — These slides were presented at the December 13, 2002, public workshop.
