AHRI files petition for review of DOE walk-in cooler, freezer efficiency rule
AHRI has filed a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) final rule regarding energy conservation standards for commercial walk-in coolers and freezers (WICF). Prior to this petition for judicial review, the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute submitted a petition to DOE for reconsideration under the Administrative Procedures Act, requesting that the agency correct errors in the final rule.
“We are hopeful that the petition for reconsideration will lead to corrections in the final rule, and that the petition for review will be unnecessary,” said AHRI President and CEO Stephen Yurek.
