APPENDIX A TO PART 450-ENERGY PRICE PROJECTIONS APPENDIX B TO PART 450-DISCOUNT FACTORS APPENDIX C TO PART 450-FACTORS TO ADJUST FUTURE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS TO BASE YEAR EQUIVALENT VALUES AUTHORITY: Part C of title III, Energy Policy and Conservation Act, (42 U.S.C. 6321 et seq.), as amended by part B of title IV, Energy Conservation and Production Act, and parts G and H of title III, Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as added by title III of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, 92 Stat. 3206 et seq.; Department of Energy Organization Act, (42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.) SOURCE: 42 FR 33162, June 29, 1977, unless otherwise noted. Subpart A-General Provisions $450.1 Purpose and scope. (a) This part designates energy measures and the types of, and requirements for, energy audits as required by the Department of Energy, pursuant to section 432(d) of the Energy Conservation and Production Act, Pub. L. 94385, 90 Stat. 1125 et seq., which adds section 365(e) (1) and (2), 42 U.S.C. 6325(e) (1) and (2), to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, 42 U.S.C. 6201 et seq. (b) This part also contains the projections of future energy prices which shall be used in calculating the changes in energy costs which will result from installation of a particular modification in a building or industrial plant, and includes the criteria for determining whether the installation of a particular modication meets certain requirements of the Act for designation as an energy measure. (c) This part also provides the requirements for the conduct of preliminary energy audits and energy audits in accordance with section 393 and section 400 C of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Pub. L. 94-163, 42 U.S.C. 6321, as amended by title III of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, Pub. L. 95-619, 92 Stat. 3206 et seq. [42 FR 37800, July 25, 1977, as amended at 44 FR 19350, Apr. 2, 1979] $450.2 Uses of energy audit procedures. The requirements of this part shall be used (a) To establish minimum requirements for the type of energy audit to be carried out under a supplemental plan; (b) To provide a process to measure the energy and cost savings to be derived from the installation or implementation of an energy measure; and (c) To provide a process to identify a modification as an energy measure for purposes of the Act. (d) To establish minimum requirements for the preliminary energy audits and energy audits to be carried out under the program of financial assistance for schools and hospitals and the program of financial assistance for units of local government and public care institutions. [42 FR 33162, June 29, 1977, as amended at 44 FR 19350, Apr. 2, 1979] $450.3 Definitions. As used in this part Act means the Energy Conservation and Production Act, Pub. L. 94-385, 42 U.S.C. 6325. ANSI Standard means a standard prescribed by the American National Standards Institute. Appliance means an energy consuming article or device designed for household use, the primary purpose of which is labor saving or personal convenience and which, although connected to public utilities servicing a building, is not attached to the building in such a way that it would be considered part of the building or building system; for example, room air-conditioners, room heat pumps, room heat ers, refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, clothes washers and dryers, dishwashers, kitchen ranges and ovens, and television sets. Energy consuming articles or devices not classified as an appliance and considered part of a building or building system include, but are not limited to, water heaters, central heat pumps, central air-conditioners, and central heating units. Approved means, with respect to an energy measure, any modification which is included on the list of energy measures published by DOE pursuant to section 365(e)(1), 42 U.S.C. 6325(e)(1), of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. ASTM Standard means a standard prescribed by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Attributed Life means, with respect to an energy conservation measure, the time period which is equal to either the useful life or 15 years, whichever is less or, with respect to a renewable-resource energy measure, the time period which is equal to either the useful life or 25 years, whichever is less. Auditor means any person who conducts an energy audit and certifies it to be in conformance with this regulation. British Thermal Unit means the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water from 59.5 to 60.5 degrees Fahrenheit at one atmosphere of pressure. Btu means British thermal unit or units. Building means any structure which includes provisions for a heating or cooling system, or both, or a hot water system, and which was constructed prior to August 14, 1976. Building Envelope means all external building surfaces, such as walls, doors, windows, roof, and floors in contact with the ground, which are affected by weather. Climatic Zone means a geographical area of the United States designated by DOE. Compressor Hours means the average number of hours which an air conditioning compressor must operate to provide the cooling needed for space conditioning for a cooling zone. Cooling degree days means the annual sum of the number of Fahrenheit de |
