ENERGY STAR 2023
What You Need to Know 2023 REGULATIONS Show
These new regulations are an effort to reduce energy consumption. HVAC manufacturers will be required to produce central air-conditioning and air-source heat pump systems that meet new minimum 2023 energy efficiency standards. The minimum efficiency requirements are changing, but testing regulations that determine efficiencies have also been amended. As a manufacturer, we are investing in engineering, materials and testing to continue to produce compliant products, and have begun a multi-step process to ensure compliance with new 2023 regulations. It is also important that we inform, educate and equip you, our valued customer, with the tools to be successful with this transition to new efficiency standards and equipment requirements. Our customers are always top of mind, and we will continue to support you by producing energy-efficient products that meet the DOE requirements. This document summarizes certain Department of Energy (DOE) regulations applicable to HVAC products as of the date of publication and is not intended to provide legal advice on how to comply with the DOE’s regulations. You should consult with legal counsel to determine the application of the DOE’s regulations to your particular situation and any changes since the publication of this document.

What’s Changing in 2023On January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy (DOE) will enact new minimum efficiency requirements for residential and commercial HVAC equipment.* As a leader in HVAC, we know how valuable it is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We're already making changes to Fraser-Johnston® products to meet the new requirements so you can continue to sell world-class products. Our guidebook provides everything you need to know, including a map that outlines regional minimum efficiency standards. *2023 minimum efficiency requirements apply ONLY to single-phase residential HVAC units; three-phase units are expected to be addressed in 2025.

How often is ENERGY STAR updated?In general, EPA strives to update each ENERGY STAR score at least once every five years. However, because EPA depends on a variety of external sources for the score, including DOE's Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) for many U.S. property types, this is not always possible.
What is a good ENERGY STAR score?The ENERGY STAR score, expressed as a number on a simple 1 - 100 scale, rates performance on a percentile basis: buildings with a score of 50 perform better than 50% of their peers; buildings earning a score of 75 or higher are in the top quartile of energy performance.
What is ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year?ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Awards
This award recognizes ENERGY STAR partner businesses and organizations in good standing that demonstrate superior leadership, innovation, and commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency and ENERGY STAR.
Does ENERGY STAR still exist?ENERGY STAR for the Residential Sector
Nearly three thousand builders, developers, and manufactured housing plants are ENERGY STAR partners, including all of the nation's twenty largest home builders. Over 2.3 million ENERGY STAR certified homes have been built to date, including more than 120,000 in 2021 alone.
