LR 1179
Item 1

 
E. For natural gas-fired and propane-fired steam boilers, a
minimum efficiency level of 82%; and

 
F. For oil-fired steam boilers, a minimum efficiency level
of 82%.

 
The commission may adopt rules to exempt compliance with furnace
or boiler standards at any building, site or location if
compliance with those standards would conflict with any local
zoning ordinance, building or plumbing code or other rule
regarding installation and venting of boilers or furnaces.

 
9. Furnace air handlers must have an efficiency ratio of 2.0
percent or less, except that air handlers for oil-fired furnaces
with a capacity of less than 94,000 BTUs per hour must have an
efficiency ratio of 2.3 percent or less.

 
10. High-intensity discharge lamp ballasts may not be
designed or marketed to operate a mercury vapor lamp.

 
11. Illuminated exit signs must have an input power demand of
5 watts or less per illuminated face.

 
12. Large packaged air-conditioning equipment must meet or
exceed the following minimum energy efficiency ratios:

 
A. For air conditioning without an integrated heating
component or with electric resistance heating integrated
into the unit, a minimum energy efficiency ratio of 10.0;

 
B. For air conditioning with heating other than electric
resistance integrated into the unit, a minimum energy
efficiency ratio of 9.8;

 
C. For air-conditioning heat pumps without an integrated
heating component or with electric resistance heating
integrated into the unit, a minimum energy efficiency ratio
of 9.5; and

 
D. For air-conditioning heat pump equipment with heating
other than electric resistance integrated into the unit, a
minimum energy efficiency ratio of 9.3.

 
Large packaged air-conditioning heat pumps must meet a minimum
coefficient of performance in the heating mode of 3.2.

 
13. Low-voltage dry-type distribution transformers must meet
or exceed the Class 1 efficiency levels for low-voltage
distribution transformers specified in Table 4-2 of the "Guide
for Determining Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers"
