About Us

Composed of staff from various academic disciplines, our group offers a broad range of expertise primarily in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Appliance & Equipment Standards program and its statutory mandate to promulgate standards that achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is both technologically feasible and economically justified.

We analyze and report on the impacts and savings potential of energy efficiency standards on a range of products including residential appliances, commercial and industrial equipment, and lighting products.

Our department also constitutes a network of subject experts with strong ties to professional associations related to appliance and equipment efficiency and leading experts and actors in the field.
