Energy Star Commercial Refrigerator & Freezer Deemed
Calculation Analysis
2
Issues
• Current “base case” specifications for Solid Door Refrigerators and Freezers appear to be set too low
• Current Energy Star specifications for Solid Door Refrigerators and Freezers also appear to be set too low
• Deemed Savings Calculator may be estimating savings that are too optimistic
• No Energy Star specifications for “transparent” door products
