oh, wait! found one necessary component that will make all of our lives easier. please turn to page 3243 and lay witness to:
3 SEC. 1008. MODIFICATIONS TO THE CEILING FAN ENERGY
4 CONSERVATION STANDARD.
5 (a) IN GENERAL.—Section 325(ff)(6) of the Energy
6 Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6295(ff)(6)) is
7 amended by adding at the end the following:
8 ‘‘(C)(i) Large-diameter ceiling fans manufactured on
9 or after January 21, 2020, shall—
10 ‘‘(I) not be required to meet minimum ceiling
11 fan efficiency in terms of ratio of the total airflow
12 to the total power consumption as described in the
13 final rule titled ‘Energy Conservation Program: En14 ergy Conservation Standards for Ceiling Fans’ (82
15 Fed. Reg. 6826 (January 19, 2017)); and
16 ‘‘(II) have a CFEI greater than or equal to—
17 ‘‘(aa) 1.00 at high speed; and
18 ‘‘(bb) 1.31 at 40 percent speed or the
19 nearest speed that is not less than 40 percent
20 speed.
21 ‘‘(ii) For purposes of this subparagraph, the term
22 ‘CFEI’ means the Fan Energy Index for large-diameter
23 ceiling fans, calculated in accordance with ANSI/AMCA
24 Standard 208–18 titled ‘Calculation of the Fan Energy
25 Index’, with the following modifications:
‘‘(I) Using an Airflow Constant (Q0) of 26,500
2 cubic feet per minute.
3 ‘‘(II) Using a Pressure Constant (P0) of 0.0027
4 inches water gauge.
5 ‘‘(III) Using a Fan Efficiency Constant (η0) of
6 42 percent.’’.
7 (b) REVISION.—For purposes of section 325(m) of
8 the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C.
9 6295(m)), the standard established in section
10 325(ff)(6)(C) of such Act (as added by subsection (a) of
11 this section) shall be treated as if such standard was
