Sa partikular, pinapawalang-bisa ng joint resolution ang isang alituntunin na pinamagatang \"Programa sa Pagtitipid ng Enerhiya para sa mga Pamantayan ng Kagamitan: Mga Kinakailangan sa Sertipikasyon, Mga Kinakailangan sa Paglalagay ng Label, at Mga Probisyon sa Pagpapatupad para sa Ilang Produkto ng Konsyumer at Kagamitang Komersyal\" na inilathala ng Kagawaran ng Enerhiya (DOE) noong Oktubre 9, 2024. Sa ilalim ng alituntunin, binago ng DOE ang mga regulasyon nito sa episensiya ng enerhiya ng ilang uri ng mga produkto ng konsyumer (hal., mga washing machine at dishwasher) at kagamitang industriyal (hal., mga air conditioner ng computer room). Binago ng DOE ang mga kinakailangan sa sertipikasyon, paglalagay ng label, at mga probisyon sa pagpapatupad para sa mga produkto at kagamitang ito upang (1) itugma ang mga kinakailangan sa pag-uulat sa mga kasalukuyang naaangkop na pamantayan sa pagtitipid ng enerhiya at pamamaraan ng pagsusuri, at (2) bigyan ang DOE ng impormasyong kailangan upang matukoy ang naaangkop na klasipikasyon ng mga produkto para sa aplikasyon ng mga pamantayan.","displaySummary":"<p><strong>YVN Summary</strong></p>\n\n<p>Shopping for a washing machine or dishwasher works the same as before.
