SMART Energy Efficiency Standards Act
HR 4378, the SMART Energy Efficiency Standards Act, amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to change when efficiency standards apply to certain appliances. It shifts the compliance date from when a product is installed to when it is manufactured or imported into the U.S. This directly affects appliance manufacturers and importers of furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps. The bill ensures these products meet federal efficiency standards at the point of entry into the U.S. market, rather than when installed by consumers.
