Rulemaking.aspx
NEED FOR THE RULE(S):
Appliance standards are an important energy-saving tool as new buildings progressively become more efficient and as 
an increasing share of energy consumption comes from the products and appliances that are “plugged in” or movable, 
often called the “plug load.” Residential and commercial building energy codes have traditionally regulated space 
conditioning, water heating, and the building envelope, but not appliances. These proposed rule changes would support 
Page 1 of 21energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reductions to address this portion of consumer energy consumption. 
 
 
While some appliance efficiency standards are set at the federal level, there are also products that do not yet have a 
national standard and for which a new state standard could achieve meaningful energy and water savings and 
greenhouse gas reductions. Oregon has periodically enacted energy efficiency standards for products as a method of 
saving consumers money and saving energy. In 2005 Oregon established its first appliance energy efficiency standards 
for 11 product categories. In 2007 Oregon added six more product categories and in 2013 added three more. Often, 
federal standards are later modeled after standards that were first enacted at the state level, and, once adopted, federal 
standards preempt state standards for those products. Thirteen of the products for which Oregon has established 
standards have since seen standards adopted by the federal government. 
 
 
Product technology continues to develop. Equipment that is more energy efficient than previous versions is available in 
the market across various product categories. There has recently been activity among multiple states, on the west coast 
as well as in other regions, to establish new or updated energy standards for products. California has been the most 
active state in developing and adopting efficiency standards for product categories that are not federally preempted. 
Washington state has also recently established efficiency standards for a host of products, many modeled after 
California. Vermont, Colorado, and Hawaii are other states that have recently adopted energy efficiency standards. 
 
 
Oregon’s standards for equipment have largely been based on similar standards developed for the large west coast 
market for appliances, but Oregon has not updated its standards or added new categories in over six years. By updating 
and establishing new state standards, Oregon would increase uniformity of standards across the western market, 
reduce marketplace confusion, promote energy conservation for Oregon consumers, and provide alignment and 
harmonization with Washington and California markets. 
 
 
ODOE produced a November 2018 Report, entitled "Improving State Standards for Appliances," in compliance with 
Executive Order 17-20, that leveraged existing research to identify state-specific opportunities for new appliance 
standards. In particular, ODOE looked at the work of other states, the Appliance Standards Awareness Project, 
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and the Pacific Coast 
Collaborative (which includes California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia), to provide a high-level review of 
Oregon opportunities. ODOE staff coupled this review with outreach to engage stakeholders and industry 
representatives in discussions about Oregon’s process for adopting and reviewing appliance standards. ODOE also 
reviewed existing research, information, analysis, and methodology, which was modified where appropriate to consider 
Oregon-specific variables such as emissions rates. 
 
 
Executive Order 20-04, issued by Governor Kate Brown on March 10, 2020, in turn leveraged ODOE’s work and 
directed ODOE to establish energy efficiency standards in rule for a specific list of products. ORS 469.261 requires that, 
after ODOE completes rulemaking to establish or update appliance efficiency standards, legislation conforming the 
standards in statute to the new or modified standards in rule must be introduced in the following Legislative Assembly. 
ODOE plans to introduce a legislative concept for the 2021 Legislative session to complete this process.

FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT:
The department anticipates the adoption of energy efficiency standards through the proposed rules will have a positive 
economic impact by saving consumers money on their utility bills. Staff analysis found that updating and establishing 
efficiency standards for the products identified in Executive Order 17-20 could, in the year 2025, result in annual 
savings of $35,200,000 on utility bills. By 2035, Oregonians could save $101,200,000 on their utility bills. 
COST OF COMPLIANCE: 
(1) Identify any state agencies, units of local government, and members of the public likely to be economically affected by the 
rule(s). (2) Effect on Small Businesses: (a) Estimate the number and type of small businesses subject to the rule(s); (b) Describe the 
expected reporting, recordkeeping and administrative activities and cost required to comply with the rule(s); (c) Estimate the cost 
of professional services, equipment supplies, labor and increased administration required to comply with the rule(s).
(1) Identify any state agencies, units of local government, and members of the public likely to be economically affected 
by the rule(s): State agencies, local governments and members of the public who purchase and use products subject to 
these standards are likely to be economically affected by the rules. For several of the affected products, there is no 
incremental cost for product models that meet the proposed standards. In these cases, cost differences are more driven 
by customer preferences for certain brands, materials or styles, etc., that are unrelated to energy efficiency. For 
affected products where the initial purchase price is higher for more efficient models, market analysis has found an 
attractive benefit-to-cost ratio (greater than one), meaning that users of more energy efficient products will experience 
lower utility bills that will more than make up for any initial cost differences within the expected life of the product. In 
the current economic environment amid COVID-19 concerns, ODOE is sensitive to the economic impacts of regulation 
and views these standards as a means of consumer protection to save money on utility bills and produce a positive 
economic benefit. Additionally, these standards would not go into effect until January 1, 2022, at the earliest. 
 
 
Businesses that manufacture affected equipment are likely to be economically affected by the rules; however, the new 
and updated energy efficiency standards in the proposed rules have already been adopted by other West Coast states. 
Manufacturers are already making equipment meeting the proposed standards, and such equipment is already readily 
available to consumers and achieving substantial market share. As more states adopt higher energy efficiency 
standards, manufacturers may opt to discontinue models that do not meet the new standards. 
 
 
Businesses that sell and/or install products affected by the proposed standards are likely to see no or minimal economic 
effects from the rules. Since the effective date of the new standards applies to the manufacture date, at some point 
dealers will receive from manufacturers only new stock that meets or exceeds the new and updated standards. 
However, dealers and installers will not be prohibited from selling or installing inventory that was manufactured before 
the effective date. Additionally, consumers and members of the public will not be required to replace non-compliant 
equipment that is still in-service. These standards apply only to equipment that is manufactured after the effective date 
and subsequently sold, offered for sale, or installed in Oregon. 
 
 
Page 3 of 21(2)	Effect on small businesses: (a) Estimate the number and type of small businesses subject to the rules. The 
department is not aware of any small businesses in the state that manufacture the products affected by the new and 
updated standards. Many dealers and installers of the affected products are small businesses; however, as noted above, 
dealers and installers may continue to sell and/or install any products in inventory that do not meet the new or updated 
standards, and will continue to have the ability to sell products that meet the newly proposed standards. Equipment 
meeting the proposed standards is already readily available in the marketplace. 
 
 
(b) Describe the expected reporting, recordkeeping and administrative activities and cost required to comply with the 
rules. Manufacturers of affected products are already required to meet energy efficiency standards, as well as 
registration and labeling requirements, in either California, Washington, or both states. The department has tried to 
minimize any additional compliance costs for these rule changes by adopting only energy efficiency standards that are 
already adopted in at least one neighboring state and by allowing compliance requirements already adopted in another 
state, such as listing compliant products in a designated registration database, to count as compliance with Oregon 
regulations. As noted above, dealers and installers of the affected products may continue to sell and/or install products 
in inventory not meeting the new or updated standards, as well as products that meet the new standards. Dealers and 
installers will not be required to engage in any new reporting, recordkeeping or administrative activities in order to 
comply with these rules. 
 
 
(c) Estimate the cost of professional services, equipment supplies, labor and increased administration required to 
comply with the rules. The department anticipates minimal, if any, additional expenses for businesses to comply with 
Oregon standards. As noted above, the department has tried to minimize compliance costs for product manufacturers 
by duplicating energy efficiency standards and compliance requirements, such as registration and labeling, already in 
place in neighboring states.
DESCRIBE HOW SMALL BUSINESSES WERE INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE RULE(S):
The department actively invited stakeholders who have expressed interest in past appliance energy efficiency standard 
actions, as well as other known interested parties specific to product categories and those who commented on similar 
standards recently in Washington state, to its May 2020 stakeholder meeting. While a few small businesses have signed 
up directly on the department’s distribution list, ODOE direct outreach has included general interest business 
associations and trade associations that represent businesses of all sizes who manufacture, sell or install the affected 
products.
WAS AN ADMINISTRATIVE RULE ADVISORY COMMITTEE CONSULTED?  NO   IF NOT, WHY NOT?
Rather than appointing a formal rule advisory committee to cover all affected product categories, the department opted 
to reach out to, and encourage input from, all stakeholders who have expressed an interest in state energy efficiency 
standards. In May 2020, the department invited all interested stakeholders to an all-day meeting to discuss the 
proposed new standards, providing remote access via telephone and webinar due to COVID-19 office closures. Because 
this rulemaking concerns new or updated standards for at least ten products, the department structured the meeting to 
include a general discussion in the morning and sequential sessions for individual products in the afternoon. This 
structure allowed time for questions and discussion about the rulemaking in general as well as an opportunity for the 
department to hear from stakeholders with more focused interests in only one or a few products. Approximately 40 
stakeholders joined the morning session, while between 12 and 25 stakeholders joined for each of the afternoon 
sessions for individual products. The department has also urged stakeholders to reach out directly if they were unable 
to participate in the meeting, and has received comments from several individual stakeholders.
Page 4 of 21HOUSING IMPACT STATEMENT:
As required under ORS 183.530 and 183.534, the Department has considered the potential impact of these rules and 
believes these rules will cause no impact to the following costs for developing a typical 1,200 square foot detached 
single-family dwelling on a 6,000 square foot parcel of land: 
(1) materials and labor costs 
(2) administrative construction or other costs 
(3) land costs, or 
(4) other costs.
