Intertek Becomes First US Lab to Complete Demand Response Testing for Room Air Conditioners

Business Wire
Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider to industries
worldwide, announces the completion of its first project using the
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® Test Method to
Validate Demand Response for Room Air Conditioners. Intertek is the
first laboratory in the US to complete demand response testing,
which allows products to receive wireless communications to better
control energy usage, on an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning) system.
Demand Response is an optional testing method that allows energy
companies to send signals to electrical equipment and appliances
throughout the day, telling them to use less energy when necessary.
Products with this technology require communications testing, in
addition to required electrical safety certification and energy
efficiency validations. Intertek’s first completed project on an
HVAC system has the potential to be applied to other appliances
used in the home and commercial settings to help improve energy
efficiency and usage. In addition to compliance testing on
products, Intertek’s Assurance program includes consulting services
on product development during the R&D stage.
Sunny Rai, Senior Vice President at Intertek said: “Intertek has
always focused on bringing an innovative approach to our Total
Quality Assurance solutions for the customers we serve. We are
pleased to bring our expertise in energy efficiency, HVAC and
appliance testing and certification to aide this important program
that is pioneering technology for multiple industries.”
