efficiency standards
Minimum output requirements
Efficiency standards are regulations that specify minimum performance requirements for products, buildings, or processes—typically how much useful output must be achieved per unit of energy consumed.
Appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners must meet federal efficiency standards before they can be sold.
Vehicle efficiency standards mandate minimum fuel economy.
The term extends beyond energy: water efficiency standards for toilets and showerheads.
