Feedback posted for the Energy Star 3.0 Spec

The process for water to water is moving forward with Feedback for the Energy Star 3.0 Spec: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=revisions.geothermal_heat_pump_spec (link is fixed)

It doesn't guarantee they are on track for December 1st adoption, but it is encouraging.

That is a bad link.
Here it is-

I am surprised there wasn't more comments especially from the industry.

Oops. Thanks for correcting my post. I fixed the link on the original post as well.

Yes I agree, I expected more industry input. Trane seemed the only one to be complaining about the core specs. And many of the others were trying to get it retroactive to 1/1/2009.

The final draft has been posted at the links mentioned above. Those of us who already have a water to water unit installed this year WILL NOT be elible for the credit. :cry:

Even if the same unit that is currently installed achieves certification, they specifically stated that they can not make the certification retroactive to a unit installed prior to the certification without an act of Congress.
