Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Air-Cooled Commercial Package Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps".

HJRES 189 seeks congressional disapproval of a Department of Energy rule establishing new energy efficiency standards for commercial air conditioners and heat pumps. The rule, published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2024, would have required manufacturers to meet higher efficiency levels for these products. This resolution, if passed, would prevent the rule from taking effect, directly impacting the Department of Energy and commercial HVAC equipment manufacturers. It does not create new requirements but blocks an existing regulatory action.
