Welcome to the NEEP State Appliance Standards Database (SASD) and implementation/enforcement toolkit.
Adopting the most recent codes and appliance standards is essential to ensure that our communities are comprised of healthy and resilient homes and buildings. The database and associated toolkit fulfill the need for holistic and equitable solutions for improving the adoption, implementation, and enforcement of appliance standards and other related policies.
Why SASD?
SASD assists in promoting the adoption, implementation, and enforcement of energy- and water-efficient appliances—the database supplements existing state standards databases such as the MAEDbS. The California Energy Commission's (CEC) product database – the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS) – contains data for all products that meet California Law Title 20 Standards. To streamline implementation across jurisdictions, MAEDbs also allows products outside the scope of California's Title 20 regulations to be listed within voluntary data fields. SASD fills a gap between Californias highest efficiency standards and products that meet DOE Energy Star and EPA Water Sense standards; and other advanced energy and water appliance standards.
SASD will grow to include new product categories not covered by federal or California standards. New tools and guidance based on the needs of states and other stakeholders will also be added to the implementation and enforcement toolkit.
