Certified models meet all ENERGY STAR requirements as listed in the Version 5.0 ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Residential Refrigerators and Freezers that are effective as of September 15, 2014. A detailed listing of key efficiency criteria are available at https://www.energystar.gov/products/appliances/refrigerators/key_product_criteria
This dataset has the following 25 columns:
| Column Name | API Column Name | Data Type | Description | Sample Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENERGY STAR Unique ID | pd_id | number | The ENERGY STAR Unique ID (ESUID) is a string of seven numbers EPA assigns to an ENERGY STAR model or set of models with unique performance characteristics. This ESUID is unique to both the model and product specification version and is assigned by EPA upon receipt of certification information from the certification body. Each row within the product list will have a unique ESUID. Developers may wish to use this ESUID to track information on certified models in their information systems. | 2255167 2330835 2398049 2375419 2405461 view top 100 |
| Brand Name | brand_name | text | An identifier assigned by the manufacturer or private labeler to a product or family/series of products for sales and marketing purposes. | Midea Insignia Hisense Miele Gaggenau view top 100 |
| Model Number | model_number | text | A distinguishing, alphanumeric identifier, assigned to a product by the manufacturer or private labeler. The model number may include a wildcard that can be replaced by any letter or digit and still accurately capture what is covered by the model’s ENERGY STAR certification; an asterisk symbol (*) represents a letter, and a number symbol (#) a digit. | DCF070A5WDB DCF050A5WDB WHS-625FWEW1 MCF35W-1 3730-937 view top 100 |
| Additional Model Information | additional_model_information | text | This column includes for the qualified model or family, family members, additional model names, model numbers and other identifying information associated with a product or family/series of products for sales and marketing purposes. Other identifying information includes, but is not limited to, SKUs, UPC codes, retail numbers, and/or descriptions of models included/not included in the reported Model Family. | ,,Freezer function and Refrigerator function were incorporated in the same one product.(Refrigerator/Freezer mode). ,,Tested model HS-507FWEN ,,Network Communication ,,Cosmetic view top 100 |
| UPC | upc | text | UPC codes provided by partners for ENERGY STAR certified products. The brand, model name and model number continue to serve as the identifiers used to establish certification. The UPC code data below is intended to aid in identification of ENERGY STAR models. UPC code data is not provided for all certified models. | 634562714862 810088362507 804467636044 810088366703 view top 100 |
| Type | type | text | Freezers are available in both chest and upright configurations. An upright freezer has a front-mounted door like a refrigerator and shelves that allow for easy organization. A chest freezer typically requires more floor space, but they are also more energy efficient and since the door opens from the top it will allow less cold air to escape. | Upright Freezer Compact Chest Freezer view top 100 |
| Product Class | product_class | text | Classification of products by the type of energy used or by capacity or other performance-related features that affect efficiency. Different ENERGY STAR levels may apply to different product classes. | 9 - Upright freezers with automatic defrost without an automatic ice maker 9I-BI - Built-In upright freezers with automatic defrost with an automatic icemaker 16 - Compact upright freezers with manual defrost 18 - Compact chest freezers 17 - Compact upright freezers with automatic defrost view top 100 |
| Defrost Type | defrost_type | text | Freezers are available with either manual or automatic defrost. Manual defrost freezers use about half the energy of automatic defrost models, but must be defrosted periodically to achieve the energy savings. Don’t allow frost to build up more than one quarter of an inch. | Automatic Manual view top 100 |
| Compact | compact | text | Designation for freezers with a total volume of less than 7.75 cubic feet and 36 inches or less in height. | No Yes view top 100 |
| Built-in | built_in | text | Built-in freezers are designed to be installed totally encased by kitchen cabinets. | No Yes view top 100 |
| Thru the Door Dispenser | thru_the_door_dispenser | text | Indicates if the model has the through-the-door ice feature. It does not indicate whether or not the model has an ice maker. Please contact the manufacturer directly to determine if the model has an ice maker. | No Yes view top 100 |
| Ice Maker | ice_maker | text | Included in some refrigerators for making ice cubes. | No Yes view top 100 |
| Capacity (Total Volume) (ft3) | capacity_total_volume_ft3 | number | The total interior volume of the freezer. Generally, the larger the freezer, the greater the energy consumption. | 17 13.8 21.2 21 7 view top 100 |
| Adjusted Volume (ft3) | adjusted_volume_ft3 | number | This is a figure accounting for the fact that freezers require more energy than refrigerators per unit of actual volume, because they are colder. The adjusted volume is the sum of the fresh food compartment volume and the product of an adjustment factor and the net freezer compartment volume in cubic feet. It's used to determine the federal energy conservation standards for refrigerators and freezers. Refrigerator Adjusted Volume = Fresh Volume + (1.63 x Freezer Volume). Freezer Adjusted Volume = 1.73 x Freezer Volume. | 29.9 24.3 12.3 1.9 37.3 view top 100 |
| Annual Energy Use (kWh/yr) | annual_energy_use_kwh_yr | number | This number is the estimated annual energy use in kilowatt hours of the freezer under typical conditions. Your actual energy consumption will vary depending on how you use your freezer, such as frequency of opening and closing, surrounding room temperature, and how full the unit is kept. This figure is calculated according to U.S. Department of Energy test procedures. | 394 493 438 492 396 view top 100 |
| US Federal Standard (kWh/yr) | us_federal_standard_kwh_yr | number | The U.S. federal standard is the maximum energy consumption in kWh/year allowed by the U.S. Department of Energy for a freezer of this particular configuration and size. | 486 438 242 440 550 view top 100 |
| Percent Less Energy Use than US Federal Standard | percent_less_energy_use_than_us_federal_standard | number | ENERGY STAR certified residential freezers must generally exceed the U.S. federal standard by at least 10%. This column tells you by how much each model exceeds the standard. | 10 11 17 22 15 view top 100 |
