This dataset has the following 20 columns:

Column NameAPI Column NameData TypeDescriptionSample Values
ENERGY STAR Unique IDpd_idnumberThe 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.
Brand Namebrand_nametextAn identifier assigned by the manufacturer or private labeler to a product or family/series of products for sales and marketing purposes.
Model Numbermodel_numbertextA distinguishing identifier, usually alphanumeric, assigned to a product by the manufacturer or private labeler.
Additional Model Informationadditional_model_informationtextThis 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.
UPCupctextA Universal Product Code (UPC) is a specific type of barcode for tracking items sold in stores.
Load Configurationload_configurationtextType refers to whether the product is a front-loading washer or a top-loading washer.
Additional Washer Featuresadditional_washer_featurestextFeatures applicable to the clothes washer may include Steam Cycle, Anti-Wrinkle, Gentle Cycle, Delayed Start, Sanitize Option, Hand Wash Cycle, and Supplementary Wash System.
Intended Marketintended_markettextThis refers to whether the product is intended to be sold in the residential market, the commercial/multi-family housing/coin laundry market, or both.
Volume (cu. ft.)volume_cubic_feetnumberThis is the tub capacity of the clothes washer in cubic feet, as measured by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Section 430, Appendix J2.
Modified Energy Factor (MEF)modified_energy_factor_mefnumberMEF is the energy performance metric for ENERGY STAR certified commercial clothes washers. The higher the MEF, the more energy efficient the clothes washer. The metric has units: ft3/kWh/cycle, and is calculated as the quotient of the capacity of the clothes container divided by the total clothes washer energy consumption per cycle, with such energy consumption expressed as the sum of the machine electrical energy consumption, the hot water energy consumption, and the energy required for removal of the remaining moisture in the wash load. For example, if a clothes washer has a tub volume of 4.0 cubic feet and a total clothes washer energy consumption per cycle of 10 kWh/cycle, then the MEF is 2.5.
US Federal Standard (MEF)us_federal_standard_meftextThe mandatory energy efficiency standards for clothes washers, established by DOE rulemaking activities and federal laws.
Annual Energy Use (kWh/yr)annual_energy_use_kwh_yearnumberThis is the estimated annual energy use of the clothes washer under typical conditions, including the energy used by the washer and the energy needed to heat the water used by the clothes washer with an electric water heater. Unlike MEF, the estimated annual energy use does not address how effective the washer is at removing moisture from the wash load and thus reducing the energy needed to fully dry a load in the clothes dryer. It is based on an annual usage of 1,074 loads per year for multi-family and 1,483 loads per year for laundromat applications, or around 21 and 29 loads per week respectively, as referenced by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) test procedure, Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Section 430, Appendix J2. Actual energy consumption will vary depending on various factors such as the amount of laundry done, the size of the loads, and the settings chosen.
Water Factor (WF)water_factor_wfnumberWF is the water performance metric for ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers. The lower the WF, the more efficient the clothes washer. The metric has units: gallons/cycle/ft3, and is calculated as the quotient of total weighted per-cycle water consumption divided by the capacity of the clothes washer. For example, if a clothes washer has a total weighted per-cycle water consumption of 20 gallons and a tub volume of 4.0 cubic feet, then the water factor is 5.0.
US Federal Standard (WF)us_federal_standard_wfnumberThe mandatory water efficiency standards for clothes washers, established by DOE rulemaking activities and federal laws.
Integrated Water Factor (IWF)integrated_water_factor_iwfnumberIWF is the water performance metric for ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers. The lower the IWF, the more efficient the clothes washer. The metric has units: gallons/cycle/ft3, and is calculated as the quotient of total weighted per-cycle water consumption divided by the capacity of the clothes washer. For example, if a clothes washer has a total weighted per-cycle water consumption of 20 gallons and a tub volume of 4.0 cubic feet, then the IWF is 5.0.
US Federal Standard (IWF)us_federal_standard_iwfnumberThe mandatory water efficiency standards for clothes washers, established by DOE rule-making activities and federal laws.
Date Available On Marketdate_available_on_marketcalendar_dateThe date that the model is available for purchase.
Date Certifieddate_qualifiedcalendar_dateThe date on which the product was confirmed to meet the ENERGY STAR specification.
MarketsmarketstextIncludes products sold in the U.S. and/or Canada and other ENERGY STAR partner countries.
CB Model Identifierenergy_star_model_identifiertextA unique string of characters assigned by certification bodies (CBs) to identify a model or set of models with the same performance characteristics. This identifier should remain the same for a model even if it is recertified to a new version of an ENERGY STAR specification. This string of characters is determined by CBs and is not the ENERGY STAR Unique ID assigned by EPA.
