The Vendor Must:
Provide commercial ice machines that earn the ENERGY STAR and meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for energy and water efficiency as outlined below. Ice machines that use water-cooled technology as well as flake and nugget ice machines are not eligible for ENERGY STAR under Version 1.0. EPA intends to include flake and nugget ice machines once a test standard is made available and a robust database is established that may be used to derive performance requirements. The vendor is encouraged to visit energystar.gov for complete product specifications and an updated list of qualifying products.
