At the request of the Association for Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and other members of the air cleaner industry, EPA hosted a meeting to discuss and evaluate the potential for an ENERGY STAR specification for room air cleaners. This meeting was held in conjunction with the International Housewares Show in Chicago, IL where many of the air cleaner manufacturers were displaying their products. Representatives from air cleaner manufacturers, AHAM, and ENERGY STAR attended the meeting. Below are all of the documents pertaining to the meeting:
