*To calculate maximum energy consumption during standby, measure the gas energy used in one hour (in Btus) and the electrical energy used (in watt‐hours) over a one‐hour period, when the main burner is off. Divide Btus and watt‐hours by one hour to obtain Btus per hour and watts. Divide Btus per hour by 3.412 to obtain watts. Add watts of gas energy to watts of electrical energy to obtain standby energy consumption in watts.

¹ Standby loss is based on a 70°F temperature difference between stored water and ambient requirements. In the standby loss equations, Vr is the rated volume in gallons, Vm is the measured volume in gallons, and
 Q is the nameplate input rate in Btu/hr.
² Water heaters and hot water supply boilers having more than 140 gallons of storage capacity are not required to meet the standby loss requirement if the tank surface is thermally insulated to R‐ 12.5, if a standing pilot light is not installed, and for gas‐ or oil‐fired storage water heaters, there is a flue damper or fan‐assisted combustion.

≥ 6,000 hours as declared by the manufacturer on the packaging. 80% of rated life, statistical methods may be used to confirm lifetime claims based on sampling performance.

¹ Take performance and electrical requirements at the end of the 100‐hour aging period according to ANSI Standard C78.5. The lamp efficacy shall be the average of the lesser of the lumens per watt measured in the base up and/or other specified positions. Use wattages placed on packaging to select proper specification efficacy in this table, not measured wattage. Labeled wattages are for reference only.
² Efficacies are based on measured values for lumens and wattages from pertinent test data. Wattages and lumens placed on packages may not be used in calculation and are not governed by this specification. For multi‐level or dimmable systems, measurements shall be at the highest setting. Acceptable measurement error is ±3%.
