Description (excerpt):

About 40 percent of U.S. homes are heated by natural gas furnaces, making those the most prevalent heating equipment in the country. These appliances represent a significant household expense, and the technology to make them more efficient has existed for quite some time now. Yet the standard that regulates the efficiency of gas furnaces has remained essentially unchanged for 25 years.
