Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards
112 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 2 of the table to this section apply to room air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 3.
Marginal note:Testing standard
(2) A room air conditioner complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets the standard in the following circumstances:
(a) if it was manufactured before June 1, 2014, when it is tested in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C368.1 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108; or
(b) if it is manufactured on or after June 1, 2014, when the CEER is calculated in accordance with subsection (3).
Marginal note:Calculation of CEER
(3) In respect of a room air conditioner that is manufactured on or after June 1, 2014, compliance with the energy efficiency standard is to be determined by calculating the CEER in accordance with one of the following formulae:
(a) if the product has standby mode or off mode, but not both, the CEER must be calculated as follows:
CEER = (3 412 × A × 750) / (B × 750 + C × 5 115)
where
- A
- is the product’s cooling capacity, expressed in kilowatts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C368.1 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108,
- B
- is the product’s on mode power, expressed in watts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C368.1 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108, and
- C
- is the product’s standby mode power or off mode power, as applicable, expressed in watts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C62301 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108; or
(b) if the product has both standby mode and off mode, the CEER must be calculated as follows:
CEER = (3 412 × A × 750) / (B × 750 + C × 2 557.5 + D × 2 557.5)
where
- A
- is the product’s cooling capacity, expressed in kilowatts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C368.1 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108,
- B
- is the product’s on mode power, expressed in watts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C368.1 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108,
- C
- is the product’s standby mode power, expressed in watts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C62301 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108, and
- D
- is the product’s off mode power, expressed in watts, derived by testing the product in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C62301 that are applicable to a room air conditioner as defined in section 108.
