Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016

Version of section 259 from 2016-12-09 to 2017-06-27:
 

The following provision is not in force.

Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards

  • 259 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of the table to this section apply to gas furnaces described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.

  • Marginal note:Testing standard

    (2) A gas furnace complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by the standard set out in column 2 that are applicable to a gas furnace as defined in section 257.
