Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016
Version of section 259 from 2017-06-28 to 2019-04-29:
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.
