SUBDIVISION BOil-Fired Boilers
Marginal note:Definitions
319 The following definitions apply in this Subdivision.
- CSA B212
CSA B212 means the CSA standard CSA-B212-93 entitled Seasonal Energy Utilization Efficiencies of Oil-Fired Furnaces and Boilers. (CSA B212)
- oil-fired boiler
oil-fired boiler means a boiler that is intended for application in a low pressure steam, or hot water, central heating system, has an input rate of less than 2 930.71 kW (10,000,000 Btu/h) and is
(a) exclusively oil-fired; or
(b) capable of being fired, at the choice of the user, by either oil or another fuel. (chaudière à mazout)
Marginal note:Type
319.1 For the purpose of these Regulations, an oil-fired boiler is one of the following types:
(a) household, if it has an input rate of less than 87.92 kW (300,000 Btu/h); or
(b) commercial, if it is has an input rate of greater than or equal to 87.92 kW (300,000 Btu/h) but not more than 2 930.71 kW (10,000,000 Btu/h).
Marginal note:Energy-using product
320 (1) An oil-fired boiler is prescribed as an energy-using product.
Marginal note:Limits
(2) However, an oil-fired boiler is not considered to be an energy-using product
(a) for the purpose of section 4, unless
(i) it is a household oil-fired boiler that is manufactured on or after June 30, 1999, or
(ii) it is a commercial oil-fired boiler that is manufactured on or after January 1, 2025; and
(b) for the purposes of sections 5 and 321, unless
(i) it is a household oil-fired boiler that is manufactured on or after December 31, 1998, or
(ii) it is a commercial oil-fired boiler that is manufactured on or after January 1, 2025.
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards — household
321 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of Table 1 to this section apply to household oil-fired boilers described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.
Marginal note:Testing standard — household
(2) A household oil-fired boiler 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 of Table 1 that are applicable to an oil-fired boiler as defined in section 319.
Marginal note:Energy-efficiency standards — commercial
(3) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 2 of Table 2 to this section apply to commercial oil-fired boilers described in column 1 that are manufactured on or after January 1, 2025.
Marginal note:Testing Standard — commercial
(4) A commercial oil-fired boiler complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by 10 C.F.R. Appendix A that are applicable to an oil-fired boiler as defined in section 319.
