What is the difference between a regulated energy performance standard and the ENERGY STAR criteria?
The standards referenced in Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations define test procedures for determining a product’s energy performance and establish minimum energy performance requirements a product must meet in order to be sold in Canada. ENERGY STAR is a separate initiative that uses an internationally recognized symbol to help consumers identify products that not only exceed the minimum energy performance requirements but are among the most energy efficient on the market.
