What is the difference between a regulated energy-performance standard and the ENERGY STAR specification?
Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations establish minimum energy-performance standards and define test procedures to determine a product’s performance. To sell a product in Canada, a manufacturer must show that it meets the minimum standard. The ENERGY STAR program is different: it rates products for energy efficiency and only the most efficient become ENERGY STAR qualified. Products do not have to meet ENERGY STAR specifications and manufacturers do not have to identify products as being ENERGY STAR qualified. They do so voluntarily.
