O. Reg. 93/14, s. 2.

Early compliance

2.2 (1) Despite section 2, for the purposes of section 15 of the Act, a person may apply a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply to an appliance or product if it were manufactured on a future date if the person complies with the following rules:

1. The person shall select a notional future date and apply both the testing standard and the efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date.

2. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates a document by reference as of a fixed date, the person shall,

i. use the version of the incorporated document as it reads on the fixed date, and

ii. apply the testing standard or the efficiency standard or requirement set out in the incorporated document that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date referred to in paragraph 1.

3. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates by reference a document as it reads on the date the particular appliance or product is manufactured the person shall,

i. use the version of the incorporated document that is in effect on the actual date the particular product or appliance is manufactured, and

(a) section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation does not provide for a testing standard and an efficiency standard or requirement that would apply to the particular appliance or product on the notional future date selected under paragraph 1 of subsection (1); or

(b) an incorporated document does not set out either a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement that would apply to the particular appliance or product on the notional future date or the actual date, as the case may be. O. Reg. 93/14, s. 2.

Equivalent testing standard

2.3 Where a testing standard is set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation, the person who is to apply the standard may apply a different standard, or a combination of standards or components of standards, as long as the person is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the testing standard, as it pertains to the prescribed efficiency standard or requirement, is equivalent. O. Reg. 298/14, s. 1.

More specific scope of application prevails

2.4 If more than one scope of application set out in the Schedules to this Regulation applies to an appliance or product, the scope of application that applies most specifically to the appliance or product is the one to be applied. O. Reg. 412/15, s. 1.

2.5 Where a Schedule to this Regulation makes reference in a testing standard to Part 430 or 431 of the U.S. DOE 10 Code of Federal Regulations with respect to a date or period, the reference is to be read as incorporating any alternative methods of determining energy efficiency or energy use that, under section 429.70 of that Code and any other provisions of Part 429 referred to in section 429.70, may be applied with respect to Part 430 or 431 as of that date or period, but, for greater certainty, all requirements under sections 3 and 4 of this Regulation continue to apply. O. Reg. 412/15, s. 1.

Waivers and exceptions

2.6 Where a Schedule to this Regulation makes reference in a testing standard or efficiency requirement to U.S. DOE 10 Code of Federal Regulations as it read on the date an appliance or product is manufactured, any waiver or exception to the testing standard or efficiency requirement that applies to the appliance or product under that Code in response to the petition of a manufacturer is also incorporated, subject to any conditions that apply to that waiver or exception.

Scope of application: a large unitary air conditioner or heat pump, as defined in section 2 of this Schedule, and a single-package vertical air conditioner, a single-package vertical heat pump and a large condensing unit, all as defined in the Federal Energy Efficiency Regulations (May 4, 2012 version).  However, heat pumps to which paragraph 5, 6 or 7 of this Schedule applies and packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps that are not single package vertical are excluded.

Note: On January 1, 2018, subparagraph 2.2 iii of section 1 of Schedule 4 to the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted: (See: O. Reg. 448/17, s. 5 (5))

iii. Scope of application: a large unitary air conditioner or heat pump, as defined in section 2 of this Schedule, and a commercial or industrial condensing unit that is intended for air conditioning applications and that has a cooling capacity of at least 19 kW (65,000 Btu/h) but not more than 70 kW (240,000 Btu/h). However, heat pumps to which paragraph 5, 6 or 7 of this Schedule applies are excluded.

iv. Prescribed efficiency standard or requirement:

A. For large condensing units the following requirements, as applicable:

1.  For air-cooled units with cooling capacity ≥ 19 kW and ≤ 70 kW, EER ≥ 10.1.

2.  For water- or evaporation-cooled units with cooling capacity ≥ 19 kW and ≤ 70 kW, EER ≥ 13.1.

B. For single-package vertical air conditioners and heat pumps the following requirements, as applicable:

1.  For a cooling capacity <19 kW, EER ≥ 9.0 and COP ≥ 3.0.

2.  For a cooling capacity ≥19 kW and <39.5 kW, EER ≥ 8.9 and COP ≥ 3.0.

3.  For a cooling capacity ≥39.5 kW, EER ≥ 8.6 and COP ≥ 2.9.

Note: On January 1, 2018, sub-subparagraph 2.2 iv B of section 1 of Schedule 4 to the Regulation is revoked. (See: O. Reg. 448/17, s. 5 (6))

C. For large unitary air conditioners and heat pumps with at least 19 kW (65,000 Btu/h) of cooling capacity, the efficiency standards and requirements set out in the following Tables:
