Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards — single-phase
134 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of Table 1 to this section apply to single-phase split system central air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards — three-phase
(1.1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 3 of Table 2 to this section apply to three-phase split system central air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 4.
Marginal note:Testing standard
(2) A split system central air conditioner 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 split system central air conditioner as defined in section 132.
