Executive summary

Background

In 1992, Parliament passed Canada's Energy Efficiency Act (the Act) and amended it in 2009 and 2017. The Act provides for the making and enforcement of regulations requiring energy-using products that are imported or shipped inter-provincially for the purpose of sale or lease to meet minimum energy performance standards (MEPS),^{footnote 1} for product labelling, and for the promotion of energy efficiency and alternative energy use, including the collection of data and statistics on energy use.

The Energy Efficiency Regulations were introduced in 1995 as a means to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Canada. They prescribe MEPS for certain consumer and commercial energy-using products. They also prescribe labelling requirements for certain products to disclose and compare the energy use of a given product model relative to others in their category. They have been amended regularly to introduce MEPS for new products^{footnote 2} and to update existing MEPS. In 2016, the Energy Efficiency Regulations were repealed and replaced to remove references to obsolete and out-of-date standards and improve the organization of the regulatory text and became the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016 (the Regulations).

Since most energy-using products must cross provincial or international borders to reach their markets, federally regulated MEPS are an effective tool to raise the level of energy efficiency in Canada. Regulated MEPS are one component of Canada's program to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption associated with energy-using products because they eliminate the least efficient products from the market. Natural Resources Canada also administers the ENERGY STAR^® labelling program, which sets voluntary specifications for 70 product categories that identify the top 15 to 30% of energy efficiency performers, making the choice of energy-efficient products simple for consumers and businesses.

When combined, MEPS and labelling programs drive product innovation by raising requirements for minimum energy performance to pull the market forward with labels to inform consumers of top performing products. Through cycles of continuous improvement, this approach eliminates the least efficient products while encouraging innovation as manufacturers produce products to achieve increasing ENERGY STAR levels, making affordable, higher efficiency products available to consumers and businesses. MEPS and labelling programs are among the most cost-effective GHG reduction policies and are the cornerstone of energy efficiency and climate change programs in more than 80 countries.^{footnote 3}

In August 2014, alignment of energy efficiency standards was included as an initiative in the Canada–United States Regulatory Cooperation Council's Joint Forward Plan.^{footnote 4} Specifically, Canada and the U.S. Department of Energy established the goal of aligning new and updated energy efficiency standards and test methods for energy-using equipment through enhanced information sharing and a cooperative development and implementation process, to the extent practicable and permitted by law. These commitments were reaffirmed in March 2016 when Canada and the United States pledged to better align and further improve energy efficiency standards by 2020, and in February 2017 when both countries reiterated their support for continued bilateral regulatory cooperation.

Issues

GHGs are primary contributors to climate change, which has an impact on Canada's economy and environment. Carbon dioxide, a by-product of fossil fuel consumption, has been identified as the most significant GHG.

Canadian homes and buildings (the building sector) are significant contributors to national GHG emissions. The level of emissions in the building sector is impacted by the energy-using equipment it contains. Equipment that combusts fuel to generate heat leads to direct carbon dioxide emissions at the site, while equipment that consumes electricity contributes to GHG emissions at the point of generation. Total end-use sector GHG emissions^{footnote 5} (including electricity) in 2014 were 502 megatonnes (Mt), with 70 Mt and 47 Mt being attributable to the residential and commercial/institutional sectors, respectively.^{footnote 6} Therefore, Canadian homes and buildings represented approximately 23% of national end-use sector GHG emissions in 2014.

There are market barriers to consumers making optimal economic or environmental choices with respect to energy efficiency. These include a lack of awareness and information available to consumers regarding energy-saving opportunities and actual energy use, a lack of capacity within organizations to understand and manage energy use, and split incentives (e.g. landlords may not purchase efficient equipment if tenants pay the energy bill).

In 2011, the Canada–United States Regulatory Cooperation Council stated that unnecessary regulatory differences and duplicative actions hinder cross-border trade and investment and ultimately impose a cost on citizens, businesses and economies.^{footnote 7} Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy has implemented changes to its regulations across several product categories, by applying MEPS to new product categories, increasing the stringency of MEPS for some currently regulated product categories, and updating test procedures. These changes have not yet been made in Canada, which has resulted in an increasing number of unnecessary regulatory differences. In 2014, Natural Resources Canada and the U.S. Department of Energy established a goal of aligning new and updated energy efficiency standards and test methods under the Canada–United States Regulatory Cooperation Council.

Objectives

The goals of the Amendment are to

• introduce or improve MEPS across 17 product categories;
• reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption associated with using those products; and
• reduce unnecessary regulatory differences between Canadian and U.S. regulations across new and existing product categories to support cross-border trade.

The desired outcomes of the Amendment are as follows:

• GHG emissions are reduced to contribute to Canada's goal to reduce GHG emissions by at least 30% below 2005 levels by 2030;
• Consumers and businesses save money by purchasing higher efficiency product models that have lower costs over their lifetime; and
• Businesses benefit from common North American test procedures and MEPS for more product categories; therefore, obstacles to trade are reduced.

Regulatory action is required to deliver these outcomes, given that voluntary measures will not be sufficient to phase out some low-efficiency product models from the Canadian market. It is also required to address unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States.

Description

The Amendment would (a) introduce MEPS, labelling and reporting requirements for 6 new product categories; (b) introduce more stringent MEPS for 11 currently regulated product categories; (c) make minor changes to existing standards, test procedures or reporting requirements for currently regulated product categories; and (d) provide flexibility for testing requirements and remove import reporting requirements in limited instances where products are a component of another regulated product. The Amendment would come into force six months after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

The MEPS established by the Amendment will apply to products that are manufactured after particular dates generally aligned with those of the United States. Only products that have been manufactured after those dates and that are being imported into Canada or shipped between provinces after the coming-into-force date of the Amendment would be impacted. Consumers would still be able to purchase products that were imported or shipped inter-provincially before the Amendment has come into force.

(A) Introduce MEPS, labelling and reporting requirements for new product categories

Battery chargers

Battery chargers are used to charge the batteries of end-use products such as power tools or cell phones. For battery chargers, not including uninterruptible power supplies manufactured on or after June 13, 2019, the Amendment would align Canada's MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that will come into effect on June 13, 2018.

Commercial pre-rinse spray valves

Commercial pre-rinse spray valves are used in commercial applications to spray hot water on dishes, flatware, and other food service items for the purpose of removing food residue before cleaning them in a commercial dishwasher. Imposing a maximum flow rate would limit the quantity of hot water passing through the product, thereby lowering the energy used by the associated hot water heater.

• For products manufactured on or after June 27, 2016, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.
• For products manufactured on or after June 28, 2019, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that will come into effect on that date.

Metal halide lamp ballasts

Metal halide lamp ballasts are used to start and maintain the flow of electricity to metal halide lamps that are commonly used for large area overhead lighting of commercial, industrial, and public spaces, such as parking lots, sports arenas, factories, and retail stores. For metal halide lamp ballasts, not including replacement metal halide lamp ballasts, manufactured on or after February 10, 2017, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.

Microwave ovens

Microwave ovens are used in residential applications to cook or heat food by means of microwave energy. For products manufactured on or after June 17, 2016, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the U.S. that came into effect on that date.

Small electric motors

Small electric motors are used in commercial and industrial applications to convert electrical power into mechanical power for equipment such as compressors and pumps. They can operate on single or polyphase power and range in size from 0.25 horsepower (0.18 kW) up to 3 horsepower (2.2 kW). For products manufactured on or after March 9, 2015, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.

Walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers — Components

Walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers are enclosed storage spaces of less than 278.71 m² used primarily in the food service and food sales industry to temporarily store refrigerated or frozen food or other perishable goods.

• For components manufactured on or after June 5, 2017, the Amendment would align the Canadian MEPS, test procedures and marking for walk-in panels and walk-in door assemblies with those of the United States.
• For walk-in refrigeration systems manufactured on or after January 1, 2020, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that will come into effect on that date.

(B) Introduce more stringent MEPS for currently regulated product categories

Ceiling fan light kits

Ceiling fan light kits add a lighting function to a ceiling fan. For products manufactured on or after January 7, 2019, the Amendment would introduce more stringent MEPS to reduce the maximum power for lighting from 190 W to 70 W. These standards are not completely aligned with those in the United States, which require that these products be packaged with lamps to fill all sockets. Therefore, the U.S. standards prescribe minimum lamp efficacy rather than a maximum wattage that would be required by the Amendment. The Act does not provide Natural Resources Canada with the authority to require that lamps be included with ceiling fans for sale in Canada, but the Amendment would provide an equivalent degree of energy efficiency to that provided by the U.S. requirements.

Commercial refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers and freezers

Commercial refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers and freezers that are self-contained are used by commercial establishments to keep food cold or frozen. They are commonly found in convenience stores, grocery stores and restaurants, as well as a number of other businesses that sell food, such as drug stores and gas stations. The Amendment would expand the scope of this category to include commercial refrigerators, freezers and refrigerator-freezers with remote condensing units, as well as ice-cream freezers, and would require that these products comply with MEPS that are equivalent to those that have been in effect in the United States since 2012. These products are often used in supermarkets to store and display refrigerated or frozen food or perishable goods. In addition, more stringent MEPS would be applied to all products in the expanded category (both self-contained and remote) manufactured on after March 27, 2017, to align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.

Dehumidifiers

Dehumidifiers are used in residential applications to remove moisture from the air. For products manufactured on or after June 13, 2019, the Amendment would align the Canadian compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that will come into effect on that date. This would include expanding the scope of the category to include whole-home dehumidifiers that are designed to be installed with a ducted system.

Dry-type transformers

Dry-type transformers are used in commercial applications such as office buildings or hotels to change voltage, either to step up or step down, depending on the end-use requirement. For products manufactured on or after January 1, 2016, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.

External power supplies

External power supplies (EPS) are used to supply power to a variety of electronic products such as laptop computers, printers, cordless phones, etc. An EPS converts one type of electrical power into another that is suitable for the end-use product. For products manufactured on or after February 10, 2016, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date. This would include dividing the currently regulated products into two subcategories, "direct" and "indirect" EPS. The Amendment would expand the scope of the "direct" subcategory to include products with output power greater than 250 W, that supply multiple voltages, and that provide power to the battery chargers of motorized applications and detachable battery packs. Only the MEPS of the direct EPS would be made more stringent.

Fluorescent lamp ballasts

Fluorescent lamp ballasts start and maintain the flow of electricity to tube lights that are commonly used for overhead lighting in offices and commercial spaces. For products manufactured on or after November 14, 2014, the Amendment would expand the scope of the category to align Canada's requirements with the current U.S. requirements.

Gas furnaces

Gas furnaces are used in residential applications to provide heat and are installed as part of a home's central heating system. For products manufactured on or after July 3, 2019, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States applicable to the electrical consumption of a furnace fan that will come into effect on that date. The Amendment would not change the current minimum annual fuel utilization efficiency of gas furnaces.

Large air conditioners

Large air conditioners are used in commercial and industrial applications to remove heat from buildings (ranging from 19 kW [65 000 Btu/h] to 223 kW [760 000 Btu/h]).

• For air-cooled products in this category manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with the 2018 U.S. compliance date, MEPS and test procedures for integrated energy efficiency ratio (IEER)^{footnote 8} in addition to the currently required energy efficiency ratio (EER).
• For water-cooled and evaporative-cooled products in this category manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, the Amendment would align Canada's MEPS and test procedures with those that have been in effect in the United States since 2013 and 2014 respectively.

Large heat pumps

Large heat pumps are used in commercial and industrial applications to heat and cool buildings (ranging from 19 kW [65 000 Btu/h] to 223 kW [760 000 Btu/h]). For products manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with the 2018 U.S. compliance date, MEPS and test procedures for integrated energy efficiency ratio (IEER) in addition to the currently required energy efficiency ratio (EER), as well as the heating coefficient of performance at both 8.3 °C and −8.3 °C to account for Canadian conditions.

Packaged terminal air conditioners

Packaged terminal air conditioners used for cooling commercial and institutional buildings such as hotels and nursing homes, where each room needs its own climate control. For products manufactured on or after January 1, 2017, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that came into effect on that date.

Oil-fired furnaces

Oil-fired furnaces are used in residential applications to provide heat and are installed as part of a home's central heating system.

• For products manufactured on or after January 1, 2017, the Amendment would align Canada's MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States that have been in effect since January 1, 2009. This would include changing the energy efficiency standard metric from seasonal energy utilization efficiency to annual fuel utilization efficiency.
• For products manufactured on or after July 3, 2019, the Amendment would align Canada's compliance date, MEPS and test procedures with those of the United States for furnace fan energy consumption that will come into effect on that date.

(C) Make minor changes to the scope of standards, test procedures or reporting requirements

Minor changes proposed to currently regulated product categories are described below.

Household appliances

The Amendment would add water consumption limits for dishwashers, clothes washers and the clothes washer function of integrated clothes washer-dryers to align with the water consumption limits in the United States. Imposing a maximum flow rate would limit the quantity of hot water passing through the product, thereby reducing the energy used by the associated hot water heater.

Chillers

Chillers are used in large commercial and institutional buildings to provide space cooling. The scope of the current Regulations includes chillers that do not have an integral refrigerant condenser. Because manufacturers do not know which condenser will be matched with their products at a future date, the Amendment would reduce the scope of this product by excluding chillers that do not have an integral refrigerant condenser.

Electronics — Audio, video and televisions

The Amendment would update the standby mode definition to clarify that the network connected standby is excluded. Since the introduction of standby MEPS for these products, new technologies and new products have become available that provide connectivity to a network. Definitions have been clarified to ensure that power consumption while data is being exchanged (i.e. when connected to a network) is not covered by the Regulations.

Gas and oil-fired storage water heaters

Gas and oil-fired storage water heaters provide domestic hot water for use in cooking, cleaning, and bathing, using natural gas, propane or oil as the fuel source. For products manufactured on or after January 1, 2018, the Amendment would introduce a new test procedure that has been in effect in the United States since 2014 called the Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) test. In Canada, products may be tested using the existing energy factor (EF) test procedure or the new UEF test procedure to demonstrate compliance to the MEPS. The current EF MEPS levels have been mathematically translated to UEF MEPS in a manner consistent with existing U.S. calculations.

General service incandescent reflector lamps

The Amendment would correct the exclusions to align Canada's scope with that of the United States. The intent of this change is to clarify the scope which remains unchanged.

Large condensing units

Large condensing units are used for space cooling in commercial and industrial buildings. The current Regulations apply to large condensing units with a cooling capacity of at least 19 kW (65 000 Btu/h) but not more than 70 kW (240 000 Btu/h). Following a request by industry to maintain alignment with ASHRAE standard 90.1, the Amendment would limit the scope of large condensing units to those with a cooling capacity of at least 40 kW (135 000 Btu/h) but not more than 70 kW (240 000 Btu/h).

Motors

The Amendment would correct the definition of motors. The intent of the definition is that a regulated motor must contain all of the characteristics listed in items (a) through (k) and not just a minimum of one.

Traffic signals

The Amendment would modify the definitions of traffic signals to reflect nominal dimensions in line with the Institute of Transportation Engineers' standard entitled Vehicle Traffic Control Signal Heads: Light Emitting Diode (LED) Circular Signal Supplement.

Updated standards

In addition, there are eight^{footnote 9} product categories for which incorporated standards would be updated to refer to a newer version of those standards (Canadian Standards Association, American National Standards Institute or Illumination Engineering Society).

(D) Provide flexibility for testing requirements and remove import reporting requirements for certain product subcategories

Mathematical model

Canada's energy efficiency compliance and enforcement regime relies on third-party verification to ensure that all regulated products imported into Canada and shipped between provinces are compliant with the standards referenced in the Regulations. This approach requires that most prescribed energy-using products bear an energy efficiency verification mark authorized by a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. This Amendment would allow certification bodies greater flexibility in determining compliance with energy efficiency standards and verifying information related to a product's energy performance by using mathematical models. Certification bodies could use best practices to align their programs with the U.S. regulatory alternative efficiency determination methods (AEDM) or alternative rating methods (ARM). Certification bodies would continue to be responsible for the integrity of their verification mark and its use.

Import reporting — Incorporated products

The Amendment would provide a limited exception to import reporting for energy-using products that are incorporated in other regulated products. Natural Resources Canada has determined that import reporting is not the most effective monitoring option, and other means of monitoring compliance are available for these products. To that end, the Amendment would remove import reporting for external power supplies, motors and fluorescent lamp ballasts that are imported as a component of another product. Battery chargers and small electric motors are being added in this Amendment and will follow the same approach. Following the coming-into-force of the Amendment, Natural Resources Canada would ask the Canada Border Services Agency to remove the harmonization system codes that have been flagged.

Incorporation by reference — Repeal and revoke

In the event that a jurisdiction repeals or revokes a standard or test procedure set out in its laws that is incorporated by reference in the Regulations, the Amendment would introduce a provision to ensure that the repealed standard or test procedure continues to apply in Canada. This is good practice when relying on another jurisdiction; for example, the Province of Ontario^{footnote 10} has a similar clause in its Regulation.

Regulatory and non-regulatory options considered

Maintaining the status quo

Maintaining the status quo would lead to fewer reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption than taking regulatory action and would not address the compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States.

Since 2010, the market share of product models that meet the more stringent proposed MEPS has increased under the status quo. These changes in market share can be attributed to a combination of the regulated industry making changes to its product offerings in response to signals from Natural Resources Canada that regulatory changes could be made, and the regulated industry providing Canada with product models that would comply with more stringent U.S. MEPS. While the market share of more efficient products has increased, many products that do not meet the more stringent MEPS remain in the Canadian market. A regulatory approach will provide incremental benefits to the status quo approach, since it will ensure that all products imported or shipped interprovincially meet the more stringent MEPS.

The status quo option would also maintain an uneven playing field across regulated markets. Businesses that updated product offerings in preparation for regulatory changes have made investments that, in some cases, direct competitors did not. Further, as new regulations have come into effect in the United States, the number of unnecessary regulatory differences between the two countries has increased.

Voluntary approach (repeal the Regulations)

Under this approach, Canada would repeal the Regulations and rely on voluntary measures to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption associated with energy-using products. This option would eliminate compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences; however, it would not address GHG emissions and energy consumption to the extent that a regulatory approach would. It would also be a significant departure from Canada's approach to advance energy efficiency and the intent of the Energy Efficiency Act.

A voluntary approach would result in fewer GHG emission reductions than remaining with the status quo or taking a regulatory approach. Studies have shown that in countries where MEPS have been introduced for the first time, significant energy efficiency improvements have been observed. For example, a 32% energy efficiency improvement was achieved in one year (1994–1995) when Mexico first implemented MEPS for four product categories.^{footnote 11} Such improvements have translated into large reductions in energy consumption and GHG emissions. Globally, the most mature national MEPS and labelling programs covering a broad range of products are estimated to save between 10% and 25% of national energy consumption.^{footnote 12} There is strong evidence to show that significant and sustained improvements in energy efficiency occur where MEPS are subject to ongoing revision and updating to keep pace with the rate of improvement in new products entering a market.^{footnote 13} Given the global evidence of the significant benefits of MEPS, a voluntary approach would mean that these benefits would not be realized.

Incremental compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States occur only in situations where both countries enforce mandatory requirements. There are product categories currently regulated in the United States that are not regulated in Canada. In these cases, the regulatory regimes are different in each country, but do not create a burden for industry, since no energy efficiency requirements need to be satisfied in Canada.

Regulatory action

Taking regulatory action to increase the stringency of MEPS for the 17 product categories affected by the Amendment will lead to incremental benefits beyond the status quo.

Regulatory action will reduce compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences, since it will align requirements for 17 product categories with those of the United States. As a result, it will reduce the burden for companies that offer the same products in the United States and Canada.

This option addresses costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences; however, subsequent amendments will probably be required to maintain alignment where it makes sense. This option also provides the largest reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption of the three options considered.

Benefits and costs

Summary

Reduced energy consumption, lower GHG emissions and fewer unnecessary regulatory differences will result in significant net benefits over the lifetime of affected product models. The benefits vary by individual user depending on end-use sector, geographical location and operational practices.

Annual reductions in energy consumption associated with the Amendment are estimated to be 3.76 petajoules (PJ) in 2020, and to reach 15.76 PJ in 2030 as the sale of more efficient equipment steadily replaces the pre-regulation stock.

Annual reductions in GHG emissions resulting from these reductions in energy consumption are estimated to be 0.36 Mt in 2020, and to reach 1.54 Mt in 2030. It is estimated that, by applying a social cost of carbon to these reductions, the cumulative present value of economic benefits associated with GHG emission reductions will be $899 million by 2030.^{footnote 14}

Canadian consumers will also realize economic co-benefits in the form of reduced energy costs due to the implementation of the Amendment. It is estimated that almost $5 billion in cumulative present value energy savings will be realized by 2030.

The cumulative present value of incremental technology costs and costs to Government associated with the Amendment are estimated to be $1.2 billion and $0.1 million, respectively, by 2030.

The present value of net benefits of the Amendment is estimated to be $4.55 billion by 2030, with total benefits exceeding total costs by a ratio of almost five to one. By 2030, the present value of benefits and costs from the Amendment is estimated to be $5.75 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively.

For all product categories affected by the Amendment, the analysis found that the reduction in energy costs over the lifetime of the product will be greater than any additional costs to manufacturers to bring non-compliant product models into compliance with the MEPS. The retail prices for regulated products may increase if incremental technology costs are passed on to consumers. These costs will be more than recovered through energy savings during the life of the product.^{footnote 15} The analysis found payback periods of fewer than eight years for all product categories, with nine product categories having payback periods of two years or fewer.

Benefits and costs associated with the Amendment are presented in Table 1.

Methodology, assumptions and data

Natural Resources Canada analyzed the economic gains to be made through the more stringent MEPS and the impact on Canadian society within a cost-benefit analysis framework. The costs and benefits associated with the Amendment were obtained by comparing the following scenarios:

• the business-as-usual case (i.e. excluding the Amendment); and
• the policy case (i.e. the business-as-usual case including the Amendment).

Business-as-usual case

The Canadian and U.S. markets for regulated product categories are highly integrated. When the same MEPS are implemented in both countries, it is generally assumed that the same product models will be available to Canadian and American consumers. Each country develops regulatory amendments independently and undertakes separate analyses of the potential economic impacts of any proposed changes, even in cases where MEPS are aligned. For analyses conducted in support of previous amendments to the Regulations, it was assumed that incremental costs and benefits in Canada were fully the result of the Canadian amendments, with no spillover effects from the United States. This assumption is consistent with other recent federal regulations^{footnote 16} and provides an assessment of the full economic impacts of regulatory changes affecting Canadians. Canada and the United States do not account for costs and benefits outside their borders as a result of their regulations. It is recognized that this assumption may underestimate or overestimate changes in the market that occur in one country in response to similar regulations being announced or implemented in the other. These changes in the market are difficult to estimate but were considered in a sensitivity analysis.

For the purpose of this analysis, the business-as-usual case was defined in terms of Canadian market conditions assessed in 2016. This base case also includes an estimate of costs, if any, associated with unnecessary regulatory differences.

Policy case

The policy case is defined as the application of the more stringent MEPS across 17 product categories relative to markets defined by studies completed in 2016. The policy case for product categories for which U.S. regulations are already in effect at the time the Amendment is proposed will include the benefits, if any, associated with the reduced compliance costs resulting from the removal of unnecessary regulatory differences.

Benchmarks

For all product categories, benchmarks are chosen to represent the product models that do not meet the more stringent MEPS. Within those benchmarks, two efficiency levels are considered: (1) the least efficient of their class; and (2) the efficiency of the average unit impacted. Where relevant, regional sensitivities were evaluated (e.g. a heat pump would save more energy per year in a colder location).

Social cost of carbon

The social cost of carbon was used to quantify the economic benefits of reducing GHG emissions. It represents an estimate of the economic value of avoided climate change damages at the global level for current and future generations as a result of reducing GHG emissions. The estimated values of the social cost of carbon used in this assessment draw on ongoing work undertaken by Environment and Climate Change Canada^{footnote 17} in collaboration with a federal interdepartmental working group and in consultation with a number of external academic experts. This work involves reviewing existing literature and other countries' approaches to valuing GHG emissions. Preliminary recommendations, based on current literature and in line with the approach adopted by the U.S. Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Carbon,^{footnote 18} are that it is reasonable to estimate social cost of carbon values at $37.4/tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2013 (in 2012$), increasing each year with the expected growth in damages.

Methodology to estimate costs

The additional or "incremental" costs associated with the Amendment were determined as the difference between the cost of the inefficient product model, represented by the selected benchmark, and the cost of a modified version of that product model that would meet the more stringent MEPS. For each product category, the potential cost of modifying the benchmark product model so that it meets the more stringent MEPS was estimated (e.g. cost of adding extra insulation to a water heater; cost of replacing an inefficient compressor in an air conditioner). These costs were then multiplied by the number of shipments of the product models in the business-as-usual case that were estimated to have an energy performance that is worse than what is required by the MEPS. Results were combined across all affected product categories to arrive at the estimate of total costs.

Additional incremental costs related to installation and maintenance costs or to the lifetime of the product were also evaluated, as applicable. Total costs reported as being attributable to the Amendment include manufacturing, compliance and administrative costs as well as those incurred by Government to implement the changes.

Methodology to estimate benefits

Energy savings for each product category were estimated by calculating the energy used by the selected benchmark product model, by simulating how it would be normally used in a year (e.g. number of operating days). The result is compared to the energy used by the modified version of that product model that would meet the more stringent MEPS. The difference was multiplied by the number of shipments of the product models in the business-as-usual case that were estimated to have an energy performance that is worse than what is required by the MEPS and the number of years the product is expected to last, in order to arrive at the total energy savings. Results were summed across all affected product categories to arrive at the estimate of total energy saved. This was then monetized by multiplying the results by the cost of energy per unit of energy saved (i.e. dollars per kilowatt-hour).

The reductions in GHG emissions were calculated by applying fuel-specific emissions factors, consistent with those published by Environment and Climate Change Canada, to the resulting energy savings. To remain consistent with the U.S. methodology and produce more realistic GHG savings, the reductions attributable to diminished electricity consumption were calculated by applying the emission factors associated with the marginal fuels^{footnote 19} used to generate the electricity that would be saved through implementation of the Amendment. To allow comparison with outcomes reported under the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, the reductions in GHG emissions were also calculated by applying an average emission factor. Annual reductions in GHG emissions with the average emission factor are estimated to be 0.11 Mt in 2020, increasing to 0.45 Mt in 2030 for a cumulative reduction of 3.46 Mt by 2030. GHG emissions were monetized and incorporated into the analysis using a social cost of carbon, as calculated by Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Assumptions

Key assumptions include the following:

• Business-as-usual case reflects Canadian market conditions in 2016;
• Benefits and costs are measured in real constant 2015 dollars;
• A 3% real discount rate;^{footnote 20}
• Canadian average energy prices, based on data from the reference case of the National Energy Board Canada's Energy Future 2016: Energy Supply and Demand Projections to 2040;
• Valuation of the GHG emissions incorporated into the analysis is based on the social cost of carbon as calculated by Environment and Climate Change Canada;
• Incremental costs for more efficient technology are assumed to be passed on to consumers or end-users; and
• Incremental costs associated with more efficient technology were estimated in 2016 and are assumed to be constant, despite evidence^{footnote 21} that such costs come down with time, owing to improvements in manufacturing processes and economies of scale, as higher volumes of product models with new technology enter the market. This assumption could lead to overestimates of manufacturing costs; however, it provides a conservative assessment of overall net benefits.

Data collection and sources

Data is collected on a product-by-product basis, through market studies. It provides key inputs to the analysis such as market size; the portion of the market that does not meet the more stringent MEPS; the benchmarks that best represent that portion of the market; energy savings from the business-as-usual case to the policy case; costs of moving from the business-as-usual case to the policy case; product lifetime; and installation costs.

Results

The methodology described above was applied to all product categories to develop an estimate of the benefits and costs attributable to the Amendment. The results vary by product category depending on the magnitude of the increase in stringency of the MEPS and the estimated portion of the market that will be impacted by the Amendment. The estimated benefits and costs for each product category are presented in Table 2. These results were then aggregated to present the overall impacts of the Amendment in Table 3.

Sensitivity analysis

As discussed above, the analysis assumed that incremental costs and benefits in Canada were fully the result of the Canadian amendments with no spillover effects from the United States. It is recognized that this assumption could underestimate or overestimate changes in the market that might occur in one country in response to similar regulations being announced or implemented in the other. To assess the sensitivity of the total results of this assumption, the number of product models in the Canadian market that would be impacted by the Amendment was reduced by 25% and 50% for the 11 MEPS^{footnote 23} that, at the point of this analysis, are not yet in force in either Canada or the United States. The results show the level to which the total costs could be overestimated due to this analytical assumption.

Table 4 shows how the costs and benefits change under each of these scenarios. Even if only 50% of the product models are impacted by the Amendment, the total benefit to total cost ratio remains close to four to one (total benefits: $3,570; total costs: $825). The sensitivity analysis was not applied to the other MEPS since they are already in effect in the United States. In those cases, the business-as-usual case represents the Canadian market after it has been influenced by U.S. regulations.

Table 4: Business-as-usual case sensitivity analysis

	Costs (millions)			Benefits (millions)			Net benefits (millions)
Reduction in the number of product models impacted by the Amendment	0%	25%	50%	0%	25%	50%	0%	25%	50%
Total of product categories subject to sensitivity analysis	$833	$625	$417	$4,625	$3,469	$2,313	$3,789	$2,842	$1,895
Total of all product categories	$1,241	$1,033	$825	$5,882	$4,726	$3,570	$4,641	$3,694	$2,747

Note: Figures may not add up to totals due to rounding.

Additional benefits and costs

For industries using regulated products in their operations, an improvement in energy performance translates into energy and operating cost savings, increased productivity and competitiveness and improved environmental performance. When such companies spend these energy savings on expanding their businesses or factories, they create greater demand. This generates additional economic growth and creates more jobs throughout the economy.^{footnote 24} Reduced electricity consumption from regulated products also benefits the utilities by reducing peak loads and the need to add more generating capacity.

The analysis has quantified costs and benefits for each product category relative to a business-as-usual case defined by market conditions assessed in 2016. In the case of three product categories (microwave ovens, packaged terminal air conditioners and heat pumps), the assessment showed that all product models being imported into Canada or shipped between provinces comply with the more stringent MEPS. While the analysis does not attribute any costs or benefits to the implementation of the MEPS for these three product categories, this Amendment will prevent future dumping of low-efficiency product models into the Canadian market.

Another benefit of the Amendment is related to the verified energy efficiency performance data of regulated equipment that is collected by Natural Resources Canada through its compliance program. These ratings are posted to the Natural Resources Canada website^{footnote 25} and provide readily accessible information to consumers or businesses. Consumers benefit from this information since it provides them with detailed information to make informed purchase decisions. Utilities and retailers also benefit from this information, since it supports programming to promote the sale of high-efficiency products.

"One-for-One" Rule

It is estimated that this Amendment would generate an increase in administrative burden of $96,280 created by the introduction of regulatory requirements for new product categories. Dealers of these new products will be required to learn about the requirements of the Regulations and submit information before and at the time of importation in accordance with subsection 5(1) of the Act.

This Amendment is proposing to reduce administrative burden by approximately $640,000 by removing the requirement for reporting information at the time of importation for three existing products (motors, fluorescent lamp ballasts and external power supplies) when they are incorporated into other products. This modification would not affect dealers' obligation to comply with all other regulatory requirements of the Regulations.

The Amendment is therefore overall considered an "OUT" under the "One-for-One" Rule because it would decrease the administrative burden and result in net annualized savings of approximately $544,000 to industry.

Assumptions underlying administrative burden estimates

Existing regulated products

There is no incremental administrative burden because manufacturers of these products already provide information before (energy efficiency reports) and at the time of importation (import reports). No additional requirements are being imposed on them.

Newly regulated products

Familiarization with new information obligations is a one-time administrative function that applies only to manufacturers of newly regulated products. The task involves reviewing and understanding the new requirements of the Regulations, as well as the energy efficiency reporting form that Natural Resources Canada provides to each stakeholder. This Amendment would also introduce requirements for new products. Manufacturers of these new products will carry an incremental administrative burden, as they will be required to provide information at the time of importation.

There is no incremental administrative burden caused by the reporting of energy performance information before a product is imported, because there is already such a requirement in the United States. The information that is collected and provided in the United States would satisfy the requirements of this Amendment.

The data used to calculate incremental administrative burden costs was obtained from a variety of sources such as internal compliance databases, numerous product market studies, Statistics Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Consultations

No comments were received from stakeholders on the impacts of the Amendment on administrative burden. In general, stakeholders were supportive of the approach to achieve alignment with U.S. regulations across these product categories, which includes the alignment of reporting requirements.

Small business lens

The small business lens does not apply to this proposal, as the overall impact of the Amendment would be positive (estimated cost savings of $544,000) because of the elimination of import reporting for regulated products that are incorporated in other end-use products. Natural Resources Canada consulted with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business to confirm the number of small businesses potentially affected by this proposal. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business was unable to provide an exact count; however, it did provide very useful data to assist in the development of the methodology. While the small business lens does not apply to this proposal, the overall reduction in administrative burden for establishments affected by these amendments would also benefit small businesses.

Consultation

Pre-consultation summary

Stakeholders^{footnote 26} were informed of the changes being considered in the Amendment and were provided opportunities to comment at several points since 2016. These consultations evolved with time, and the content of the Amendment was modified accordingly. The following outlines the key materials used to communicate details to the stakeholder community:

• February 2016: Natural Resources Canada released a discussion paper to seek stakeholder views and feedback on the list of products being considered for the two next amendments.
• April 2016: Natural Resources Canada published a notice of intent in the Canada Gazette, Part I, to inform stakeholders that it was initiating the development of this Amendment and updated the Forward Regulatory Plans to communicate the product categories being considered for inclusion in the Amendment as well as the overarching policy direction being taken.
• 2016–2017: Detailed product-specific technical bulletins were published. A series of product-specific webinars and workshops were held with affected stakeholders to discuss the content of these bulletins.
• November 2016: A technical bulletin was released to initiate a public consultation process on whether manufacturers would need a six-month coming-into-force delay in Canada from the date of publication of this Amendment in the Canada Gazette, Part II, given that the United States will have already provided more than six months for manufacturers to adapt.
• March 2017: A technical bulletin was released to inform stakeholders that Natural Resources Canada is proposing to remove import reporting for external power supplies, electric motors and fluorescent lamp ballasts when they are imported as components of another product.

All the documents mentioned above were distributed to stakeholders via targeted emails to key market channels, key federal and provincial stakeholders, and general interest groups (advocacy groups, international regulators). Many of these individuals and organizations in turn forwarded the information to provide access to a larger audience of stakeholders.

Natural Resources Canada also has ongoing activities that provide additional opportunities to gather feedback from stakeholders and to inform them.

• Energy Efficiency Regulations web page of the Natural Resources Canada website at http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/regulations-codes-standards/6845.
• Ongoing bilateral discussions. Natural Resources Canada is in close contact with the industry through major industry associations to discuss changes and updates to the products.
• National Standards System. The relevant Canadian Standards Association steering committees, technical committees and technical subcommittees, comprising stakeholders (including manufacturers, industry associations and other interested groups), provided input, and reviewed and voted upon changes to the test standards.
• Market studies to support decision making were conducted by third-party consultants who worked with manufacturers and industry associations to gather information.

General comments received during pre-consultation

Third-party verification

Many industry associations and companies advocated for the elimination of any additional testing or labelling efforts for products that have been tested and labelled in accordance with U.S. regulations. To reduce costs and time, products that comply with U.S. regulations would automatically be deemed to achieve compliance in Canada.

Canada's energy efficiency compliance and enforcement regime relies on third-party verification and requires that all prescribed energy-using products bear an energy efficiency verification mark authorized by a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. The verification mark provides assurance to consumers that the product complies with the applicable standard.

This approach differs from the compliance approach taken by the U.S. Department of Energy, which allows manufacturers to directly submit test results, along with a statement that attests that the product model is in compliance with all requirements.

Natural Resources Canada intends to continue using third-party verification as the means of assessing compliance with the Regulations because it provides a level of independence, transparency and credibility to the regulatory program. By requiring verification from a certification body accredited by the Standards Council of Canada, manufacturers are assured of a level playing field upfront, in that all products are treated with the same level of scrutiny and are assessed the same way.

Product-specific comments received during pre-consultation

Stakeholders were informed of the content of the Amendment through the activities outlined above, and they were generally supportive of the approach. The following section elaborates only where there were substantive discussions, describing how those discussions were taken into account in the development of the Amendment.

Battery chargers

• Questions about the scope and requests for specific products to be exempted were received from many companies for replacement, service or spare parts, exit signs, and uninterruptible power supplies. In order to maintain alignment with the United States, replacement, service or spare parts and exit signs would remain part of the Amendment.
• Four companies requested that reporting be eliminated at the time of importation to align the process with that of the United States and because of the associated costs for so many models and products. Natural Resources Canada acknowledged this concern and has proposed changes to import reporting for battery chargers and for other products incorporated into other products as described in the pre-consultation summary.
• One association and two companies requested that the test results obtained from either the U.S. test procedure (10 Code of Federal Regulations Appendix Y) or the Canadian test procedure (CSA C381.2-17) be acceptable. Natural Resources Canada agrees to use the most recent revision of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) test procedure.
• Concerns were expressed by many companies and associations concerning the third-party verification, the need to apply a verification mark, its placement and the option to use already existing markings. Concerns were mostly around the limited surface area on the chargers on which markings may be made, and the high costs that would be involved because of the substantial number of models that would be implicated by the Regulations. Natural Resources Canada acknowledges this concern by proposing to delay compliance to one year later than the compliance in the United States, i.e. June 13, 2019. The Province of Ontario is also postponing the application of its regulations on battery chargers by one year. This delay will provide Natural Resources Canada time to continue discussions with industry associations and certification bodies.

Ceiling fan light kits

• Three manufacturers, one association and one province submitted comments and requested that these products be packaged with lamps to fill all sockets to fully align Canadian requirements with those of the United States. Natural Resources Canada does not have the authority to require that these products be packaged with lamps, but instead proposes three different options to ensure that the wattage of ceiling fan light kits remains in the range of a unit fitted with energy-efficient lamps in the United States.
• Concerns were expressed by manufacturers and one association whereby requiring a power-limiting device would burden manufacturers. Natural Resources Canada acknowledges this concern and clarifies that the Amendment would allow for compliance without a power-limiting device.

Commercial refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers and freezers

• Four stakeholders suggested that the Amendment reference the U.S. test procedure to determine the energy consumption of commercial refrigerators, freezers and refrigerator-freezers instead of the CSA test procedure, CSA C657-15. Natural Resources Canada believes that this is unnecessary given that the CSA test procedure is a bilingual test procedure that is fully aligned with the U.S. test procedure.
• Two industry associations and four manufacturers recommended removing third-party verification or postponing the application of this Amendment to provide time to comply with third-party verification requirements. Natural Resources Canada disagrees, since testing has been required in the United States since 2012. The Amendment would not postpone the compliance date.
• One Canadian manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment indicated that the MEPS for ice-cream glass door freezers are too stringent and provided information about a petition filed against the U.S. Department of Energy to review the regulations. Since then, the U.S. courts have denied the petition. Natural Resources Canada disagrees that the MEPS are too stringent and proposes to maintain its alignment with the U.S. standards, given the high level of market integration for this product.

External power supplies

• A number of lighting and electronics companies and industry associations requested that EPS drivers for solid state lighting be exempt from the Regulations because a bill^{footnote 27} is being considered by the U.S. Senate that would exclude them from the scope of the U.S. regulations. Given that this bill is still being debated in the U.S. Senate, and that these exemptions are not currently in place in the United States, no changes are proposed to the definition of external power supplies in this Amendment. Natural Resources Canada will monitor the progress of this bill and would propose any necessary changes to ensure alignment between Canada and the United States.

Large air conditioners and heat pumps

• Natural Resources Canada consulted stakeholders on the opportunity to increase the MEPS for large heat pumps in heating mode to the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy levels in 2018 for Canada, given that the Regulations are already at the 2018 U.S. Department of Energy standards levels. Two provinces advocated for early compliance while two industry associations recommended keeping the dates aligned with those of the United States. Natural Resources Canada conducted a market analysis on this issue and has decided not to require the 2023 U.S. Department of Energy levels in 2018.
• Natural Resources Canada consulted stakeholders on whether or not to continue to require both the EER and IEER metrics for large air conditioners and heat pumps in Canada even though the United States is only using the IEER metric. Two industry associations and one utility favoured a single IEER metric to be consistent with the U.S. regulations. Natural Resources Canada does not agree to remove the EER metric given that this metric is already used by the industry to better understand peak load requirements and is reported to Natural Resources Canada.
• A certification body recommended that water-cooled products over 70 kW and evaporative-cooled products be eliminated from the scope of the Regulations because they are not currently covered under the scope of their certification program. Natural Resources Canada disagrees with this recommendation and will continue to maintain scope alignment with that of the United States.

Residential gas furnaces

• One industry association suggested that a through-the-wall gas furnace should not be subjected to the same fan energy rating requirements as conventional gas furnaces. Natural Resources Canada confirmed through testing that a through-the-wall unit can meet the proposed MEPS. Therefore, Natural Resources Canada disagrees that a through-the-wall gas furnace should not be subjected to the same fan energy rating requirements as a conventional gas furnace and has decided to retain the initially proposed fan energy ratings that are aligned with those of the United States.
• One gas utility suggested that the gas furnace market may not be at an adequate penetration of high-efficiency furnace fans to warrant high-efficiency requirements as a minimum standard. Natural Resources Canada disagrees with this assertion given that almost half of the gas furnaces sold in Canada are sold with high-efficiency furnace fans.

Residential gas-fired storage water heaters

• An industry association and one company were concerned that some water heaters might not meet the MEPS if using the translated uniform energy factor metric while the same water heaters would be grandfathered from the new metric in the United States. The Amendment allows the demonstration of compliance to either the UEF metric or current energy factor.

Residential oil-fired furnaces

• One stakeholder commented that the proposed MEPS of 83% should be higher. Natural Resources Canada understands that the majority of oil furnace shipments in Canada are above 85% and may look at further increasing the stringency in a future amendment.

Small electric motors

• Stakeholders requested a postponement of the inclusion for small electric motors in the Amendment because a proposal for revisions to the U.S. regulations is being developed. Since no concrete proposals have been brought forward in the United States during the course of consultations, it is proposed that small motors would remain part of the Amendment.
• Some stakeholders were concerned of potential overlap with the existing Regulations for large motors. Natural Resources Canada confirms that there is no intent to overlap between the existing motors and the new small motors definitions.

Walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers

• Concerns were expressed by a manufacturer that the proposed phase out of hydrofluorocarbons committed to by Canada under the Montreal Protocol would create additional challenges and raise costs in testing refrigeration systems. In proposing to align with the United States, which is also a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, the Amendment does not put Canadian industry at a disadvantage as the global market adapts to new refrigerants.
• Two industry associations and two manufacturers commented that there is no certification body for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers that could conduct third-party verification. Natural Resources Canada has consulted with certification bodies to inform them of the upcoming requirement for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers and based on previous experience is confident that certification will be available for these products.
• One manufacturer is concerned that the proposed test procedure cannot be used for a single-package dedicated condensing refrigeration system without the product being disassembled, thereby affecting the system performance. One standards development organization commented that work is ongoing to develop an alternative test procedure for these products. Natural Resources Canada anticipates that the U.S. Department of Energy test procedure, which is incorporated in this Amendment, as amended from time to time, will be updated prior to the compliance date for these products on January 1, 2020.

General consultations — All products

Six months' coming into force

Natural Resources Canada consulted on reducing the six-month coming into force for this amendment to align the regulations more quickly with those of the United States. Natural Resources Canada must comply with transparency obligations under trade agreements and provide a reasonable interval of not less than six months between the publication and coming into force of technical regulations. The objective is to permit producers in exporting countries to adapt their products or production methods to the regulatory requirements of the importing country. Most comments received requested that the delay be maintained or increased in length to provide sufficient time for manufacturers to adapt and facilitate cross-border shipments, but a few comments also requested that the delay be removed to facilitate faster alignment. Based on the feedback received, the Amendment would maintain the six-month delay, but not increase it given that the regulatory and consultation process have already provided more than three years' notice.

Mathematical model

Natural Resources Canada held bilateral consultations with three certification bodies on the Amendment in September 2016. Presentations were made to the Canadian Advisory Council on Energy Efficiency in November 2016 and September 2017. Over 35 participants attended each meeting, stakeholders were generally supportive of the proposal, and no major issues were identified during the consultations.

Import reporting — Incorporated products

A bulletin describing the Amendment was posted on the Natural Resources Canada Regulatory Announcements web page in March 2017. There were no issues or comments identified during the consultation.

Regulatory cooperation

In August 2014, Natural Resources Canada and the U.S. Department of Energy established a goal of aligning new and updated energy efficiency standards and test methods for energy-using equipment through enhanced information sharing and cooperative development and implementation, to the extent practicable and permitted by law. This included a commitment to annually share work plans for test procedures and standards; develop guidelines for frequency of interaction and information sharing (e.g. test data, market analyses); mutually participate in the process to establish standards and testing requirements; and leverage multilateral initiatives to advance energy efficiency objectives.^{footnote 28}

In July 2016, a second joint work plan was released and reiterated Natural Resources Canada's commitment to implement its Forward Regulatory Plan and to cooperate on several activities with the U.S. Department of Energy to improve Canada–United States alignment.

In August 2016, federal, provincial and territorial energy ministers published a framework and action plan for energy efficiency standards under the Energy and Mines Ministers' Conference. The framework outlines an approach by which provinces and territories collaborate to achieve greater harmonization on energy efficiency standards. The Amendment would reduce regulatory differences that exist between federal and provincial regulations by adding products to the Regulations that would otherwise be only regulated in one or a few provinces.

Rationale

The Amendment will benefit Canadians by both reducing GHG emissions and removing unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States.

According to the International Energy Agency, policies and programs that address energy efficiency are the most cost-effective way to lower GHG emissions and could complement carbon pricing schemes as an overall strategy to effectively achieve climate change policy objectives.^{footnote 29} Improving energy efficiency also provides economic benefits to consumers and businesses through lower energy bills.

In the absence of a regulatory approach, a market for low-efficiency products would continue. Consumers who purchase such products could be motivated by lower purchase costs even though they would pay higher operational costs over the life of the product. The analysis of the Regulations has shown that more stringent MEPS for all products would generate reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption. The associated energy savings will generate net monetary benefits for Canadian consumers. The analysis has shown that the costs of technologies that will be required to bring low-efficiency products into compliance with the MEPS are outweighed by the benefits attributable to those technologies.

The development of the Amendment was informed by stakeholder views. Industry supports an approach that is aligned with that of the United States since most product models are designed to serve a Canada–U.S. market. Provinces support federal regulatory action on energy efficiency.

The Energy Efficiency Regulations were first introduced in 1995 and have been amended 13 times to increase the stringency of existing MEPS and introduce MEPS for new product categories. Through the use of third-party verification and regular post-market compliance activities, a high compliance rate with regulated requirements has been observed. This provides confidence that estimated outcomes are being achieved and that Canadians are experiencing the associated benefits.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

The Amendment will come into force six months after publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II. The requirements will apply to the prescribed products based on their date of manufacture or import or interprovincial shipment of the product.

The compliance and enforcement procedures already in place for all products prescribed under the Regulations will continue to be used following the coming into force of this Amendment. The main features of this system are as follows.

Verification marking and energy efficiency reporting

For products prescribed under the Regulations, Natural Resources Canada employs a third-party verification system using the services of certification bodies accredited by the Standards Council of Canada. Verified energy performance data is submitted to Natural Resources Canada by the dealer in an energy efficiency report as specified in the Regulations. This is required once for each product model before first importation or interprovincial shipment.

Import reporting and monitoring

Natural Resources Canada procedures, already in place, for the collection of information for commercial imports of prescribed products will apply to products affected by the Regulations. These procedures involve crosschecking required import data received from customs release documents with the energy efficiency reports that dealers have submitted to Natural Resources Canada. This crosschecking ensures that the compliance of regulated products imported into Canada can be verified.

The Regulations will continue to require dealers of prescribed products to provide the information needed for customs monitoring.

Direct fieldwork: market survey and product testing

In addition to ongoing compliance and marketplace monitoring activities, Natural Resources Canada surveys and tests products in the context of monitoring compliance outcomes with product-specific compliance audits. Depending on the product, in-store audits and/or testing of products are also conducted.

Natural Resources Canada also conducts product testing on a complaint-driven basis. The market is highly competitive and suppliers are cognizant of performance claims made by their competitors. Challenge procedures by which performance claims can be questioned exist in all verification programs.

Performance measurement and evaluation

The desired outcomes of the Regulations are presented in the following table along with the information that will be tracked to measure performance.

Table 5: Measuring performance of the Regulations

Outcome	Indicators	Information to Measure Performance
GHG emissions are reduced to contribute to Canada's goal to reduce GHG emissions by at least 30% below 2005 levels by 2030	Percentage of product models that meet MEPS	Energy efficiency reports Import reports Market data (shipments, trends) Lab testing Emission factors Energy prices
Consumers save money by purchasing higher efficiency product models that have lower costs over their lifetime
Compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences are removed	Number of unnecessary regulatory differences removed	Comparison of Canadian and U.S. regulations

Performance will be monitored through a combination of equipment-specific compliance reporting, supported by third-party verification of energy efficiency performance, and ongoing collection of market data to assess broader trends affecting outcomes.

Information collected on the energy efficiency performance of regulated equipment informs both GHG emission impacts and consumer savings, since both are calculated as a function of changes in the amount of energy consumed by these products.^{footnote 30}

A high compliance rate with the Regulations will be achieved through support from manufacturers, third-party verification, customs monitoring, cooperation with regulating provinces, communication activities, market surveys, and product testing, as required.

The standards contained in the Amendment are being implemented under the federal energy efficiency equipment standards and labelling program. Detailed accounts of progress towards achieving the objectives of this initiative will be found in departmental business plans, reports on plans and priorities, and the Report to Parliament under the Energy Efficiency Act.
