REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Executive summary

Background

In 1992, Parliament passed Canada's Energy Efficiency Act (the Act). 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. In 2016, the Energy Efficiency Regulations were repealed and replaced to remove references to obsolete and out-of-date standards and improve the organization of the regulatory text and became the Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016 (the Regulations). The Regulations 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 are regularly amended to introduce new energy-using products and to update existing requirements.

Since most energy-using products must cross provincial or international borders to reach their markets, federally prescribed MEPS are an effective tool to raise the level of energy efficiency in Canada. Prescribed 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 75 product categories and identifies the top 15 to 30% of energy efficiency performers, making the choice of energy-efficient products simple for households and businesses.

When combined, MEPS and labelling programs drive product innovation through cycles of continuous improvement. Increasing the stringency of MEPS eliminates the least efficient products from the market while increasing the levels that must be met for a product to be certified as ENERGY STAR^®, and encourages manufacturers to produce affordable high-efficiency products that households and businesses will recognize as good choices to lower their energy costs. MEPS and labelling programs are among the most cost-effective GHG emissions reduction policies and are the cornerstone of energy efficiency and climate change programs in more than 80 countries. ^{footnote 2}

Policy context

Canada committed to reduce its GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by signing the Paris Agreement in 2015. Building on this commitment, First Ministers agreed to take ambitious action in support of meeting or exceeding this target. They also agreed that a collaborative approach between provincial, territorial, and federal governments is important to reduce GHG emissions and to enable sustainable economic growth.

Since August 2014, Canada and the United States have worked toward a goal of aligning new and updated energy efficiency standards and testing standards for energy-using appliances and equipment through enhanced information sharing and a cooperative development and implementation process, to the extent practicable and permitted by law within the context of the Canada–United States Regulatory Cooperation Council.^{footnote 3}

In December 2016, First Ministers adopted the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, which presents the country's plan to meet its GHG emissions reduction targets, grow the economy, and build resilience to a changing climate. The plan outlines an approach for the building sector ^{footnote 4} that consists of four elements: (1) making new buildings more energy efficient; (2) retrofitting existing buildings, as well as fuel switching; (3) supporting building codes and energy-efficient housing in Indigenous communities; and (4) improving energy efficiency for appliances and equipment.

In June 2018, the Generation Energy Council released a report that highlighted the important role that energy efficiency can play in reducing GHG emissions in Canada.^{footnote 5} According to this report, fully one-third of Canada's emission reduction target could be met through improvements in energy efficiency, which would also make Canadian businesses more competitive internationally and leave more money in consumers' pockets. These conclusions are supported by an Efficiency Canada report on the economic impacts of energy efficiency, which showed that implementing strong energy efficiency programs will increase Canada's gross domestic product and job growth.^{footnote 6}

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.

The building sector is a significant contributor to Canada's GHG emissions. This sector accounted for about 17% of national GHG emissions in 2014. The level of emissions in the building sector is impacted by the energy-using equipment it contains. For instance, products that combust fuel to generate heat lead to direct carbon dioxide emissions at the site, while products that consume electricity contribute to GHG emissions at the point of electricity generation.

GHG emissions from Canadian homes declined by 1 Mt between 2005 and 2015, and are projected to decline by a further 3 Mt between 2015 and 2030. This is despite an expected 36% increase (or 4.4 million) in the number of Canadian households (a key driver of residential emissions growth) between 2005 and 2030. GHG emissions from Canada's commercial buildings increased by 1 Mt between 2005 and 2015, and are expected to remain relatively constant through 2030, despite an expected 32% increase in floor space from 2005 to 2030. ^{footnote 7}

While technologies exist in the Canadian market to provide incremental reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption in the building sector, there are market failures that lead to consumers making economic or environmental choices with respect to energy efficiency that are less than optimal. 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 8} Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy has implemented changes to its regulations across several product categories, by applying energy efficiency standards to new product categories, increasing the stringency of energy efficiency standards for some currently regulated product categories, and updating test procedures. These changes have not all been made in Canada, which has resulted in an increasing number of unnecessary regulatory differences.

Regulatory action is required to address these issues, 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.

Objectives

The goals of the Amendment are to

• reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption associated with nine product categories;
• reduce the load on the electricity system associated with the building sector;
• reduce energy costs incurred by households, businesses and institutions; and
• reduce unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States across new and existing product categories to support cross-border trade.

The desired outcomes of the Amendment are as follows:

• GHG emissions are reduced, contributing to Canada's goal to reduce GHG emissions by at least 30% below 2005 levels by 2030;
• Consumers save money by purchasing higher efficiency product models that have lower costs over their lifetime;
• Businesses using regulated energy-using products experience cost savings that can lead to increased productivity and competitiveness; and
• Businesses benefit from common North American testing standards and energy efficiency standards for more product categories, which reduces obstacles to trade.

Description

In March 2017, Natural Resources Canada published a notice of intent to inform stakeholders that the Department was initiating the development of a regulatory amendment to introduce or increase the stringency of MEPS for 17 product categories. A subsequent decision was taken to address these product categories through two separate, sequential regulatory proposals. Product categories that were identified in the notice of intent but are not included in the Amendment were addressed in a previous regulatory proposal published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 20, 2018.^{footnote 9}

The Amendment aims to achieve the following: (a) introduce MEPS, labelling and rep orting requirements for two new product categories; (b) introduce more stringent MEPS and/or update testing standards for six currently regulated product categories; and (c) introduce reporting requirements for one new product category. The Amendment would come into force six months after the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

For the new product categories, import reports and energy efficiency reports would be required for the first time. The information requirements in the energy efficiency reports will be aligned to the extent possible with what is submitted in the United States.

The following changes to the Regulations are being proposed.

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

Clean water pumps

Clean water pumps are used in commercial and industrial applications. They move clean water by physical or mechanical action, and may be part of a pumping system that includes other mechanical equipment, drivers and controls. Clean water pumps covered by the scope of this amendment include end suction close-coupled pumps; end suction frame mounted with own bearings pumps; inline pumps; radially split, multi-stage, vertical inline diffuser casing pumps; and submersible turbine pumps.

For clean water pumps manufactured on or after January 27, 2020, the Amendment would set the MEPS at levels that will apply on that same date in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

Miscellaneous refrigeration products

Miscellaneous refrigeration products (MRPs) are used in residential applications and are designed for the cooling and storage of wine, food and other beverages. This new subcategory would include residential wine coolers that are already regulated (under wine chillers in the subcategory of refrigerators) and the scope would be expanded to cover coolers and combination cooler refrigeration products. For MRPs manufactured on or after October 28, 2019, the Amendment would set the MEPS at levels that will apply on that same date in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States. Similar to the residential wine coolers, the coolers and combination cooler refrigeration products would be required to carry an EnerGuide Label.

(B) Introduce more stringent MEPS and/or update testing standards for six currently regulated product categories

Ceiling fans

Ceiling fans are suspended from the ceiling and circulate air via the rotation of fan blades. For ceiling fans manufactured on or after January 21, 2020, the Amendment would set the MEPS applicable to air flow efficiency at levels that will apply on that same date in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

Central air conditioners and heat pumps (single package central air conditioner, split-system central air conditioner, single package heat pumps and split-system heat pumps)

Central air conditioners and heat pumps are single-phase and three-phase air-source air conditioners and heat pumps, with a rated capacity of less than 19 kW (65 000 Btu/h). These include single package, split system, ductless, space-constrained, and small-duct, high-velocity air conditioners and heat pumps used in residential and small commercial applications.

For central air conditioners and heat pumps under 19 kW (65 000 Btu/h) manufactured on or after January 1, 2017, the Amendment would set the MEPS applicable to off-mode energy consumption at levels that are currently in place in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

Chillers

Chillers are used in large commercial and institutional buildings to provide space cooling by removing heat from a liquid, usually water, which is then used to provide the cooling needs of the building.

For chillers manufactured on or after December 31, 2019, the Amendment would set the MEPS at levels that are currently in place in Ontario and in the U.S. states that have adopted the ASHRAE standard. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those used in the United States and Ontario.

Refrigerated vending machines

Refrigerated vending machines are used in commercial applications to cool bottled or canned beverages and dispense them upon payment. Refrigerated vending machines that contain both a refrigerated and non-refrigerated compartment separated by a solid partition would also be subject to the Regulations.

For refrigerated vending machines that have been manufactured on or after January 8, 2019, the Amendment would set the MEPS at levels that will apply on that same date in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

Single package vertical air conditioners and heat pumps

Single package vertical air conditioners (SPVACs) are air-cooled commercial single packaged equipment that provide space cooling and may or may not provide heating. Single package vertical heat pumps (SPVHPs) are air-cooled commercial single packaged equipment that provide both space cooling and heating. SPVACs and SPVHPs have their major components arranged vertically and are generally used in modular classrooms, office buildings and telecommunications shelters. Performance in cooling (SPVACs and SPVHPs) and heating (SPVHPs only) would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States:

• For SPVACs and SPVHPs with a cooling capacity <19 kW (<65 000 Btu/h) manufactured on or after September 23, 2019, the Amendment would set the MEPS to levels that will apply on that same date in the United States.
• For SPVACs and SPVHPs with a cooling capacity ≥19 kW and <39.5 kW (≥65 000 and <135 000 Btu/h) manufactured on or after October 9, 2015, the Amendment would set the MEPS to levels that are currently in place in the United States; and
• For SPVACs and SPVHPs with a cooling capacity ≥39.5 kW and <70 kW (≥135 000 and <240 000 Btu/h) manufactured on or after October 9, 2016, the Amendment would set the MEPS to levels that are currently in place in the United States.

Walk-in coolers and freezers

Walk-in coolers and freezers are enclosed commercial refrigerated storage spaces less than 278.71 m² (3 000 ft²) that can be walked into. Walk-in coolers are designed to operate above 0 °C and walk-in freezers are designed to operate below 0 °C.

For walk-in coolers and freezers that have been manufactured on or after July 10, 2020, the Amendment would set the MEPS at levels that will apply on that same date in the United States. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

(C) Introduce reporting requirements for one new product category

Portable air conditioners

Portable air conditioners (PACs) are residential self-contained portable systems that deliver cooled, conditioned air to a single room and include single and dual duct. They include a source of refrigeration and may include additional means for air circulation and heating. They typically sit on the floor and come with an installation kit for quick set up.

For PACs manufactured on or after October 1, 2017, the Amendment would require the submission of energy efficiency reports and importation reports. Performance would be measured in accordance with testing standards aligned with those of the United States.

Regulatory and non-regulatory options considered

Maintaining the status quo

GHG emissions from Canadian homes are projected to decline by 8% between 2005 and 2030. During this same time frame, emissions from commercial buildings are projected to stay constant. Given Canada's commitment to reducing GHG emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030 and the fact that Canada's building sector accounts for approximately 17% of national emissions, maintaining the status quo would not contribute incremental reductions towards the achievement of this goal. It would also lead to missed opportunities to reduce energy consumption, leaving households and businesses with higher energy costs for heating associated with the building sector.

Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy has implemented changes to its regulations across several product categories by applying energy efficiency standards to new product categories, increasing the stringency of energy efficiency standards for some currently regulated product categories, and updating testing standards. These changes have not all been made in Canada. Maintaining the status quo would not address these unnecessary regulatory differences between Canada and the United States.

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 reduce costs for the regulated industry since there would be no mandatory requirements to meet; however, it would not address GHG emissions to the extent required to meet commitments made under the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, nor would it reduce energy consumption to the extent that a regulatory approach would. A voluntary approach would also be a significant departure from Canada's approach to advancing energy efficiency and the intent of the Act.

A voluntary approach would result in fewer GHG emission reductions than the status quo option 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 10} 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 11} There is strong evidence to show that significant and sustained improvements in energy efficiency occur where MEPS are subject to ongoing revision to keep pace with the rate of improvement in new products entering a market.^{footnote 12} 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 introduce or increase the stringency of MEPS for eight product categories would lead to greater GHG emission reductions than either the status quo or the voluntary approach. This approach would provide important incremental GHG emission reductions to contribute to the achievement of Canada's commitments made under the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change and reduce compliance costs associated with unnecessary regulatory differences, since it would align requirements with those of the United States. As a result, regulatory action would reduce the burden for companies that offer the same products in the United States and Canada.

Benefits and costs

Summary

Reduced energy consumption, lower GHG emissions and fewer unnecessary regulatory differences would 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 0.4 petajoules (PJ) in 2020, and to reach 3.57 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 0.04 Mt in 2020, and to reach 0.33 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 $177 million by 2030.^{footnote 13}

Canadian consumers would also realize economic co-benefits in the form of reduced energy costs due to the implementation of the Amendment. It is estimated that almost $1 billion in cumulative present value energy savings would be realized by 2030.

The cumulative present value of incremental technology costs and costs to Government associated with the Amendment are estimated to be $334 million and $0.1 million, respectively, by 2030.

The present value of net benefits of the Amendment is estimated to be $818 million by 2030, with total benefits exceeding total costs by a ratio of more than three to one. By 2030, the present value of benefits and costs from the Amendment is estimated to be $1.15 billion and $335 million, respectively.

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 new and 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

For the purpose of this analysis, the business-as-usual case was defined in terms of Canadian market conditions assessed in 2016. Where Canadian MEPS are aligned with those of the United States, it was assumed that incremental costs and benefits in Canada were fully the result of the Canadian amendments, with no post-2016 spillover effects from the other jurisdictions such as the United States. This assumption is consistent with those of other recent federal regulations ^{footnote 15} and provides an assessment of the full economic impacts of regulatory changes affecting Canadians.

Policy case

The policy case is defined as the application of new and more stringent MEPS across eight product categories relative to markets defined by studies completed in 2016.

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 and weighted based on their relative market share: (1) the least efficient; 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 16} 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, are that it is reasonable to estimate social cost of carbon values at $46.84/tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018 (in 2018$), increasing each year with the expected growth in damages.^{footnote 17}

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 new or 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, when appropriate, manufacturing, administrative burden and compliance costs, as well as those incurred by Government to implement the changes. Compliance costs for products that are already being tested to enter the U.S. market or under voluntary programs are not included. The added costs of third-party verification and marking is not included either because they are confidential business costs that vary based on business relationships. ^{footnote 18} However, they are estimated to be less than 10% of the total testing costs.

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 hours). 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 reported throughout this document 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 0.012 Mt in 2020, increasing to 0.107 Mt in 2030. GHG emissions were monetized and incorporated into the analysis using a social cost of carbon, as calculated by Environment and Climate Change Canada. The social cost of carbon 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.

Assumptions

Key assumptions include the following:

• Analysis covers shipments impacted by the proposed Regulations between 2019 and 2030;
• Business-as-usual case reflects Canadian market conditions in 2016;
• Benefits and costs are measured in real constant 2018 dollars;
• A 3% real discount rate is applied to all benefits and costs with values discounted to 2018; ^{footnote 20}
• Canadian average energy prices are based on data from Environment and Climate Change Canada's 2017 Emission Trends; ^{footnote 21}
• 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;
• Costs incurred by manufacturers, distributors and installers to produce and install more efficient technologies as well as administrative burden costs 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 22} 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. A 2018 study ^{footnote 23} found that each doubling of production for residential gas furnaces lead to a 5.7% to 8.9% decrease in manufacturing costs.

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 new or 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 would be impacted by the Amendment. The estimated benefits and costs for each product category are presented in Table 2. Negative numbers in the table indicate that these particular subcategories present negative net benefits. Consistent with previous amendments, subcategories that do not generate net positive benefits remain subject to the Amendment in order to achieve the desired objectives and outcomes of the Amendment from which Canadians will benefit as a whole. These results were then aggregated to present the overall impacts of the Amendment in Table 3.

Additional benefits and costs

For industries using affected energy-using 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. Reduced electricity consumption from regulated products also benefits the utilities by reducing peak loads and the need to add more generating capacity.

Because of the lack of data, the analysis has not quantified widely accepted benefits such as reduced air pollution, and non-energy benefits related to energy efficiency, such as increased occupant comfort, better indoor air quality and minimizing risks of depressurization in new constructions with better envelopes.

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 one product category (central 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 this product category, this Amendment would 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 energy-using products that is collected by Natural Resources Canada through its compliance program. The data for new energy-using products will be posted to the Natural Resources Canada website ^{footnote 27} and will provide readily accessible information to households 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 $55,508 created by the introduction of regulatory requirements. Dealers of the prescribed products will be required to learn about the requirements of the Regulations and submit information before shipping or importing energy-using products in accordance with subsection 5(1) of the Act.

The Amendment is considered an "IN" under the "One-for-One" Rule. It would increase administrative burden by approximately $55,508 in annualized average administrative costs to industry.

Assumptions underlying administrative burden estimates

Familiarization with the Amendment

Familiarization with new information obligations is a one-time administrative function that applies to manufacturers of regulated products. The task involves reviewing and understanding the new requirements of the Amendment, as well as the associated reports. This one-time event is estimated to take two hours to be realized by someone with a technical background with a wage rate of approximately $42 per hour. The number of stakeholders impacted is estimated at 697, which represents the total number of companies identified under the following three Harmonized System (HS) codes:

• 333910 — Pump and Compressor Manufacturing;
• 335223 — Major Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing; and
• 333416 — Heating Equipment and Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing.

The use of these codes likely over-estimates the total number of companies that would be directly impacted by the Amendment. Natural Resources Canada does not have access to more detailed information that would allow for a more precise stakeholder estimate and has decided, for the purpose of this calculation, to apply estimates of incremental burden to all 697 stakeholders.

Submitting import reports

The Amendment would introduce import reporting requirements for new energy-using products. Importers of these new products would carry an incremental ongoing administrative burden, as they would be required to provide information for 16 new 10-digit HS codes at the time of importation. To estimate the frequency and time associated with this administrative action, Natural Resources Canada analyzed Canada Border Services Agency import data from four years (2012–2015) to establish number of importers, average number of transactions per year and average number of transactions per year per HS code. Based on this analysis, it is estimated that 62 importers would be affected by this incremental activity, which would occur 2 082 times per year. It is assumed that clerical staff with a wage rate of approximately $30 would undertake this task.

To estimate the time required per event, Natural Resources Canada relied upon a U.S. Department of Energy assessment of the time it takes to populate a similar report in a similar context: information is readily available and must simply be entered into the proper place in the report. The U.S. Department of Energy estimated that it took approximately 22 seconds per data element to populate this report. To account for minor differences between the complexities of the data elements in Canada's import reports and those that were the subject of the U.S. Department of Energy analysis, Natural Resources Canada estimates that it would take 36 seconds per data element, with each report requiring two data elements to be submitted for the impacted products.

Submitting efficiency reports

The Amendment would introduce an administrative burden associated with the reporting of energy performance information before an energy-using product is imported or shipped across provinces. The added burden applies to products that have reporting elements that differ from reporting requirements already in place in other jurisdictions.

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. Analysis of the data indicates that around 30 manufacturers of residential portable air-conditioners may be impacted by new reporting requirements, which require inputting data into fields of the energy efficiency reports. The time required to input the data has been estimated to take 36 seconds per data element. These activities would be undertaken by administrative support with a wage rate of approximately $29 per hour.

Consultation — "One-for-One" Rule

During preconsultations, manufacturers commented that the proposed reporting requirements for portable air- conditioners would add a burden given that information is not required to be submitted in the United States. For all other products, stakeholders were generally supportive of the approach to achieve alignment with U.S. regulations across these product categories, which includes the alignment of reporting requirements. The calculations take into account that there is an administrative burden for portable air-conditioners.

Small business lens

The small business lens applies to the Amendment, since the proposal impacts small businesses and has nationwide cost impacts of over $1 million annually. Statistics Canada and Canada Border Services Agency data on the number of small businesses by industry sector indicates that 869 small importing and manufacturing businesses may be impacted by this regulatory proposal. The Amendment would increase the administrative burden for small importers by $61,577 (annualized average administrative cost), or approximately $288 per business, and increase the administrative burden for small manufacturers of affected products by $7,779 (annualized average administrative cost), or $12 per business. It should be noted that the proposed reporting requirements are minor, and represent the minimum amount of information required to assess that an individual product meets the prescribed standards. The estimated impacts on small businesses are presented in Table 4.

Information obtained during preconsultations indicates that seven small Canadian manufacturers might be impacted by the Amendment. The majority of these are not expected to face incremental costs, as they already manufacture compliant products and are demonstrating compliance with similar requirements already in force in other jurisdictions. Small manufacturers that are expected to assume incremental costs have been engaged in consultations, but have not raised any compliance issues associated with the size of their respective companies.

Consultation

Preconsultation summary

Stakeholders ^{footnote 28} 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 future amendments.
• March 2017: 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.
• 2017: Detailed product-specific technical bulletins were published. Product-specific webinars and workshops were held with affected stakeholders to discuss the content of these bulletins.

All the documents mentioned above were distributed to stakeholders via targeted emails. 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.
• Ongoing bilateral discussions. Natural Resources Canada is in close contact with the industry through major industry associations to discuss changes and updates to the Regulations.
• 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 testing standards.
• Market studies were conducted by third-party consultants who worked with manufacturers and industry associations to gather information and support decision making.

Product-specific comments received during preconsultation

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.

Ceiling fans

One industry association and three manufacturers raised the issue of airflow stability during testing, specifically when testing at low speed. Natural Resources Canada acknowledges that there are airflow stability issues at low speeds and is proposing to adopt the U.S. testing standard and require that the MEPS be measured at high speed, where airflow is more stable.

One manufacturer asked whether there would be labelling requirements for ceiling fans in this Amendment, given that labelling requirements were introduced in the United States after formal consultations on the Amendment were completed. Natural Resources Canada does not intend to develop labelling requirements at this time.

One manufacturer raised concerns with the repeatability and stabilization requirements of the current testing standard of the Canadian Standards Association and recommended that Natural Resources Canada adopt the U.S. testing standard without the stabilization requirements. Natural Resources Canada proposes to adopt the U.S. testing standard.

Miscellaneous refrigeration products

One industry association requested that the scope of miscellaneous refrigeration products be harmonized with that of the United States to ensure thermoelectric products are included. Natural Resources Canada confirms that thermoelectric miscellaneous refrigeration products would be included in the scope.

Clean water pumps

One manufacturer suggested that all pumps be tested and reported as opposed to allowing for testing using select basic models or calculation-based methodology. Due to the vast number of configurations available (impeller sizes, with or without controls, motor options, etc.), Natural Resources Canada is proposing to maintain alignment with the United States requirements.

The same manufacturer also suggested that the proposed MEPS should be more stringent than those of the United States. Natural Resources Canada has analyzed the proposed efficiency levels and believes they are appropriate for the current Canadian market and is therefore proposing to maintain alignment with the United States requirements.

Four manufacturers and one association voiced concerns with third-party verification. They indicated that third-party verification would be complex and costly due to the high number of variations (pump, motor, controls). Natural Resources Canada relies on third-party verification as the means of assessing compliance with the Regulations for all products, since 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 and consumers are assured of a level playing field, in that all products are treated with the same level of scrutiny and are assessed the same way. For clean water pumps, testing is already required to demonstrate compliance with the U.S. requirements. Natural Resources Canada is proposing to maintain its third-party verification requirement for this product category.

Walk-in coolers and freezers

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, ^{footnote 29} is confident that certification will be available for these products.

One manufacturer and one industry association expressed concern that the proposed testing standard 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 testing standard for these products. Natural Resources Canada's proposal is aligned with the U.S. testing standard. In Canada, the certification bodies determine how a regulated product can be tested as per a referenced testing standard.

In 2017, Natural Resources Canada consulted on product marking requirements in the context of a previous amendment, but did not formally propose these changes. Natural Resources Canada is now proposing product marking requirements for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers, which would require a nameplate affixed to the product displaying the brand name, whether it is intended for use in a walk-in cooler or freezer or both, the model number, the date of manufacture, and whether the product is intended for indoor use only. Walk-in process cooling refrigeration systems do not have proposed product marking requirements.

Chillers

The technical bulletins published in May 2017 mentioned that Natural Resources Canada was considering adopting the 2013 version of ASHRAE 90.1 ^{footnote 30} as the MEPS. Two industry associations recommended that Canada adopt the 2016 version, as the energy efficiency requirements are the same in both versions. Natural Resources Canada agrees and is proposing to incorporate directly ASHRAE 90.1-2016.

Natural Resources Canada proposed to reference ANSI/AHRI 551/591-2011 ^{footnote 31} with Addendum 1 as the testing standard. Two industry associations supported the proposition, but recommended that Natural Resources Canada reference the most recent 2015 version, which is also referenced by ASHRAE 90.1-2016. Natural Resources Canada agrees and is proposing to reference AHRI 551/591-2015 as the testing standard.

Two industry associations commented that, due to the level of customization, every chiller has a unique model number, and therefore reporting to Natural Resources Canada would indicate each manufacturer's market share of chillers sold in Canada. They requested that a secure mechanism be put in place to protect the information reported. Natural Resources Canada recognizes their concerns and the importance of not disclosing unique model information for identified custom chillers. Industry associations proposed to give Natural Resources Canada access to a secure database. Until the database is shared and a determination is made whether it can be used, Natural Resources Canada will update its reporting form to add an optional field to identify whether a model is a customer-specific product.

Single package vertical air conditioners and heat pumps

Two manufacturers recommended that Natural Resources Canada not require third-party verification, given that this is not required in the United States. Natural Resources Canada relies on third-party verification as the means of assessing compliance with the Regulations for all regulated products 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. Natural Resources Canada is proposing to maintain third-party verification for this product category.

Central air conditioners and heat pumps

Natural Resources Canada proposed to include off-mode power MEPS for both single- and three-phase equipment. Two industry associations recommended that Natural Resources Canada exclude three-phase equipment from off-mode power consumption requirements or conduct a study to determine appropriate off-mode MEPS, allow the use of an alternative efficiency determination method, and/or extrapolate the single-phase results to simulate the off-mode power consumption for three-phase equipment. Natural Resources Canada conducted a market study and concluded that more research would be required to determine appropriate MEPS for three-phase equipment, and therefore agrees to exclude three-phase equipment from off-mode power consumption requirements.

Portable air conditioners

One industry association requested that reporting and verification of the product's energy efficiency not be required to maintain a common North American market, since this is not required yet in the United States. It commented that this verification would come with both costs and resource implications. Although manufacturers are required to use the testing standards if they are making energy efficiency claims in the United States, there is no requirement to submit energy efficiency data. Natural Resources Canada believes that most manufacturers would make representation of their product's capacity or efficiency, and therefore is proposing to keep the reporting and verification requirements.

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 testing standards 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 energy efficiency and testing 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 32}

The Amendment is consistent with the objectives of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and the United States Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs regarding the Canada–United States Regulatory Cooperation Council, signed in June 2018. The Amendment seeks to foster alignment of federal regulations where feasible and appropriate.

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 would benefit Canadians by reducing GHG emissions and energy consumption in homes and buildings, 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 33}

In the absence of a regulatory approach, a market for high energy consuming 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 Amendment has shown that new or more stringent MEPS would generate reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption. The associated energy savings would generate net monetary benefits for Canadian consumers. The analysis has shown that the costs of technologies that would be required to bring low-efficiency products into compliance with the MEPS proposed in this Amendment are outweighed by the overall benefits.

The development of the Amendment was informed by stakeholder views. Industry supports an approach that is aligned with that of the United States when possible, since most product models are designed to serve a Canada–U.S. market. The Amendment is supported by provincial and territorial governments, as its development was informed by work conducted under the framework released by the Energy and Mines Ministers' Conference in 2016 to achieve greater harmonization on energy efficiency standards.

Prescribed MEPS are a proven cost-effective approach to achieving reductions in GHG emissions and energy consumption. The Energy Efficiency Regulations were first introduced in 1995 and have been amended 14 times to increase the stringency of existing MEPS and introduce MEPS for new energy-using products. 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 would come into force six months after publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II. The requirements would 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 would 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 would apply to products affected by the Regulations. These procedures involve cross- checking the required import data received from customs release documents with the energy efficiency reports that dealers have submitted to Natural Resources Canada. This cross-checking ensures that the compliance of regulated products imported into Canada can be verified.

The Regulations would 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 would 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.
Businesses using regulated equipment save money that can lead to increased productivity and competitiveness.

Performance would 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 products 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 34}

A high compliance rate with the Regulations would 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 would be found in departmental business plans, reports on plans and priorities, and the Report to Parliament under the Energy Efficiency Act.
