Comments on Amendment 15 to the Energy Efficiency Regulations on energy efficient heating and ventilation products
To the Director of the Office of Energy Efficiency, Department of Natural Resources:
- We commend the Government of Canada’s renewed efforts to improve and expand the minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for ventilation and heating product categories.
- Modernizing MEPs for heating and ventilation products will encourage innovation aimed at improving energy efficiency.
- Improved energy efficiency is expected to support Canada’s sustainable economic growth, including job growth and increased competitiveness.
- Minimum energy performance standards are one of the most cost-effective tools the Government can use to support significant GHG emissions reductions.
