Energy Star Canada - Welcome Introduction

Energy Star Canada - Welcome Introduction

ENERGY STAR is the international symbol for energy efficiency – a simple way for consumers to identify products that are among the top energy performers on the market.
Products bearing the ENERGY STAR symbol help save energy and money and protect our environment.

ENERGY STAR Canada is a voluntary partnership between the Government of Canada and organizations in public, private and not-for-profit sectors to promote energy efficiency.

ENERGY STAR makes it easy for Canadian to make energy efficient choices that help them save money on energy bills, increase their competitiveness, and fight climate change.

Partnering with the United States
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) administers and promotes the use of the ENERGY STAR name and symbol in Canada under an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Canada became an international partner in the program in 2001.
NRCan works closely with the EPA to develop ENERGY STAR technical specifications for products. It also develops Canadian specifications for certain ENERGY STAR certified products.

Three tools for energy efficiency In Canada

ENERGY STAR is one of three devices that consumers, governments, and businesses use to advance energy efficiency in Canada.
•    Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for energy-using products.
•    EnerGuide is Canada’s energy-efficiency labeling program and rating system for significant appliances, room air conditioners and some heating and ventilating equipment.
•    The ENERGY STAR symbol identifies products that have met or exceeded technical specifications for high efficiency.
