Provide feedback on proposed amendments to the Energy Efficiency Standards Regulation (EESR)
|
The British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation is seeking feedback on the proposed amendments to the Energy Efficiency Standards Regulation (EESR) to implement the highest efficiency equipment standards for space and water heating, effective 2030 or earlier.
Once the amendments come into effect on January 1st, 2030, the point of sale standards will require all new space and water heating equipment sold and installed in B.C. to be high-efficiency, low carbon equipment such as heat pumps, electric resistance and dual fuel systems which combine an electric heat pump with a conventional gas- or oil-fired appliance.
The proposal covers the following heating equipment categories:
- Residential forced air systems (i.e. gas furnaces);
- Residential hydronic heating systems (i.e. gas boilers);
- Domestic water heaters (i.e. storage and instantaneous water heaters); and
- Weatherized gas-fired packaged units (i.e. rooftop and makeup air units).
|
|
|
Please note, feedback must be submitted by February 15th, 2024. |
