Early compliance

4. (1) Despite section 2, for the purposes of section 25.35.7 of the Act, a person may apply a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply to an appliance or product if it were manufactured on a future date if the person complies with the following rules:

1. The person shall select a notional future date and apply both the testing standard and the efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date.

2. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates a document by reference as of a fixed date, the person shall,

i. use the version of the incorporated document as it reads on the fixed date, and

ii. apply the testing standard or the efficiency standard or requirement set out in the incorporated document that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date referred to in paragraph 1.

3. If a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation incorporates by reference a document as it reads on the date the particular appliance or product is manufactured the person shall,

i. use the version of the incorporated document that is in effect on the actual date the particular product or appliance is manufactured, and

ii. apply the testing standard or the efficiency standard or requirement set out in the incorporated standard that would apply if the appliance or product were manufactured on the notional future date referred to in paragraph 1.

(2) For greater certainty, early compliance under subsection (1) is not permitted if,

(a) section 1 of the applicable Schedule to this Regulation does not provide for a testing standard and an efficiency standard or requirement that would apply to the particular appliance or product on the notional future date selected under paragraph 1 of subsection (1); or

(b) an incorporated document does not set out either a testing standard or an efficiency standard or requirement that would apply to the particular appliance or product on the notional future date or the actual date, as the case may be.

Equivalent testing standard

5. Where a testing standard is set out in section 1 of a Schedule to this Regulation, the person who is to apply the standard may apply a different standard, or a combination of standards or components of standards, as long as the person is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the testing standard, as it pertains to the prescribed efficiency standard or requirement, is equivalent.

More specific scope of application prevails

6. If more than one scope of application set out in the Schedules to this Regulation applies to an appliance or product, the scope of application that applies most specifically to the appliance or product is the one to be applied.

Alternative methods of determining energy efficiency

7. Where a Schedule to this Regulation makes reference in a testing standard to Part 430 or 431 of the U.S. DOE 10 Code of Federal Regulations with respect to a date or period, the reference is to be read as incorporating any alternative methods of determining energy efficiency or energy use that, under section 429.70 of that Code and any other provisions of Part 429 referred to in section 429.70, may be applied with respect to Part 430 or 431 as of that date or period, but, for greater certainty, all requirements under sections 9 and 10 of this Regulation continue to apply.

Waivers and exceptions

8. Where a Schedule to this Regulation makes reference in a testing standard or efficiency requirement to U.S. DOE 10 Code of Federal Regulations as it read on the date an appliance or product is manufactured, any waiver or exception to the testing standard or efficiency requirement that applies to the appliance or product under that Code in response to the petition of a manufacturer is also incorporated, subject to any conditions that apply to that waiver or exception.

Circumstances permitting use of prescribed labels, etc.

C. glazing replacements in an existing sash or frame, if the U-factor of the replacement glazing is equal to or less than the U-factor of the original glazing,

D. decorative sidelights for doors,

E. windows that are designed for a specific building, and

F. windows that fall outside the scope of the certification programs of the designated organizations described in subsections 9 (2) and (3) of this Regulation.

iv. Prescribed efficiency standard or requirement:

A. double-glazed with a low-E coating for basement windows that incorporate a loadbearing structural frame, and

B. in all other cases, U-factor ≤ 2.0 W/(m²C) or an energy rating ≥ 17.

1.1. Window, intended for low-rise residential building:

i. Date of manufacture: January 1, 2022 or later.

ii. Testing standard: One of the following:

A. CAN/CSA A440.2:19/A440.3:19, Fenestration energy performance.

B. NFRC 100-2020 Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product U-Factors or for determining the energy rating, NFRC 200-2020 Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and Visible Transmittance at Normal Incidence.

A. Decorative windows that have stained glass panels, iron inserts or blinds contained in a sealed insulating glass unit.

B. Heritage replacement windows intended to be installed in a heritage building.

C. Glazing replacements in an existing sash or frame, if the U-factor of the replacement glazing is equal to or less than the U-factor of the original glazing.

D. Decorative sidelights for doors.

E. Windows that are designed for a specific building.

F. Windows that fall outside the scope of the certification programs of the designated organizations described in subsections 9 (2) and (3) of this Regulation.

iv. Prescribed efficiency standard or requirement:

A. For basement windows that incorporate a loadbearing structural frame, double-glazed with a low-E coating.

B. For all other windows, U-factor ≤ 1.61 W/(m²C) or an energy rating ≥ 25.

Interpretation

2. (1) In this Schedule, “building area”, “building height” and “residential occupancy” have the same meaning as in Ontario Regulation 332/12 (Building Code) made under the Building Code Act, 1992.

(2) In this Schedule,

“heritage replacement window” means a window that conserves, protects or preserves the cultural heritage value of the heritage building.

(3) For the purposes of this Schedule, a heritage building is a building or structure that satisfies one or more of the following criteria, or that is located on property that satisfies one or more of the following criteria:

1. The property is the subject of a covenant or agreement between the owner of the property and a conservation body, a government or a government agency and executed with the primary purpose of preserving, conserving and maintaining a cultural heritage feature or resource, or preventing its destruction, demolition or loss.

2. The property is listed in a register or inventory of heritage properties maintained by municipal, provincial or federal governments or government agencies.

3. The property is the subject of a municipal, provincial or federal commemorative or interpretive heritage plaque.

4. The property is part of a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site.

5. The property is included in the list of provincial heritage properties identified under Part III.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act that is maintained by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

6. The property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act or is subject to a notice of intention to designate under Part IV of that Act.

7. The property is located within a heritage conservation district designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.

8. The property is subject to a Heritage Conservation District study area bylaw made under the Ontario Heritage Act.

9. The property is part of a national historic site of Canada set apart under the Canada National Parks Act, or is marked or commemorated under the Historic Sites and Monuments Act (Canada), or both.

10. The building or structure is designated as a heritage railway station under the Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act (Canada).

11. The building or structure is registered by the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office as a classified or recognized heritage building.
