SUBDIVISION ESingle Package Vertical Air Conditioners
Marginal note:Definition of single package vertical air conditioner
128 In this Subdivision, single package vertical air conditioner means a single package commercial air conditioner, with or without heating capability, that has its major components arranged vertically, is air-cooled and encased and is intended for mounting through, or on either side of, an exterior wall. It does not include a single package commercial air conditioner that has reverse cycle refrigeration.
Marginal note:Energy-using product
129 (1) A single package vertical air conditioner is prescribed as an energy-using product.
Marginal note:Limit
(2) However, for the purposes of sections 4, 5 and 130, a single package vertical air conditioner is not considered to be an energy-using product unless it is manufactured on or after January 1, 2011 and has a cooling capacity of less than 70 kW (240,000 Btu/h).
Marginal note:Energy efficiency standards
130 (1) The energy efficiency standards set out in column 2 of the table to this section apply to single package vertical air conditioners described in column 1 that are manufactured during the periods set out in column 3.
Marginal note:Testing standard
(2) A single package vertical air conditioner complies with the energy efficiency standard if it meets that standard when tested in accordance with testing procedures established by CSA C746-17 that are applicable to a single package vertical air conditioner as defined in section 128.
