"The ecoENERGY Efficiency program:
– supports the development and implementation of energy codes, benchmarking tools, training and information materials to improve the energy efficiency of commercial and institutional buildings in Canada;
– enables and promotes the construction and retrofit of energy efficient low-rise residential housing through the EnerGuide Rating System, the R-2000 Standard, and ENERGY STAR for New Homes initiatives;
– introduces or raises energy efficiency standards for a range of products, and promotes energy-efficient products through the ENERGY STAR initiative;
– aids the adoption and implementation of an energy management standard in Canada, accelerates energy-savings investments in industrial facilities and supports the exchange of best-practices information within Canada’s industrial sector; and,
– provides Canadians with decision-making tools for buying more fuel efficient vehicles including introducing improved vehicle fuel consumption labels. It also provides Canadians and Canada’s commercial/institutional fleet sector with information to operate their vehicles to reduce fuel consumption by exposing drivers to fuel-efficient driving techniques.
Note: The estimated mitigation impact of 6,500 kt in 2020 only includes energy efficiency impacts associated with policies and measures that occurred since Canada’s 5th National Communication and associated in-depth review in 2011. This figure does not include the estimated mitigation impact of 44,750 kt in 2020 resulting from energy efficiency standards published prior to 2011." (6th National Communication)
