Developing federal standards
Provinces can participate in the development and harmonization of federal energy efficiency standards. One example is the Canadian Standards Association Steering Committee on the Performance of Energy Efficiency and Renewables (CSA-SCOPEER) that develops standardized testing protocols to measure the energy performance of equipment devices and systems. Another is the Regulatory Reconciliation and Cooperation Table's (RCT) Steering Committee on Energy Efficiency (SCEE) for household appliances composed of federal, provincial and territorial energy efficiency officials.
