Why Dehumidifiers?
Dehumidifiers consume up to 1,000 kWh/year, that is as much energy as a refrigerator!
Product models vary significantly in energy efficiency.
There is large potential for more energy- efficient designs.
Dehumidifier Program
Draft specification covers residential dehumidifiers up to 30 L/day.
Definitions and test protocol are consistent with the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-C749-94.
Draft specification recognizes approximately the top 25% of the current market.
