Scope:

This Standard specifies test methods and performance criteria for determining the heating season coefficients 
of performance (TCOPHS and GCOPHS) of weatherized and non-weatherized gas-fired package furnaces 
that might or might not include features that enable the provision of ventilation air and/or air cooling, in addition to space heating. This Standard also includes systems that have the primary function of providing ventilation air and that are capable of heating the ventilation air. 

Project need:

To update the current standard due to user experience/feedback/new technology. Also, this Standard is intended to provide "cold climate" performance criteria, which represents that of package furnaces used in the colder climates typically found in Canada and other northern locations.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
