ENERGY STAR® – Commercial and Industrial Products
ENERGY STAR qualified products include:
Commercial Cooking Equipment
Commercial kitchens are found in many facilities in addition to restaurants, including bars, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, churches, and institutional cafeterias. Due to the existence of technologies that offer significant energy and/or water savings, advocacy groups and regulators alike have identified several commercial kitchen appliances that lend themselves to energy or water use standards. While there are currently no federal or provincial regulations on energy efficiency in commercial dishwashers, pre-rinse spray valves, or commercial cooking equipment in Canada, ENERGY STAR® prescribes voluntary energy efficiency standards for commercial fryers, commercial hot food holding cabinets, and commercial steam cookers.

Commercial Refrigerated Beverage Vending Machines
Note: Product no longer part of ENERGY STAR in Canada – Refrigerated Beverage Vending Machines
As of January 2008, ENERGY STAR in Canada will discontinue the specification and will drop the list of products than can qualify for ENERGY STAR. The introduction of regulated minimum energy performance standards for refrigerated beverage vending machines, which will be equivalent to the current ENERGY STAR level, was included as part of the Amendment 9 of the Energy Efficiency Regulations, in November 2006. As a result, beverage vending machines manufacturers exporting in Canada must cease using the ENERGY STAR name or symbol to promote the sale of previously qualified distribution vending machines after December 31, 2007.
