Fenestration Canada has received the below letter advising Canadian Energy Star participants of the new submission date for the updated Participant Agreement. The new date for approving your PA is September 29th, 2023. We are continuing to reach out to ES to get clarity on the changes, and the new Shipment Data gathering they have introduced. We will provide updates as soon as we receive them.
Dear ENERGY STAR participant,
I hope that this email finds you well; my name is Jude Louis, and I am the Account Manager of
ENERGY STAR program for fenestration products (windows, doors, and skylights) at Natural
Resources Canada. I am contacting you to remind you about the renewal of the Participant
Administrative Arrangement for all the ENERGY STAR Canada participants. Although your
current Participant Administrative Arrangement might be still valid, I am sharing with you an
updated version of the Participant administrative Arrangement from which additional
information will be required on a yearly basis, especially the unit shipment data. Therefore, you
will notice the following change in the attached template, in the “participant commitments”
section of page 2:
The Participant is required to submit by March 1 st unit shipment data of the previous Calendar
Year annually, or as requested by NRCan, starting in 2024 for 2023 shipment data.
As mentioned above, this piece of information is mandatory and will significantly help to
improve the ENERGY STAR program. While we understand that this additional piece of
information might require extra work within your organization, the deadline to submit the Unit
Shipment Data is March 1 of every year, the first data to be submitted is for 2023 year and the
deadline is March 1, 2024.
Please see attached the updated version of the Participant Administrative Arrangement.
The ENERGY STAR Canada team has decided to extend the deadline to give every participant
the chance to renew their PAAs, therefore it would be appreciated if you could read carefully
and sign the new Participation Administrative Arrangement then return it to Sophie Southin at
sophie.southin@nrcan-rncan.gc.ca by September 29, 2023. Please direct any question you may
have about this document to Sophie Southin as well.
In terms of confidentiality, we would like to reassure you that the Unit shipment Data that you
will provide will remain confidential and will not be shared with any third party.
The ENERGY STAR Team looks forward to working with you to improve the program impacts on
a positive manner.
Please ignore this message in case you have recently submitted this new 2023 Participant
Administrative Arrangement.
