COP can be treated as an efficiency where COP of 2.00 = 200% efficient for unitary heat
pumps, ratings at two standard outdoor temperatures of 47F and 17F (8.3C and
-8.3C) are typically used.

Energy Efficiency Ratio EER

The Energy Efficiency Ratio - EER - is a term generally used to define the cooling
efficiency of unitary air-conditioning and heat pump systems. The efficiency is
determined at a single rated condition specified by the appropriate equipment standard
and is defined as the ratio of net cooling capacity - or heat removed in Btu/h (not in
tons) - to the total input rate of electric energy applied - in watt hour (not in kW). The
units of EER are Btu/W-hr.
EER = Hc /Pa
Where
EER = Energy efficient ratio (Btu/W-hr)
Hc = net cooling capacity (Btu/hr)
Pa = applied energy (Watts)
This efficiency term typically includes the energy requirement of auxiliary systems such
as the indoor and outdoor fans and the higher the EER the more efficient is the system.
Energy efficiency ratio is further categorized as Energy efficiency ratio (EER) and
Seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER):
The cooling equipment systems such as room air conditioners, heat pumps etc used in
residential and small commercial buildings often express cooling system efficiency in
terms of the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).
The central air-conditioning equipment used in large residential and commercial
buildings expresses cooling system efficiency in terms of the Seasonal Energy Efficiency
Ratio (SEER).
Recommended selection of room air conditioners is EER of at least 9.0 for mild climates
and over 10 for hot climates and for central air conditioning system it is tested to be as
high as 17 units. The U.S. Government's minimum efficiency level is 10 SEER for split
systems and 9.7 for packaged units.
Efficiency - Heating Systems
Turndown Ratio = Maximum Firing Rate: Minimum Firing Rate (i.e., 5:1, 10:1, 25:1)
Overall Thermal Efficiency = (Gross Btu Output / Gross Btu Input) x 100%
Overall Thermal Efficiency Range 75%90%
Combustion Efficiency = {(Btu Input Btu Stack Loss) / Btu Input} x 100%
Combustion Efficiency Range 85%95%
