In the United States, use is made of the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). This standard is similar to the ESEER and is calculated by dividing the cooling load of a system per year (QC) by the annual power consumption (QCE). Here too: the higher the outcome, the more energy efficient the unit is.
SEER = Qc / Qce
An SEER value of 5.00 means that the power consumption of only 1 kW is good for an average cooling capacity of 5 kW per year. On average, 14.00 is a good SEER value, but some systems can even achieve a value of 23.00.
According to Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2016/2281, the measuring amount (calculated according to technical standard 14825) must be given. This is mandatory to obtain a CE marking, because the minimum prescribed efficiency values must be met. Take note: this only applies for comfort cooling in buildings that primarily accommodate people.
