Minimum Efficiency Standards for non-standard size PTAC and PTHP

Source: International Energy Agency
Last updated: 9 June 2020

This standard established that each non-standard size packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) and packaged terminal heat pump (PTHP) manufactured on or after October 7, 2010 must meet the applicable minimum energy efficiency standard level(s) detailed below. As well as each standard size PTAC manufactured on or after October 8, 2012, and before January 1, 2017, and each standard size PTHP manufactured on or after October 8, 2012.

 

PTAC

Standard Size

<7,000 Btu/h - EER = 11.7

=7,000 Btu/h and =15,000 Btu/h - EER = 13.8-(0.3 × Cap 1)

>15,000 Btu/h - EER = 9.3

Non-Standard Size

<7,000 Btu/h - EER = 9.4

=7,000 Btu/h and =15,000 Btu/h - EER = 10.9-(0.213 × Cap 1)

>15,000 Btu/h - EER = 7.7

 

PTHP

Standard Size

<7,000 Btu/h - EER = 11.9 COP = 3.3

=7,000 Btu/h and =15,000 Btu/h - EER = 14.0-(0.3 × Cap 1) COP = 3.7-(0.052 × Cap 1)

>15,000 Btu/h - EER = 9.5 COP = 2.9

Non-Standard Size

<7,000 Btu/h - EER = 9.3 COP = 2.7

=7,000 Btu/h and =15,000 Btu/h - EER = 10.8-(0.213 × Cap 1) COP = 2.9-(0.026 × Cap 1)

>15,000 Btu/h - EER = 7.6 COP = 2.5

 

This standard is partially superseded for what standard size PTAC are concerned. The new standard, valid from January 1, 2017 can be found in another policy entry.
