European Union Energy Label - Air Conditioners

Air Conditioners

For air conditioners, the directive applies only to units under 12 kW. On every label, you will find:

  • the model,
  • the energy efficiency category from A to G,
  • the annual energy consumption (full load at 500 hr per year)
  • the cooling output at full load in kW
  • the energy efficiency ratio in cooling mode at full load
  • the appliance type (cooling only, cooling/heating)
  • the cooling mode (air- or water-cooled)
  • the noise rating in dB (where applicable)

For air conditioners with heating capability, you will also find:

  • the heat output at full load in kW
  • the heating mode energy efficiency category
Air conditioners, cooling EER in W/W
A B C D E F G
>3.2 3.0-3.2 2.8-3.0 2.6-2.8 2.4-2.6 2.2-2.4 <2.2
Air conditioners, heating COP in W/W
A B C D E F G
>3.6 3.4-3.6 3.2-3.4 3.0-3.2 2.8-3.0 2.6-2.8 2.4-2.6

Note that there exists units with EER and COP > 5, so take a note of the actual number when it is A rated.

Famous quotes containing the word air:

    “This was Venice, the flattering and suspect beauty—this city, half fairy tale and half tourist trap, in whose insalubrious air the arts once rankly and voluptuously blossomed, where composers have been inspired to lulling tones of somniferous eroticism.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
