37. Energy Performance Ratings

38. Performance Ratings COP: coefficient of performance EER: energy efficiency at full load SEER: seasonal energy efficiency ratio Note: SEER≈COP x 3.413

39. Annual Fuel Consumption

40. Annual Fuel Usage (E) E= UA x CDH(BPT) SEER where: UA: cooling load/ºF CDH(BPT): degree hours for balance point SEER: seasonal energy efficiency rating

42. Annual Fuel Usage Example Compare two systems to determine what is the expected annual electrical usage for an apartment in Salt Lake City if its peak cooling load is 12,000 Btuh? UA=Q/ΔT UA=12,000/20= 600 Btuh/ºF

43. Determine SEER Obtain SEER from manufacturer’s data or Convert COP to SEER SEER: 5-15 For this example: SEER1=6.8 SEER2=10.2

44. Annual Fuel Usage — Electricity E= UA x CDH74 SEER E1 =(600)(9,898)/(6.8) =873,353 wh/yr =873 kwh/yr If electricity is $0.0735/kwh, then annual cost = $64

45. Annual Fuel Usage — Electricity E= UA x CDH74 SEER E2 =(600)(9,898)/(10.2) =582,235 wh/yr =582 kwh/yr If electricity is $0.0735/kwh, then annual cost = $43
