1. The value of Average EER for Air-Source Air-Conditioners and Heat Pumps is used rather than the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. SEER is based on an indoor
temperature of 80F, an outdoor temperature or 82F, insufficient fan power requirement, and insufficient moisture removal capability in most climates. These
conditions substantially over-predict cooling efficiency. (See "Climatic Impacts on HSPF and SEER for Air-Source Heat Pumps", Fairey, et. al., ASHRAE Transactions,
Vol. 110, Part 2, 2004.)
2. The value of Average EER for Ground Source Heat Pumps is used rather than the Ground Loop Heat Pump (GLHP) Energy Efficiency Ratio. GLHP-EER is based
on an indoor temperature of 80.6F, a ground loop temperature of 77F, and insufficient fan power requirement. These conditions over-predict cooling efficiency
especially in southern climates or when ground loops are poorly installed or under-sized.
3. The capacity and electrical demand of chillers does not include the power use of auxillary equipment and the corresponding heat deduction for distribution of the
chilled water and air. This computation includes the power input of the supply fans, chilled water pumps and condenser pumps. It also includes a correction to account
for the heat introduced into the system by the supply air handler and chilled water pump. It does not include any penalties if return air fans or fan powered VAV
terminals. This can be estimated by adding the total static pressure (TSP) to the supply fan TSP.
