CEE Room Air Conditioner Specification

The 2022 CEE Home Appliances Initiative and Room Air Conditioner (AC) Specification revision was prompted in response to significant technical developments, including the market introduction of room ACs with efficient variable output, which offer an increased savings opportunity for efficiency programs. The CEE tiers seek to identify meaningful levels of energy savings beyond the US Department of Energy federal minimum efficiency standard for room ACs. The scope of the CEE Room AC Specification is limited to window units without reverse cycle. CEE uses Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER) to qualify models for the CEE Room AC Specification.
