Program Scope
This program applies to unitary air-conditioners, air-source unitary heat pumps, single packaged and split systems; and air-conditioning coils (and air-handling products with air-conditioning coils) and heat pump coils (and air-handling products with heat pump coils) that a coil-only manufacturer rates as a system with other manufacturer’s outdoor units that are rated below 65,000 Btu/h cooling.

Where a

• Unitary Air-Conditioner is one or more factory-made assemblies ordinarily including an evaporator or cooling coil(s), compressor(s), and condenser(s) and may include a heating function.
• Air-Source Unitary Heat Pump is one or more factory-made assemblies ordinarily including an evaporator or cooling coil(s), compressors(s), condenser(s), and a heating function.
• Single Packaged System is a system in which all components are integrated into one cabinet.
• Split System is a system in which components are provided in separate assemblies but are designed to be used together.

Certified Ratings
The following ratings are certified by test:

Unitary Air-Conditioners

• Air-cooled under 65,000 Btu/h [19,000 W]

1. AHRI Standard Rating Cooling Capacity, Btu/h [W]
2. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, SEER, Btu/(W·h)

• Water-cooled and evaporative-cooled under 65,000 Btu/h [19,000 W]

1. AHRI Standard Rating Cooling Capacity, Btu/h [W]
2. Energy Efficiency Ratio, EER, Btu/(W·h) [Verified]

Air-Source Unitary Heat Pumps

• Air-cooled under 65,000 Btu/h [19,000 W]

1. AHRI Standard Rating Cooling Capacity, Btu/h [W]
2. Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, SEER, Btu/(W·h)
3. High Temperature Heating Standard Rating Capacity, Btu/h [W]
4. Region IV Heating Seasonal Performance Factor, HSPF, Minimum Design Heating Requirement, Btu/(W·h)
