=Optional CF from EDC data gathering Table 269 lists the minimum federal efficiency standards as of June 2014 and minimum ENERGY STAR efficiency standards for RAC units of various capacity ranges and with and without louvered sides. Units without louvered sides are also referred to as the units or “through wall” units. Note that the new federal standards are based on the Combined Energy “built-in” Efficiency Ratio Metric (CEER), which is a metric that incorporates energy use in all modes, including standby and off modes. Also, as of October 1, 2013 ENERGY STAR Room Air Conditioner Version 3.0 will take effect. The new eligibility criteria are given in Table 269, Table 270 and Table 271.

Casement-only refers to a RAC designed for mounting in a casement window with an encased assembly with a width of 14.8 inches or less and a height of 11.2 inches or less. Casement-slider refers to a RAC with an encased assembly designed for mounting in a sliding or casement window with a width of 15.5 inches or less.
