Future Standards Changes As of June 1, 2014 new room air conditioners must meet the federal standards given in Table 265, Table 266 and Table 267. Therefore the following baseline efficiencies will be effective as of the 2014 TRM. Note that the new federal standards are based on the Combined Energy 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 265, Table 266 and Table 267. The new ENERGY STAR standards will be effective as of the 2014 TRM.
