The general form of the equation for the ENERGY STAR Room Air Conditioners (RAC) measure savings algorithm is: Total Savings To determine resource savings, the per-unit estimates in the algorithms will be multiplied by the number of room air conditioners. The number of room air conditioners will be determined using market assessments and market tracking. As of June 1, 2014 RAC units will have a rating as well as an is the “CEER” “EER”. CEER Energy Efficiency which incorporates standby power into the calculation. This “Combined Ratio”, will be the value used in the calculation.
