EER or Energy Efficiency Ratio is how they originally rated cooling appliances like your HVAC or window mounted unit. This rating takes the cooling capacity in Btu/h and divides it by the energy input required in watts (Btu/W-h). Unlike the SEER, this measurment is only taken when it reaches its steady-state and is measured at 80°F indoors and 95°F outdoors.
