What is the EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio)?
The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is a performance indicator used to measure how efficiently a device utilizes electrical energy. It is calculated by comparing the cooling capacity or output performance of a device with the electrical energy it consumes.
A higher EER value indicates greater energy efficiency and lower power consumption.
