PUBLIC LAW 102-486—OCT. 24, 1992 106 STAT. 2811 pumps less than 65,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity), single package, shall be 6.6. "(F) The minimum coefficient of performance in the heating mode of air-cooled central air conditioning heat pimips at or above 65,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) and less than 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 3.0 (at a high temperature rating of 47 degrees F db). "(G) The minimum energy efficiency ratio of water-cooled, evaporatively-cooled and water-source central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps less than 65,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 9.3 (at a standard rating of 95 degrees F db, outdoor temperature for evaporatively cooled equipment, and 85 degrees Falurenheit entering water temperature for water-source and water-cooled equipment). "(H) The minimum energy efficiency ratio of water-cooled, evaporatively-cooled and water-source central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps at or above 65,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) and less than 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 10.5 (at a standard rating of 95 degrees F db, outdoor temperature for evaporatively cooled equipment, and 85 degrees Fahrenheit entering water temperature for water source and water-cooled equipment). "(I) The minimum coefficient of performance in the heating mode of water-source heat pumps less than 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 3.8 (at a standard rating of 70 degrees Fahrenheit entering water). "(2) Each large commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment manufactured on or after Janufury 1, 1995, shall meet the following standard levels: "(A) The minimum energy efficiency ratio of air-cooled central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps at or above 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) and less than 240,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 8.5 (at a standard rating of 95 degrees F db). "(B) The minimum coefficient of performance in the heating mode of air-cooled central air conditioning heat pumps at or above 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) and less than 240,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 2.9.

    • (€) The minimum energy efficiency ratio of water- and

evaporatively-cooled central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps at or above 135,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) and less than 240,000 Btu per hour (cooling capacity) shall be 9.6 (according to ARI Standard 360-86). '^(3) Each packaged terminal air conditioner and packaged terminal heat jpumj) manufactured on or after January 1, 1^4, shall meet the following standard levels: "(A) The minimum energy efficiency ratio (EER) of packaged terminal air conditioners and packaged terminal heat {>umps in the cooling mode shall be 10.0 — (0.16 x Capacity in thousands of Btu per hour at a standard rating of 95 degrees F db, outdoor temperature]). If a unit has a capacity of less than 7,000 Btu per hour, then 7,000 Btu per hour shall be used in the calculation. If a unit has a capacity of greater than 15,000 Btu per hour, then 15,000 Btu per hour shall be used in the calculation. "(B) The minimum coefficient of performance (COP) of packaged terminal heat pumps in the heating mode shall be
