<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>Last time I checked, VRV was not ARI certified for its efficiency
ratings at any level above 13 SEER due to the fact that the VRV equipment, by
its nature, can be coupled with multiple coil configurations. (e.g. Different
indoor equipment combinations)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>ARI addressed this problem by simply stating that all VRV equipment
was thus rated at 13 SEER. They know it will go well beyond that, but without
knowing the particulars about the installation, there is no way to tell. You
could, of course, rely on manufacturer's data to tell you, but I'm not sure if
you would be following the letter of the law in that instance. Other group
members would have to chime in to give their interpretation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
