11.3.2.c requires that <b>where efficiency ratings, such as EER and COP,
include fan energy, the descriptor shall be broken down into its components so
that supply fan energy can be modeled separately.</b> Since the efficiency
ratings are calculated at ARI-rated conditions, the fans must also be broken
out at ARI-rated conditions. eQUEST performs this step automatically between
the wizard and detailed interface (for example, a 10.0 EER packaged DX unit
with efficiencies entered in the wizard is shown in the detailed interface with
a cooling-only EIR of 0.2878 (EER = 11.86)). Revise the cooling efficiency in the
Baseline model to exclude fan energy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size:
