"This report was revised slightly in July 2013 to further clarify that the results are focused on simulation of whole-building interactions of window air conditioners, and should not be used to establish appliance compliance with efficiency standards."--P. [ii]. |

| Summary |
Window air conditioners are the dominant cooling product for residences, in terms of annual unit sales. They are inexpensive, portable and can be installed by the owner. For this reason, they are an attractive solution for supplemental cooling, for retrofitting air conditioning into a home which lacks ductwork, and for renters. Window air conditioners for sale in the United States are required to meet very modest minimum efficiency standards. Four window air conditioners' performance were tested in the Advanced HVAC Systems Laboratory on NREL's campus in Golden, CO ... Tests were designed to develop a detailed performance map to determine whole-house performance in different climates. |
