Our IEER to EER calculator converts your IEER rating to an equivalent EER rating easily.
How to Use This Calculator
To use the IEER to EER calculator, simply input the Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER) and the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) into the respective fields. Then, click on the “Calculate” button to get the estimated Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER).
How It Works
This calculator uses the provided IEER and SEER values to calculate an approximate EER using the formula:
EER ≈ (IEER + SEER) / 2
This formula assumes that both IEER and SEER provide equally weighted contributions to the EER approximation. The result is displayed in the “Result” field.
Limitations
Please be aware that the calculation provided is an approximation. The actual EER can vary significantly based on specific device characteristics, operational conditions, and other factors. For precise values, consult the manufacturer’s specifications or a professional engineer.
