The formula to calculate the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) is:
\[ \text{SEER} = \frac{\text{HR}}{\text{EC}} \]
Where:
SEER, short for seasonal energy efficiency ratio, is a measure used to describe the efficiency of a cooling system, most commonly an air-conditioner. SEER is a ratio of the energy removed from the air to the power consumed by the system. It is similar to a coefficient of performance (COP), but that coefficient is unitless as it compares input power to output power.
Example:
Step 1: Calculate the SEER:
\[ \text{SEER} = \frac{36000}{3000} = 12 \text{ BTUs/Wh} \]
