Q. Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is- Published on 26 Aug 16a. New rating method for ACs
b. A geographical indicator of predicting monsoon
c. A parameter in new Bharat VI norms
d. None of the above
ANSWER: New rating method for ACs
- The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has introduced a new star rating methodology called Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) for air conditioners.
- This evolved rating methodology factors in variance in higher temperature in India and rates air conditioners accordingly.
- Consumers can now purchase air conditioners with higher efficiency leading to lower electricity bills.
- Keeping the performance of air conditioners during higher temperature in mind, ISEER will address the different climatic zones in India and higher temperature.
- ISEER measures energy efficiency of air conditioners based on a weighted average of the performance at outside temperatures between 24 and 43 degree C based on Indian weather data.
