As per BEE regulations, room air conditioners are rated on the basis of their energy efficiency on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Higher the number of stars, the higher is the energy efficiency of the room air conditioner. The star rating parameters for air conditioners manufactured imported or assembled can be viewed or downloaded fromhttp://220.156.189.29/Content/Files/Schedule3A-RAC.pdfOver the years, BEE has changed the energy efficiency ratings of room air conditioners in order to make them more energy efficient and environment friendly. With effect from1st January 2014, BEE has again mandated the change of star rating of room air conditioners based on higher energy efficiency norms. The energy efficiency ratio for split and window type air conditioners shall now be as shown in the Table below In keeping with this change with effect from 1st January 2014,the BEE s tar label on room air conditioners has a green coloured EER strip in place of the earlier red strip, with the label period mentioned on it.
