EIR is used in eQUEST,all the EER/SEER/HSPF will be converted to EIR finally.

Cooling EIR=(1/EER-0.012167)/((1/3.413)+0.012167) Where the constant 0.012167=(365/1000)(400/12000) EER=SEER0.778+1.4

Heating EIR = (1/(COP3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167) Heating EIR = (1/((HSPF0.28+1.13)*3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167)

Heating EIR = (1/(COP3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167) Heating EIR = (1/((HSPF0.28+1.13)*3.413)-0.012167)/((1/3.413)-0.012167)
