Convert SEER to EER for eQUEST
I am sure this question has been asked many times before in the onebuilding list but I wanted to have it answered here as well. When ASHRAE 90.1 or MNECB/CNEB ask for a performance rating for a cooling system in SEER, how does one convert this SEER value into an EER to be used in eQUEST?
I know equest uses some formula of conversion in the wizards however where does this formula come from? is it really applicable? I am interested in hearing some thoughts on this subject.
Thanks!
