ENERGY STAR Purchasing & Procurement resources include lists of qualifying products, key product criteria, drop-in procurement language and savings calculators. Organizations can use these resources to facilitate the procurement of energy-efficient ENERGY STAR products and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
The following is an example of language you may wish to require in your upcoming contract:
The Vendor Must:
Provide single or multi-speed geothermal (GeoExchange) heat pumps that earn the ENERGY STAR and meet the ENERGY STAR specifications for energy efficiency as outlined below. The vendor is encouraged to visit energystar.gov for complete product specifications and an updated list of qualifying products.
Product Type | Current Criteria | |
---|---|---|
EER | COP | |
Closed Loop System With integrated water heater |
14.1 14.1 |
3.3 3.3 |
Open Loop System With integrated water heater |
16.2 16.2 |
3.6 3.6 |
DX System With integrated water heater |
15 15 |
3.5 3.5 |
NOTE: These specifications apply to single-speed models. Multi-speed models may be qualified based on EER = (high speed EER+low speed EER)/2; and COP = (high speed COP+low speed COP)/2.
