Our project has a WSHP bigger than 135000 btu/h. According to CPG table 2.9.2 the efficiency required for WSHP up to 135000 btu/h is 14 EER and the WSHP of our project has a 14.1 EER.

Since the table doesn't list efficiencies for WSHPs bigger than 135000 btu/h, Do we comply with the credit requirement?

Thanks in advance.

I think so. If the equipment you install is not covered by the standard then I think you comply by default.

Thanks Marcus. For the same project we have another doubt. In table 2.9.1 of CPG for unitary air conditioners and condensing units the required efficiency is expressed on EER and SEER. Can we comply with credit requirements achieving just EER or SEER, or are needed both?
