Room air conditioners such as Cassette, Floor Standing Tower, Ceiling, and Corner AC are eligible for BEE registration and star rating. The rating system ranges from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the most energy-efficient. The BEE star rating is based on the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) or the Indian Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ISEER) of the air conditioner.
To register for BEE star rating, the manufacturer of the air conditioner must submit the necessary documents and samples of the product to BEE for testing. The testing is conducted by BEE-approved laboratories, and the results are used to determine the star rating of the air conditioner. Once the star rating is assigned, the manufacturer can use the BEE star label on their product.
The BEE star rating system for room air conditioners has been in place since 2006 and has helped to promote energy-efficient appliances in India. The rating system has also made it easier for consumers to choose energy-efficient air conditioners and has incentivized manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient models.
In conclusion, BEE registration and star rating for room air conditioners such as Cassette, Floor Standing Tower, Ceiling, and Corner AC is a voluntary labeling program that promotes energy efficiency and conservation in the air conditioning industry. The star rating system has made it easier for consumers to choose energy-efficient air conditioners and has incentivized manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient models.
