Using CCMS for CEE Qualification for Residential HVAC Products – Revised Templates for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Other than Multi-Split Systems, Appendix M1, v5.2 and Multi-Split System Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps, Appendix M1, v5.4

DOE is now collecting data on the CCMS web site that will help manufacturers get their models qualified for the 2023 Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) specifications for central air conditioners and heat pumps. To facilitate the submittal of this data, which is on a voluntary basis, DOE has issued revised versions of the Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Other than Multi-Split Systems, Appendix M1, v5.2 and Multi-Split System Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps, Appendix M1, v5.4 templates that contain additional data fields specific to the CEE specifications. Manufacturers seeking CEE Tier 1 (or 2, if applicable) qualification for their models can submit the rating data needed for determining qualification using these new data fields. The submitted data will be evaluated for qualification under the applicable CEE specifications.

As noted previously, completion of these additional fields is voluntary and completing or not completing them will have no impact on certification of models to DOE.  However, if a manufacturer desires to have a model included on a qualified product list for any of its basic models under the applicable CEE product specification, the CEE data fields must contain the specified data for those models. To ensure that CEE-qualified models currently in production remain on the CEE qualified product list, subsequent data submittals in CCMS must continue to include the data in the CEE fields.  Leaving those fields blank in subsequent submissions may result in those basic models being dropped from the current CEE qualified product list.

These new templates may be used immediately, but the previous Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Other than Multi-Split Systems, Appendix M1, v5.1 and Multi-Split System Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps, Appendix M1, v5.3 templates may continue to be used through April 20, 2023.

Instructions for completing the templates can be found here.
