July 10, 2002—Global Energy has introduced a new line of commercial air-conditioners that improves energy efficiency, resulting in lower electricity usage.
Global Energy’s units received high ratings based on ARI Standard 340/360 of the Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Institute (ARI), an independent industry group that certifies the energy efficiency ratings of air conditioning units. ARI certifies the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for each commercially available air conditioner. The higher the rating, the more efficient the equipment is in cooling air.
“Our new Inventor Series 1400 line of rooftop units have been tested by ARI and carry an EER rating of 13.5,” said Richardson. “By incorporating patented Global Energy technologies into traditional current rooftop air conditioner designs,” Richardson continued, “we are able to ‘raise the bar’ for energy efficiency in our industry. Previously, high-efficiency units carried an EER rating ranging between 11.0 and 12.0. With our rating of 13.5, our products will establish a new standard in efficiency.”
Global Energy is currently offering the EER+ technology in a retrofit unit that modifies existing rooftop air-conditioners. Over the past two years, several retrofit units have been installed in Florida, including U.S. Post Offices, public schools and a military base. The Inventor Series 1400 will be a complete roof-top unit and will be available on a limited production basis in September 2002.
