EER stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio, which is a steady-state rating that measures the cooling capacity of an air conditioning unit divided by its power consumption. It does not take into account the time it takes for the unit to reach peak efficiency or any fluctuations in temperature, but it is still a useful measure of energy efficiency for comparison purposes. ARR (Annualized Run Rating), SAR (Seasonal Adjusted Rating), and DER (Daily Energy Rating) are all types of energy efficiency ratings, but they are not specifically related to air conditioning units and may not be relevant in this context.
