V. 5 U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA): According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA),
starting 2023, new residential central air conditioning and air-source heat pump systems must meet new
minimum energy-efficiency standards. The new HVAC standards will require a seasonal energy- efficiency ratio
(SEER) of no less than 14 SEER for residential systems in the northern part of the country and 15 SEER in the
southern portion, according to the EIA. For air source heat pumps, which use a heating seasonal performance
factor (HSPF) rating, the EIA raised the minimum to 8.8 HSPF, 2019: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.
