2. Inverter compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverter_compressor

   Before, fixed-speed on/off compressors required an inrush, or surge, current that was 4 to 6 times greater than the running current at startup, meaning a requirement of 4 to 6 times more solar panels or batteries. Inverter compressors start slowly and avoid this startup power which is needed each time a standard on/off compressor comes on.

3. Nonintrusive load monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonintrusive_load_monitoring

   Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM), nonintrusive appliance load monitoring (NIALM), [1] or energy disaggregation [2] is a process for analyzing changes in the voltage and current going into a house and deducing what appliances are used in the house as well as their individual energy consumption.

4. Thermoelectric cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling

   Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux at the junction of two different types of materials. A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

5. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   A straight swap, AC to DC, will reduce electrical consumption by 50% but applying Demand and Occupancy dependent fan speed control can take the savings to as much as 80%. In areas of the world where there are legally enforceable energy efficiency requirements for fan coils (such as the UK), DC Fan Coil Units are rapidly becoming the only choice.

6. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

   The coefficient of performance or COP (sometimes CP or CoP) of a heat pump, refrigerator or air conditioning system is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Higher COPs equate to higher efficiency, lower energy (power) consumption and thus lower operating costs.

7. Seasonal energy efficiency ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_energy_efficiency...

   Air-conditioner sizes are often given as "tons" of cooling, where 1 ton of cooling equals 12,000 BTU/h (3.5 kW). 1 ton of cooling equals the amount of power that needs to be applied continuously over a 24-hour period to melt 1 ton of ice. The annual cost of electric energy consumed by an air conditioner may be calculated as follows:
