Building-efficiency tool
The Building Efficiency System Tool (BEST) is a total commercial-building HVAC system efficiency-comparison tool. Available online and at no charge, the software compares different styles of HVAC systems, all tested to different standards, with various efficiency ratings such as EER, IEER, SEER, COP, and HSFP, as they are applied in an actual building. It uses the Building Energy Efficiency Ratio (BEER), which takes data and combines it to bridge the gap between certified equipment efficiencies and real-world building-system efficiencies.
