These products must consist of a matched set of two or more air-to-water heat exchangers
that are designed to be located in the supply air and exhaust air ducts, and interconnected
with a pumped circuit containing water, or water and glycol.

eligible for inclusion on the Energy Technology Product List, products must meet the
eligibility criteria as set out below.
3. Eligibility Criteria
Performance criteria
Products must have:
A net sensible effectiveness at the products maximum rated air flow under
balanced flow conditions that is greater than or equal to the values set out in Table
1 below.
A pressure drop across each side of the heat exchanger(s) within the product at the
products maximum rated air flow that is less than the values set out in Table 1
below.

Where the net sensible effectiveness should be calculated using the formulae in Appendix
C3 of AHRI 1060:2005, and the test data collected when rating the products performance
in heating mode at the test conditions specified in the selected standard.
Where the product is not tested in accordance with AHRI 1060: 2005, then the Exhaust Air
Transfer Ratio (EATR) may be determined using the internal exhaust air leakage rate
obtained under section 5.3 of BS EN 308: 1997, or the carryover mass flow rate obtained
under section 5.4 of BS EN 308: 1997 (as appropriate), or the leaking rate obtained under
section 3.1.5 (b) of JIS B 8628: 2003.
For run-around coils, EATR value of zero should be used when calculating net sensible
effectiveness.
Where products are too large to be been tested at their maximum rated air flow under the
standard test conditions specified in AHRI 1060: 2005, BS EN 308: 1997 or JIS B 8628: 2003,
then performance data obtained at other test conditions may be extrapolated using
validated models (or correlations), in accordance with the methodology outlined in
Appendix D of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 84-2008.
Test results may be submitted in summary form provided:
Representative Testing
Where applications are being made for two or more products that are variants of the same
basic design, test data may be submitted for a representative selection of models, provided
that all variants:

4. Scope of Claim
Expenditure on the provision of plant and machinery can include not only the actual costs
of buying the equipment, but other direct costs such as the transport of the equipment to
site, and some of the direct costs of installation. Clarity on the eligibility of direct costs is
