ABSTRACT
The objective of this survey was to gather baseline information in preparation for a technical and
financial feasibility study for promoting efficient air conditioners or replacing inefficient air conditioning
units with more efficient ones among government buildings. Air con inventory and utilization
questionnaires were sent to 120 government agencies and government-owned corporations, of which
54 responded. The survey counted a total of 4,473 air con units installed within the buildings of the 54
respondents. The units were practically evenly divided between window type and split type units.
Centralized air cons comprised only 1% of the total air conditioners. Majority of window type units had
cooling capacities of 18,900-19,000 kJ/h, while units with 60,000 kJ/h cooling capacities are the most
predominant among split type units. Of the total, some 2,040 units included information on their
operating age. More than one-third (39%) of these had been operating for at least 10 years. A close look
at the correlation between age and energy efficiency ratios (EER) suggested that units that are more
than 10 years old do not necessarily have low EER values. In fact, some air cons that are more than 10
years old have very high EERs. Majority (79%) of air cons that reported their EERs were above the new
minimum energy performance standards, or equivalent to 1-star rating, by the Philippine National
Standards. In fact, most had 4-star rating. Replacing all air cons that do not comply with the MEPs with
air cons that have higher EER values have a potential total monthly electricity savings of Php 693,000
(USD16,500) to PhP 981,000 (USD23,360), with paybacks ranging from a high of 30 months to a low of
eight months. In fact, replacing with higher EER air cons significantly reduces the payback period.

1.0 Introduction
This survey was conducted to gather baseline information on air conditioning utilization among
government buildings in Metro Manila in preparation for an investigation on the technical and
financial feasibility of switching to more efficient air conditioning units or air cons. Air cons inventoryand use questionnaires, which benefitted from the comments and inputs of the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP), were sent by the Department of Energy (DOE) to 120 government
agencies. 54 agencies had responded to the survey, and their responses formed the basis of the
present study. The study is of course limited by the quantity and quality of information provided by
the respondents. Many respondents did provide a good quantity of quality data. Nevertheless, data
collected for selected agencies were validated through the ensuing field visits and inspection. The
DOE and International Copper Association South East Asia (ICASEA), with assistance from
CleanEnergy Solutions International (CSI), visited and validated the responses of the Philippine
Health Insurance Corporation, Local Water Utilities Administration, Securities and Exchange
Commission, National Housing Authority, and Department of Public Works and Highways. Indeed,
the visits provided more and better insights on air conditioning utilization among government
buildings. This report was prepared by CSI on behalf of DOE and ICASEA.
2.0 Respondents
The air cons inventory questionnaires were sent to 120 government agencies. 54 responded and are
listed and classified in Table 1. Majority of the respondents (19) are government agencies or
bureaus either directly supervised by the Office of the President or by different government
departments. On the other hand, 16 are Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs),
one of which is a development bank. Nine are government executive departments that provided air
con data on their main offices, along with two field or satellite offices. Five are research entities, of
which three are under the Department of Science and Technology, one supervised by the
Department of Agriculture, and one under the Department of Finance. Four of the respondents are
regulatory bodies (Toll Regulatory Board, Games and Amusements Board, Insurance Commission,
and Dangerous Drugs Board). The government-owned television network, People’s Television
Network, also participated in this study.

3.0 Number of Air Conditioners
A total of 4,473 air conditioners have been reported by the respondents. These consist of window
type units, split type units and centralized air conditioners. Figure 1 shows the breakdown of air con
types. The tally for split type air cons includes both floor standing and wall mounted split units. Thereported air cons are almost equally divided into window and split type units, with centralized units
comprising just a mere 1% of all air cons.
Figure 1: Breakdown of Air Conditioners Types
Among all the respondents, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has the highest
number of air conditioners with a total of 662 window and split type units. Following the DPWH are
the Department of Energy (245 air cons) and Department of Science and Technology – Industrial
Development Technology Institute (244 air cons). Table 2 lists the top 10 respondents with the
highest number of operating air conditioners. The units of these 10 agencies comprise 52% of the
total air cons in this study. The complete ranking of all respondents is in Annex 1.

3.2 Split Type Air Conditioners
The split type air conditioner comprises of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The outdoor unit
houses the compressor and condenser, while the indoor unit encloses the evaporator coil and
cooling fan. Split type units do not require mounting through walls. It only needs a small hole for the
conduit that connects the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor units of split type air cons may be
wall-mounted or floor-standing.
The Department of Public Works and Highways also has the most number of split type air
conditioners with 304 units. The Philippine Ports Authority follows with 207 split type units, which
are all its air cons. These split type units include both wall-mounted and floor standing split units.

Centralized Air Conditioners
The centralized air conditioning system uses ducts to distribute cooled air, or pipes to distributechilled water to heat exchangers to multiple rooms. Among the 54 respondents, 10 use centralized
air conditioners. Agencies that do not own the centralized air cons they use such as those that lease
space in the buildings they are in are not included in this tally. The complete list of respondents with
operational centralized air conditioners is in Table 5.

4.0 Air Conditioner Capacities
The succeeding graphs (Figure 2 -
Figure 4) show the breakdown of air con units according to their cooling capacities. Among window
type air cons, units with cooling capacities 18,900 – 19,000 kJ/h are the predominant (totaling 573
units). In the market, these units are more commonly referred to as 2HP units (although there is no
equivalence between the HP and kJ/h ratings). These make up 25% of all window type units
reported.
The 60,000 kJ/h (5 Tons) units are the most commonly used split type air cons (totaling 697 units),
followed very closely by the 36,000 kJ/h (3 Tons) units (612 units). The combined total of air cons
with these two cooling capacities constitutes 60% of all split type units. For centralized air cons, the
most commonly used are the 10 Tons and 140 Tons units (which both total eight units).

5.0 Age of Air Conditioners
Out of the total 4,473 air con units in this survey, some 2,040 units (46%) have been indicated the
number of years they had been operating. The age of each unit was calculated from the year it was
purchased. It was assumed that the units had been operating since their purchase date. The oldestreported unit is a window type air conditioner installed at the Department of Science and
Technology’s central office, which has been operating for 27 years. Majority (39%) of the air cons
have been operating for 10 years or longer. Figure 5 shows the breakdown of these air cons
according to their ages.
Figure 5: Operating Ages of Air Conditioners
Majority of the units operating for more than 10 years are window type air conditioners. Of the 38
centralized units reported, 12 units had been operating for more than ten years. Figure 6 shows the
types of air conditioners aged 10 years or longer.

Sizing of Air Conditioners
As a general guide for choosing the proper size of air conditioner to cool a room, the Department of
Energy prescribes a cooling capacity of 500 kJ/sq m. This value does not take into account the
number of persons occupying the room nor the shading or sunlight the room receives. For this
study, units with cooling capacities 500 – 550 kJ/sq m are the ones considered properly sized. If a
unit has a cooling capacity below 500 kJ/sq m then it may be considered ‘undersized.’ Air
conditioners that have small cooling capacities or are undersized will continually run to keep up with
cooling a large room. The unit will not efficiently cool the room and will result to higher electricity
bills. Air cons with cooling capacities greater than 550 kJ/sq m are considered ‘oversized.’ These airconditioners will cycle on and off frequently. The efficiency of the typical air conditioner increases
the longer they run. Moreover, air cons that run on longer cycles are more effective in removing
moisture. For short cycles, the evaporating coils do not have enough time to operate at the low
temperature and when the unit stops, the moisture on the coils evaporates back into the indoor air
rather than be removed out of the condensate drain.1
Out of the 54 respondents, 39 indicated the floor area of the rooms cooled by each of their air
conditioners. The cooling capacities per floor area of 2,570 units (57% of total air cons) were
calculated. Table 7 shows the number of units grouped according to the indicated kJ/sq m capacity
ranges.

The table shows that only 6% of the reported air cons are actually properly sized. More than half
(57%) of the units are oversized with 15% operating at double that of the prescribed 500 kJ/sq m.
On the other hand, the main office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development has the
most undersized air cons with 169 units or 87% of its total installed air conditioners. Sixteen (16) out

Energy Efficiency Ratio
The Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Energy has completed the
implementing guidelines for the new standard on Energy Efficiency Ratio and labeling of air
conditioners (PNS 396 Part 1:2007) that establishes star ratings for window and split type air
conditioning units2. (The new standard did not set star ratings for package type and centralized air
conditioners.) Star ratings, moreover, are limited to room air conditioners with cooling capacities
equal to or below 36,000 kJ/h.3 A unit’s star rating depends on its energy efficiency ratio. The
Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is defined as:
Equation 1. Energy Efficiency Ratio
The succeeding tables (Table 12,
Table 13,
Table 14) show the number of air conditioning units in the survey per star rating. Out of the 2,232
window type units, the EERs of 727 units (33%) were reported or calculated. For split type units, theEERs of 961 (44%) of the 2,203 units were reported or calculated. These actually include units with
cooling capacities greater than 36,000 kJ/h. For these units, the star ratings of split type units 12,000
– 36,000 kJ/h were used.
2 The implementing guidelines was completed in 2011 and is pending announcement.
3 This is because of the limitation in the capacity of the testing laboratory.

The charts above (Figure 7) show the correlation between age and EERs of the air con units. Both
plots for window and split air conditioners exhibit that units 10 years old and above do not
necessarily have low EER values. In fact, the graphs clearly show that many units that were
purchased more than 10 years ago have EER values that are already higher than the current
minimum standard.
Both charts also suggest that that there is a wide spread in EER values for units with lower cooling
capacities (> 12,000 kJ/Hr). But as the cooling capacities increase, the EER values tend to be higher.
8.0 Number of Hours in Operation
The average number of operating hours for all air conditioners is 8 hours per day. However, the
average operating hours of all air conditioners of the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities
Management Office is 16 hours, and it has several units operating for 24 hours. Some other agencies
whose average operating hours is 10 hours are (1) Department of Science and Technology – CentralOffice, (2) Philippine National Oil Company, (3) People’s Television Network, and (4) National Kidney

The monthly electricity costs of operating air conditioners with “0” star rating were calculated using
the following equation:
Equation 2. Monthly Electricity Cost per Aircon
The power input (kW) was either provided by the respondent or calculated from the EER using
Equation 1 . As the air cons have different power input or wattage values, the monthly electricity
cost for each air con was calculated. These were then summed up to get the total monthly electricity
costs for each case. Below are the other input values used:
Hours/day 8 Hours/ day The survey results showed that the average
operating hours for all air cons is 8 hours/day.
Days/month 22 days/month The number of work days in a month.Electricity
Price/kWh
PhP 10.00/kWh The unit cost of electricity charged to
government agencies.
For each case and scenario, air con units with “0” star rating will be replaced with units of higher EER
values. This implies shifting to air cons with lower wattage requirements. The new wattage values
were calculated using Equation 1. The new monthly cost was then calculated using the obtained

The cost of replacing “0” star air cons with more efficient ones was calculated using 2008 air con
prices derived from an ICASEA-commissioned study.4 It was assumed that air cons will be replaced
with units of the same cooling capacity but higher EER. The prices used are shown below.

All cases demonstrate a direct correlation between EER values and energy cost savings. Shifting to
air cons with higher EER values will generate greater savings in electricity costs. Moreover, the
savings generated significantly outweighs the cost of replacement. This is shown in Figure 8, where
the payback period decreases with higher EERs (Scenario 1 vs Scenario 2) despite higher cost of air
con replacement.

Table 18 shows the monthly energy cost savings per air con in each case and scenario. Thesuggested EERs for Scenario 1 in all cases are the (minimum) EER values for the 1-star rating defined
by the Philippine National Standards for air conditioners. Switching to air cons with the minimum 1-
star EER value will already generate substantial energy savings ranging from Php 637 to Php 6,092
per unit. This redounds to annual savings of a minimum of PhP 7,644 to Php 73,104 per unit.
Switching to air conditioners with higher EER values (Scenario 2) will generate even greater annual
savings from Php 10,824 to Php 95,424 per unit.

Figure 9 compares the average electricity costs and savings in each scenario. It clearly shows that
the energy cost decreases with higher EER values (shifting from Current Scenario to Scenario 1 to
Scenario 2), which results to greater savings in electricity bill. The figure also suggests that greater
savings are generated in air conditioners of higher cooling capacities (Case 2 for window type and
Case 5 for split type).
10.0 Summary of Results
Air conditioner inventory and utilization questionnaires were sent to 120 government agencies and
received 54 responses in return. A summary of the results of this survey is outlined below:
There are a total of 4,473 air conditioner units reported by the respondents.
Half of the air conditioners are window type units and the other half are split type units.Centralized air cons comprise a mere 1% of all units.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has the highest number of air
conditioners, with 662 units. It also owns the most window type units and the most split
type units.
The National Electrification Administration (NEA) owns the most centralized air conditioners
with 8 units.
25% of all window type units have cooling capacities within the range of 18,900 –19,000
kJ/h.
60% of split type units have cooling capacities 60,000 kJ/h or 36,000 kJ/h.
The most commonly used centralized air conditioners are the 6 tons and 140 tons with 8
units each.
More than one-third or 39% of all air cons that reported their age have been operating for
10 years or longer.
57% of air conditioners with cooling capacity per floor area values are oversized having
cooling capacities greater than 550 kJ/sq m.
Majority (79%) of air conditioners that provided their EER values comply with the minimum
“1” star rating mandated by the new Philippine National Standards.
A big part (22%) of air cons with EER values have “4” star rating, while 21% (353 units) have
no star rating or below the minimum PNS required level.
Shifting all “0” star rating air cons to the minimum “1” star level generates a total of
Php693,091 monthly electricity savings, and could reach a total of PhP981,318 monthly if
replaced by units with higher EER values.
Savings generated from shifting to units with higher EER values outweigh the cost of air con
replacement. Payback of cost of replacing air conditioners decrease when shifting to higher
EER values.
