2. The units must have a desuperheater or integrated water heating.

3. Qualifying units must meet certain minimum energy efficiency standards as specified:

· An Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 14.1 in the cooling mode and a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 3.3 in the heating mode when installed in a closed loop system (GLHP) as defined by ARI/ISO 13256-1.

· An EER of 16.2 in the cooling mode and a COP of 3.6 in the heating mode when installed in an open loop application (GWHP) as defined by ARI/ISO 13256-1.
