• Key Industry Terms
– Sensible Heat/Energy – Heat energy that causes a rise or
fall in the temperature. (Thermostat)
– Latent Heat/Energy – Hidden heat, changing a solid to a
liquid or a liquid to a gas.
– SEER – Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, a rating that
measures the cooling efficiency of a heat pump or air
conditioner. The higher the number, the more efficient the
unit.
– SHR – Sensible Heat Ratio, manufacturers use this to rate
the coil on its ability to remove sensible heat. Example: A
coil rated at .75 means that 75% of the coil’s capacity is
designed to remove sensible heat, leaving 25% of the
capacity to remove latent heat.
