Mexico moves toward Energy Efficiency with New Air Conditioning Standard

On April 29, 2025, the New Mexican Official Standard was published in the DOF, this standard establishes the energy efficiency requirements for central, package, or split air conditioners.

The main objective of this standard is to reduce the electricity consumption of these units, which translates into lower costs for Mexican families.

This is the third update of the standard, prepared by the National Advisory Committee on Standardization for the Preservation and Rational Use of Energy Resources (CCNNPURRE), chaired by the National Commission for Energy Resources (CONUEE), with the collaboration of various institutions, organizations, companies, and specialists.

The regulation establishes the minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) that central air conditioners must meet, depending on the compressor type inverter, fixed capacity, or multi-stage capacity.

In addition, it defines the testing methods for verifying compliance and the requirements that must be included on the information label to guide the public in making better purchasing decisions.

**WHOM DOES THIS IMPACT? **

The direct impact is on Society and Economy, the Environment, Industry, and Consumers.

**CONCLUSION: **

NOM-011-ENER-2025 has a broad and significant impact on various sectors; its implementation is an important step toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.
