Integrated Part-Load Value (IPLV)

Last updated: June 9, 2026

A single-number efficiency metric for chillers defined by ARI/AHRI standards that represents weighted average COP or kW per ton at four part-load operating conditions, reflecting typical annual operating hours at each load point. IPLV is more representative of real-world energy performance than full-load efficiency alone.
