What Does COP Stand For?
COP stands for Coefficient Of Performance
COP, or Coefficient Of Performance, is a key performance metric used to evaluate the efficiency of heating and cooling systems, such as heat pumps and air conditioners. It is defined as the ratio of useful heating or cooling output to the energy input required to produce that output. A higher COP indicates a more efficient system, as it delivers more thermal energy per unit of energy consumed. This metric is crucial for assessing the performance of energy systems and optimizing energy consumption in residential and commercial applications.
