Combined energy factor

Combined Energy Factor (CEF) is the energy performance metric for clothes dryers; the higher the CEF the more efficient the clothes dryer. CEF is the quotient of the test load size, 8.45 lbs for standard dryers and 3 lbs for compact dryers, C, divided by the sum of the machine electric energy use during standby and operational cycles. The equation is shown here: CEF = C (lbs) / (Eon + Estandby). The units are pounds per kWh, the higher the value, the more efficient the clothes dryer is.
