Once you have made the choice between Split & Windows AC refer to this table for the mapping between EER & the STAR rating system - updated for 2012:

2012 STAR EER mapping for Windows AC 2012 STAR EER mapping for Split ACs
Most people won't be going around with ratios and numbers rattling around in their heads; instead, it's easier to remember if an AC is rated 1, 2, or 3 STARs. Thus, the higher the number of STARs, the more energy efficient is the AC. When purchasing an AC, it's wise to select one that has the STAR label on it. Why? Because such appliances begin paying for themselves the minute you have them installed and switched on. Don't believe us? These numbers should convince you:

Note: Assuming 8 hours operation per day for five months in a year Source: Bureau of Energy Efficiency Table 1: Star Ratings vs. ROI As you can see from the cost savings offered above, the higher the number of STARs, the greater is the savings in electricity consumption. Assuming you use a 1.5 Ton AC, 8 hours a day, for five months in a year, you save more than two thousand rupees a year!
