Could you please explain the EER equation to me?

I am unable to locate any references that explain the values of the first two sums in the EER equation. For guys aged 9 to 18, that is 88.5-61.9 (which are these two numbers?). x age + [PA times weight plus 903 times height)] + 25

check this equation,the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) equation isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, there are separate equations for men and women, taking into account factors such as age, weight, height, and activity level.

88.5 and 61.9 are constants

88.5: This is a constant value that is part of the equation to adjust the baseline energy requirement.

61.9: This is a constant multiplied by age to adjust the energy requirement based on the individual’s age.

A measure used to assess the effectiveness of heat pumps and air conditioners is the energy efficiency ratio, or EER. Under particular conditions, it indicates the unit’s cooling capacity (output) divided by its electrical input power (input).

The following is the EER equation:

Heating capacity (BTU/hr) equals EER.
Watts of power input
EER is equal to power input (watts) times cooling capacity (BTU/hr).
