Yes, they are; both of ours have the energy star sticker.

Well, the Scope section B of that link says they're not...apparently any
unit you have doesn't meet the fit the definition of either a PTAC or
PAC if it does have the tag.

Any way, doesn't seem the link bolsters the case..

2) Scope:
A. Included Products: Products that meet the definition of a
room air conditioner as specified herein are eligible for ENERGY STAR
qualification. Specifically, the following product types are eligible:
louvered and non-louvered reverse-cycle RACs (or heat pump RACs), window
RACs, through-the-wall RACs and casement and slider-casement RAC
products.

B. Excluded Products: PTACs, portable air conditioners, and
models with electric resistance heat are not eligible for ENERGY STAR.
