The U.S. central air conditioning market is predominantly reliant on the construction and development industry, and struggled through the global recession, as retrofit development projects and new building construction activities were postponed or cancelled.

Products in the U.S. central air conditioning systems market are expected to meet strict regulation and legislation requirements, with only the top quarter of models/systems awarded the U.S. government-backed Energy Star accreditation – a recognized energy-efficiency achievement that can differentiate a company in a competitive environment. Central air conditioning systems that receive an Energy Star can be up to twice as efficient as older units, thus reducing energy costs.

Growth in the American air conditioning market is anticipated to be driven by the government and consumer focus on energy reduction, the introduction of new technologies – particularly those focused on rapid cooling and low energy consumption.
