In a report titled “Uncovering Attractive Innovations in HVAC Amidst Evolutionary Growth,” Lux Research surveys the field of incumbent and emerging HVAC technologies, reviews the geographical, regulatory and economic factors influencing adoption and assesses which systems and components are best positioned for future growth.
There’s demand for component technologies that improve the operational cost or performance of existing HVAC equipment, including variable speed compressors, electronic expansion valves, advanced humidity removal, heat recycling, variable frequency drives and thermal energy storage.
Lux Research’s report evaluates HVAC systems and components separately and scores technologies on their technical value and maturity. It then plots each technology’s relative potential on a matrix comprising four quadrants: Current Winners, Future Winners, Long-Shot and Faded Incumbents.
