1. Is the U.S. Unitary Market Cooling after Overheating?
According to AHRI, the shipments of residential unitary air conditioners in the first Half of 2021 are showing strong growth. How did the good performance of residential unitary systems arise? There were several possible factors. The first factor was that a large amount of money was released to the public as the U.S. government generated a large amount of public spending designed to rebuild the economy, which had been battered by the pandemic. The second factor was that people were interested in improving their living environments and comfort at home, since they could not go to work or attend school due to lockdowns and were spending more time at home because of the pandemic.
