ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) released its Contractor Comfort Index (CCI) for June, which reached a 77. This marks the third consecutive month the score has registered above 70. June’s 77 score ranks as the highest tally in the CCI’s three-year history.

ACCA began measuring contractor attitudes toward short-term economic growth with the CCI in February 2010. It is calculated based on a survey of the association’s contractor members, who are asked how positive they feel about new business prospects, existing business activity, and expected staffing decisions in the short-term future. Weighted and averaged into one number, a CCI of 50 or above reflects anticipated growth.

The CCI in June 2012 was 68.
