AIM Report Discusses How Specification Analysis Can Help HVAC Manufacturers
Fleider recommends becoming a basis of design
PALATINE, Ill. — Accountability Information Management Inc. (AIM) published a new report, “HVAC Specifications — The Importance of Brand.” The independent brand preference study conducted by AIM indicated that brand was one of the most important factors architects consider when selecting a HVAC system for their projects. On average, architects rated brand a 3.8 on a five-point scale, with five being “extremely important.”
AIM’s study further revealed that 50 percent of architects surveyed indicated they were involved with making brand specifications for HVAC systems. Although this was an increase of 13 percent from a previous study, it still means architects are not necessarily taking the lead when it comes to brand preference. The research also indicated that 25 percent of the architects were involved, but have no brand preference.
