This research study endeavored to evaluate the use of VRF systems in the South-Eastern United States. More specifically, to understand and analyze why these systems have not been popular in this part of the world. The VRF technology, invented by the Japanese, has been around for more than 30 years. Europe and Asia-Pacific regions are two biggest consumers of this technology with their combined market share of 65% of the global market. The research aimed to get answers to three basic questions (1) What is the condition of commercial VRF market in the South-Eastern United States? (2) Why have VRF Systems not been popular in the U.S.? and (3) What is the future path for this technology in the U.S.? A survey questionnaire was carefully developed to understand and analyze -What is the extent of penetration of VRF technology; What is the level of awareness about this technology; and what types of projects are being preferred for VRF systems. The results of this survey were evaluated along with other literature including reports from analysts and interviews of leading VRF manufacturers.
