Intuitive Controls, Consumer Readiness Drive the Pursuit for IAQ

摘要

Once overlooked and rarely considered, IAQ is now a top priority for consumers and is quickly moving to the forefront of their collective minds. Tracking this market, BCC Research estimates the U.S. IAQ market will grow as large as $11.4 billion by 2019. Manufacturers are addressing this demand head-on by creating and adapting products that are accessible to both contractors and consumers with an eye toward digital displays and functions that can be updated and expanded in the years to come. "Providing homeowners the peace of mind that the air in their homes is healthy and comfortable is the way to drive value and profit," said Mike Rimrodt, marketing director for Aprilaire. "Successful contractors understand this and are profiting from by providing Wi-Fi controls for these IAQ accessories."
