More than half of respondents (58%) to the Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2014 HVAC and Building Automation Systems (BAS) Study work at a firm with fewer than 100 employees, compared to 41% with 100 or more employees. Below are key comparisons between small and large firms that specify HVAC and BAS products: 1. Annual revenue: Firms with fewer than 100 employees specify an average of $2.24 million of HVAC and BAS products on a yearly basis, compared to $3.84 million by larger firms. 2. Project size: The largest projects based on average billings are demand-controlled ventilation, energy recovery, and metering/sub-metering and measurement and verification (M&V) strategies. Smaller firms generate an average of $1.14 million, $1.26 million, and $1.27 million, respectively; larger firms' projects average $1.83 million, $1.96 million, and $1.97 million, respectively.
