For decades, the U.S. has enjoyed low energy prices, allowing the average American to consume huge amounts of energy without burning a hole in their pocket. However, in recent years, this has changed, and the rising cost of energy has made people give a second thought to their consumption. Furthermore, an increased awareness of environmental impacts has resulted in efforts to increase the energy efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In a sense, the U.S. is looking to catch up with other global regions such as Europe.
