STRENGTHS:
·
Generally, the consumers across the world
regard HVAC as a 'must-have' in most segments in the global markets. It has
direct relation in improving the productivity of the users and profitability of
commercial sectors. Therefore, HVAC is one of the CORE industry globally.
·
The importance of HVAC to some important
business sectors:-
I.
IT Sector
II.
Telecom Sector
III.
Hospital Sector
IV.
Food Industry
V.
Real Estate & Infrastructure
WEEKNESS:
·
Almost 70% of the building energy cost can
be attributed to AC system.
(Infact, this creates an
opportunity in a new sector i.e. HVAC control closely related with Building
Automation- HVAC Control, Fire Detection and Alarm System, Access Control
System and CCTV Surveillance System, Public Address System, Gas Suppression
System)
·
Initially a huge investment of around 20% of
the cost of the building in HVAC equipment
·
Skilled man-power in HVAC Design and Drafting is scarced.
·
Un-balanced demand due to different
geographical locations for eg. Major focus on Refrigeration/ AC in countries
like India, whereas focus on Heating in economies like Canada
·
Generally organizations consider AC and
Heating as LUXURY
OPPORTUNITY:
·
Global HVAC industry is expected to grow
consistently at the rate of 5 ~ 6% annually for the next 05 years
·
In all major regions of the world, the
industry is yet to be matured and therefore there is a huge demand of HVAC
equipment.
·
The present growth rate has a potential to
match the growth of global IT industry
·
The current scenario will lead to the
development of more Energy efficient HVAC equipment, globally
·
New opportunities are emerging due to
concepts like Green Building, Carbon Credits, Energy Recovery, Building
Management System, District Cooling etc
·
Convergence of various disciplines like
Mechanical, Electrical, Architecture, Civil, Electronics, IT and
Instrumentation, leading to new & exciting careers
THREATS:
·
Use of Chloro Fluro Carbons (CFC) as refrigerants
has now resulted in an Ozone hole thereby threatening the environment
·
Growth is directly related to sectors like
Real Estate development
·
Global Warming & Pollution through
excess carbon release are some of the other aftermaths
·
Soaring Energy cost can bring in
uncertainness in the growth pattern
·
Man power shortages on account of Multi-disciplined
job requirements in HVAC industry
