HVAC Market Share by Efficiency and Capacity: Beginning 2017 dataset is based on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) sales data reported to D+R International by Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International (HARDI) members participating in the Unitary HVAC Market Report. Participation in the report is voluntary for distributors. The dataset covers New York State and the Northeast (includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island). Blank cells represent data that are not currently available.
This dataset has the following 15 columns:
| Column Name | API Column Name | Data Type | Description | Sample Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year | year | number | The time period (year) covered by the dataset | 2019 2018 2017 2021 2020 view top 100 |
| Region | region | text | Name of U.S. State or HARDI Region where sale of equipment occurred; either New York State or Northeastern. For the sake of this data, the Northeastern region is defined as including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island; and the New York region includes all of New York State. | Northeastern NY view top 100 |
| Type | type | text | Type of HVAC equipment sold; Air Conditioner (AC), Air-Source Heat Pump (ASHP), Boiler, or Furnace | ASHP Furnace Boiler AC GEU view top 100 |
| Units | units | number | Number of units sold. If the value is negative, that indicates that more units were returned than sold. | 1 2 3 4 5 view top 100 |
| AFUE | afue | number | Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of the equipment, which is a measurement of the ratio of the annual heat output of the equipment compared to the total annual fossil fuel energy consumed by the equipment. AFUE for the type of furnace tracked through this program have a minimum federal efficiency of 78 AFUE, however, all sold were at least 80 AFUE. AFUE does not exceed a nominal value of 98 in the reported data since furnaces are fossil fuel only, and exclude electric. Blank cells indicate no data available | 95 80 85 96 83 view top 100 |
| SEER | seer | number | Nominal Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of the outdoor condensing equipment. SEER is the ratio of the total heat removed from the conditioned space during the annual cooling season divided by the total electrical energy consumed by the air conditioner during the same season. The higher the SEER rating, the less electrical energy the air conditioner uses to cool the home. SEER values a reported by whole number increment and generally range from 13 to 26. For any values that exceed 26, they are binned into the 26 increment for reporting purpose. Blank cells indicate no data available | 14 16 18 17 15 view top 100 |
| Ducted | ducted | number | Type of ducting used with equipment. 1 indicates ducted and 0 indicates ductless. Blank cells indicate no data available | 0 1 view top 100 |
| Refrigerant | refrigerant | number | Type of refrigerant used in equipment. Two options for refrigerant are included in the data set – R22 and R410a. R22 is represented by a 22 and R410a is represented by 410 Blank cells indicate no data available | 410 22 view top 100 |
| Cooling (Btu/hr) | cooling_btu_hr | number | Nominal cooling capacity for equipment in Btu per hour. For air conditioners, ground source heat pumps, and air source heat pumps, this is the capacity of the equipment rounded to the closest half-ton increment. Blank cells indicate no data available | 24000 18000 36000 12000 30000 view top 100 |
| Heating (Btu/hr) | heating_btu_hr | number | Nominal heating capacity for equipment in Btu per hour. For furnaces and boilers, this is the manufacturer specified input capacity. Blank cells indicate no data available | 100000 80000 60000 120000 140000 view top 100 |
| MotorType | motortype | text | Type of blower motor installed in equipment; either ECM or PSC. Types include: • Electronically communicated motors (ECM) • Permanent split capacitor (PSC) ECM motors are more efficient than PSC motors because they can adjust airflow levels and the speed of the motor based on the temperature in the home. PSCs run at a constant speed regardless of the temperature of the home. Blank cells indicate no data available | PSC ECM view top 100 |
| HSPF | hspf | text | Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF). For split systems, the lowest matched pair value is reported. HSPF represents the total heating output of a heat pump (including supplementary electric heat) during the normal heating season (in Btu) as compared to the total electricity consumed (in watt-hours) during the same period. HSPF values in the dataset are reported as ranges. Generally, commercially available ASHPs do not exceed a value of 12.5 HSPF. Blank cells indicate no data available | 11.00+ 9.00-9.49 10.00-10.49 8.50-8.99 8.20-8.49 view top 100 |
| FinalEstimate | finalestimate | number | Estimated market sales of the record. Zero values indicate there are no estimates sales of that unit with associated spec information – generally due to purchases and returns being equal over the reported time period. Negative values indicate that more units were returned than sold for a given product category. | 2.928674527 7.545846441 5.857349055 5 8.786023582 view top 100 |
| EER | eer | number | Nominal Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). EER is the ratio of the cooling capacity in Btu’s per hour to the power input in watts. The higher the EER, the more efficient a piece of equipment is. For split systems, the “lowest matched pair” value is reported to the nearest whole number increment.

| FuelType | fueltype | text | Fuel type used by equipment (boilers and furnaces only); either Natural Gas or Oil. Blank cells indicate no data available or the field is irrelevant for the product category (ASHP or AC). | Natural Gas Oil view top 100 |
