HVAC: Air-Source Electric Heat Pumps HVAC: Building Automation Systems The top three BAS manufacturers are listed below.
There are four major manufacturers of centrifugal chillers:
HVAC: Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems Designing a DOAS requires applications knowledge so that the system is properly configured and the ventilation-air subsystems are properly sized. A few engineering design firms specialize in the application of DOASs:
HVAC: Demand-Controlled Ventilation Sensor Manufacturers:
DCV-ready equipment:
The best-known manufacturers that supply dampers, actuators, and controls are:
More than 40 companies manufacture evaporative cooling equipment. Here are several
of the leading suppliers.
Here is a partial list of industrial and commercial fan manufacturers.
In the U.S.
In Canada There are far more furnace manufacturers than we can list here. For a thorough
list, see the Consumers'
Directory of Certified Efficiency Ratings, published by the Gas Appliance
Manufacturers Association. Here are a few industry leaders:
Absorption chiller manufacturers Gas engine–driven chiller manufacturers HVAC: Packaged Rooftop Air Conditioners The largest manufacturers are:
For further background information, the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute offers downloadable versions of the current unitary equipment standards at its web site. It also offers a list of links to other efficiency-related or HVAC-related sites and organizations. HVAC: Programmable Thermostats The following is a partial list of manufacturers that offer programmable thermostats.
Thirty or more companies manufacture radiant heating equipment. What follows
is a short list of a few of the leading suppliers.
As with other appliances, different brands of room air conditioners may be made
by a single manufacturer. The three most prominent North American manufacturers
are:
There are five major manufacturers of rotary screw chillers. The equipment they
offer uses either HCFC-22 or HFC134a refrigerant, and both air-cooled and water-cooled
models are available.
A list of Energy Star-certified boilers is available from the Energy Star web site. The following is a partial list of manufacturers of small gas boilers:
A useful online resource to compare general space heater features and performance are consumer opinion web sites such as www.epinions.com. Small portable space heaters are rated on these sites, but there are currently no ratings for unit heaters and radiant panels. You can also compare information on the web sites of space heater manufacturers, including these:
Electric space heaters: Unit heaters: Radiant panels: Utility heaters: Listed below are some of the leading manufacturers of underfloor air systems.

Lighting: Compact Fluorescent Lamps The following and a number of other companies produce compact fluorescent lamps:
Lighting: Daylighting Controls
Lighting: Fluorescent Ballasts Dozens of firms produce fluorescent ballasts, including the following leading manufacturers. For a more complete listing, visit the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America.
Lighting: Full-Size Fluorescent Lamps A list of the major fluorescent lamp manufacturers follows.
Lighting: HID Versus Fluorescent for High-Bay Lighting Several manufacturers offer variations of the new fluorescent fixtures for high-bay
applications. Most designs are square or rectangular and are derived from either
recessed troffers or surface-mounted fixtures. To facilitate "one-for-one" replacement
of existing HID fixtures, the new fluorescent fixtures are usually hung from
chains or pendant-mounted from a single point.
Lighting: High-Intensity Discharge Lamps
The list below presents some of the leading manufacturers of indirect lighting fixtures.
Lighting: Light-Emitting Diodes Following are some of the largest makers of LEDs:
These companies generally supply LEDs to hundreds of original equipment manufacturers that place them in luminaires and other products sold to end users. To help you sort through the products in several emerging LED fields, the Energy Star Lighting Program will begin rating products in late 2008. The following is a partial list of manufacturers that offer lighting control products.

The U.S. motor industry is relatively fragmented—roughly 20 manufacturers
make most of the integral-horsepower induction motors sold in the U.S., and
none of them dominate the market. Many of the selected manufacturers listed
here also sell variable-speed motors, which can help to match the motor to variable
loads.
Motors: Adjustable-Speed Drives Of the dozens of ASD manufacturers, only a handful provide Web resources:
