The global Variable Air Volume (VAV) Systems market size is predicted to grow from US$ 12730 million in 2025 to US$ 18080 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2031.
VAV system was born in the United States in the 1960s. According to the changes of indoor load or indoor required parameters, it can maintain a constant supply air temperature, automatically adjust the supply air volume of air conditioning system, and make the indoor parameters meet the requirements of all air conditioning systems. VAV system consists of four basic parts: VAV terminal device (VAV box, room temperature controller), air handling and conveying equipment, air duct system (fresh air / exhaust air / supply air / return air) and automatic control system. VAV system adapts to the change of load by changing the air volume, which can be realized by special VAV terminal device.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems are an energy-efficient HVAC solution widely used in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers, industrial sites, and high-end residential projects. Compared to traditional Constant Air Volume (CAV) systems, VAV systems dynamically adjust airflow based on demand, improving energy efficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing indoor comfort.
Global energy efficiency regulations, such as Europe’s EPBD, ASHRAE 90.1 in the U.S., and China’s public building energy standards, drive the adoption of VAV systems. These systems are preferred for LEED and BREEAM-certified buildings due to their energy-saving capabilities.
The rise of smart buildings and automation technologies has also integrated IoT and AI into VAV systems, enabling real-time monitoring and automatic adjustments of indoor air quality, temperature, and humidity. Modern VAV systems integrate IoT sensors, AI-based optimization, and Building Management Systems (BMS), enabling real-time monitoring and remote control. In offices and conference rooms, VAV systems adjust airflow dynamically based on occupancy, temperature, and air quality, enhancing efficiency.Data centers require precise temperature control, and VAV systems are increasingly replacing traditional CAV solutions due to their lower energy consumption. The expansion of cloud computing and AI applications fuels further demand for VAV cooling solutions.
Moving forward, VAV systems will increasingly integrate with renewable energy sources like solar power, supporting the growth of green buildings and low-carbon economies.
