I have some excellent sources for this information but will need a few
days to accumulate it. My assumption is that you are seeking a product
breakdown that includes equipment (air conditioners, air handlers,
furnaces etc), insulation, metal duct work or radiators, and
accessories....framed, if possible, as industrial, commercial, and
residential segments.

This is quite a bit of work to obtain raw information, make
assumptions regarding the ratio in the product segments and market
segments, and tabulate the inforamtion into a meaningful report.
Seeking your clarification before proceeding.

Seedy,
  You are correct.  Except my main focus is on the Air-handling, Air
Conditioning segment.(Primarily "Fan and Filter" + Secondarily
"Dehumidification")  Any general market numbers and specific
breakdowns of these categories would be extremly helpful!!!  Let me
know if I can provide more clarification or if you have a tremendous
amount of information that it helpful I could possible renegotiate
price.
