New housing starts and commercial construction are important determinants of
the Companys sales to the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC),
refrigeration, and plumbing markets because the principal end use of a significant
portion of our products is in the construction of single and multi-family housing
and commercial buildings. Repairs and remodeling projects are also important
drivers of underlying demand for these products.
