When all barriers are weighted according to their<br />
strength, the psychological factor moves up to become<br />
the third-largest overall challenge. This result ties in<br />
well with the lack of awareness stated for the HVAC&R<br />
industry as a whole and specifically for customers (see<br />
pages 92 to 93) Still, need for more training remains<br />
the biggest barrier, followed by required investment in<br />
technology development, including safety.
