Globally, ductless heat pumps are the standard method of heating and cooling residential and commercial buildings. In North America the post-war building boom favoured ducted systems but we since realized there are advantages to ductless systems, especially to cool.

For commercial applications, Variable Refrigerant Volume (or Flow) systems are quickly becoming an option of choice in North America. In Japan where VRV/F was invented in 1982 half of all small commercial buildings use this ductless system.
