ASHRAE TECHNOLOGY AWARDS
Each year, the ASHRAE Technology awards recognize outstanding achievements by ASHRAE members who have successfully applied innovative building design in the areas of occupant comfort, indoor air quality and energy conservation.
The overall purpose of the ASHRAE Technology Awards is to:
- Recognize ASHRAE members who design and/or conceive innovative technological concepts that are proven through actual operating data;
- Communicate innovative systems designs to other ASHRAE members
- Highlight technological achievements of ASHRAE to others, including associated professionals and societies worldwide, as well as building and facility owners
ASHRAE Chapter Technology Transfer Committee (CTTC) coordinates the awards competition, which includes judging at the Chapter, Regional and Society levels
Each year, awards are presented
in seven
categories:
To enter the Chapter and
Regional Competitions, a short form submission must be prepared and

each ASHRAE region may then choose
