ASHRAE Technology Awards
Have you recently worked on a project that was designed and/or conceived innovative technological concepts that were proven through actual operating data? Consider submitting it for an ASHRAE Technology Award! The ASHRAE Technology Awards recognize outstanding achievements by members who have successfully applied innovative building design in the areas of occupant comfort, indoor air quality and energy conservation. Winners are recognized by peers as being innovative and capable of achieving a high level of competence.
Each year the Society may present awards in six categories:
- Commercial Buildings (New, Existing, Existing Building Commissioning)
- Institutional Buildings (New, Existing, Existing Building Commissioning)
- Health Care Facilities (New, Existing, Existing Building Commissioning)
- Industrial Facilities or Processes (New, Existing, Existing Building Commissioning)
- Public Assembly (New, Existing, Existing Building Commissioning)
- Residential
Deadline for chapter submissions April 1st, 2027. All current members of ASHRAE are eligible to submit. Entrants must have had a significant role in the design or development of the project. Performance must be verifiable through at least one year of operating data. The short form application that is required can be found here.
If you have questions, feel free to contact Alfred Uzokwe Jr. ([email protected]) or Sean Blaevoet ([email protected]).
