Chapter Technology Award

Competition 2009

Did you attend the January dinner technical session? If so, you would have learned about the ASHRAE Technology Awards Program and how easy it is to apply for this award!

The purpose of the Technology Awards Program is to recognize members for innovative designs, communicate that technology to other members and highlight achievements to other professionals.
 
Each year the Society may present awards in seven categories:

• Commercial Buildings (New and Existing)
• Institutional Buildings (New and Existing)
• Health Care Facilities (New and Existing)
• Industrial Facilities or Processes (New and Existing)
• Public Assembly (New and Existing)
• Residential (New and Existing)
• Alternative or Renewable Energy Use.

Entries are judged on energy efficiency, indoor air quality and thermal comfort, innovation, operation and maintenance, cost effectiveness, environmental impact and quality of presentation.

The process for the ASHRAE Technology Awards starts right here at the Chapter level!  So this year the Orange Empire Chapter is sponsoring the Chapter Technology Awards Competition.  Winners of the Chapter Competition will be sent to the Region CTTC Chair for judging at the Region Technology Award Competition. 

We urge our members to submit their projects. It’s simple and easy to apply!  Chapter level instructions and short form applications are provided below.

Entries must be received at the chapter no later than April 15th, 2009. Time is needed for judging and forwarding projects to the Region X Vice Chair.
