It's that time of year again where we ask our Members to submit projects for the ASHRAE Technology Awards. The Technology Awards recognize ASHRAE members who are involved in the design of innovative and energy efficient buildings.
This year’s chapter deadline is
5pm (CST), March 31st, 2021.
Projects may be new buildings, existing buildings, or commissioning of existing buildings and are divided into six categories:
- Commercial Buildings
- Institutional Buildings
- Health Care Facilities
- Industrial Facilities or Processes
- Public Assembly
- Residential
We are giving away
$100 prizes to the first-place winner in each of the six categories.
All projects must be complete and a minimum of
one year of energy data must be submitted. Submissions are first reviewed at the Chapter level. Winners from this level are then submitted to the Regional Level. Regional winners may then be submitted to the Society level where winners are then published in the ASHRAE Journal. There are two submission forms, a short form and a long form.
The short form is acceptable for chapter and regional level submissions. In order for a project to be able to compete at the Society level, a long form submission must be completed.
Submission forms and additional resources can be found at the
ASRHAE Technology Awards webpage. Additional information about the Technology Awards program and past submissions can be found on the
Technology Awards page at the ASHRAE Iowa Website. Projects should be submitted electronically to
Peter Ernzen or
Adam Puls. Contact information can also be found on the ASHRAE Iowa Technology Awards page.
The Technology Awards program is a great way for Members to gain recognition for their projects. The program also provides recognition for the member’s employers and the owners of the buildings. I encourage all members take a look at their past projects and consider submitting any of them that are innovative or energy efficient.
