Technology Awards

By the time this post is published another ASHRAE conference will be behind us. I hope many of you were able to attend the show and take in some of the technical sessions and events. Overall, the Orlando host committee did an excellent job and we thank them for their dedicated efforts and valuable time.

This month’s Dewpoint articles focus on ASHRAE 189.1 and a discussion on water cooled chillers. The purpose of ASHRAE Standard 189.1 is to provide the minimum design requirements for high performance green buildings excluding low rise residential buildings. Cameron discusses some differences between open and hermetic drive water cooled chillers.  Be sure to catch both these articles.

Technology Awards

ASHRAE technology awards recognize successful applications of innovative design which incorporate ASHRAE standards for effective energy management, indoor air quality and good mechanical design. The purpose is to recognize members who design and conceive innovative technological concepts that are proven through actual operation.

This is our opportunity to show this industry what we have accomplished and show off our innovative approach. If you have a project you would like to highlight please email me and I will follow up with you for the details of the project. Be sure to email me at john.s.davant@jci.com or phone me at 407-212-1293. I will be following up in the next couple of weeks in order to submit some of our projects.
