BALTIMORE — Danfoss has announced its inaugural EnVisioneer of the Year award competition. The competition recognizes end users, building owners, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that exemplify the Danfoss EnVisioneering™ core values and have used Danfoss products to realize significant energy and environmental savings.

“EnVisioneering is a strategic, customer-focused approach designed to create engaged partnerships with our customers by combining engineering innovation, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility,” said Robert Wilkins, president of Danfoss North America. “This competition will help business leaders continue to advance energy-efficient and sustainable solutions that support improved performance and profitability, higher standards, and lower operating costs in buildings and facilities.”

The EnVisioneer of the Year competition is open to U.S. end users, building owners, and OEMs that have introduced a new product, opened a new facility, or invested in a building or system upgrade in the past 18 months and have used Danfoss products to realize significant energy and/or environmental savings.

Participants may enter the competition by submitting an application no later than March 31, 2010. The EnVisioneer of the Year will receive a donation in their honor to the Alliance to Save Energy. The award will be presented in Washington on May 13 following the Danfoss EnVisioneering symposium and the Alliance to Save Energy’s EE Global Forum.

“We’re honored that Danfoss selected the Alliance to receive this generous donation, which we will use to promote energy-efficient and sustainable solutions,” said Kateri Callahan, president of the Alliance to Save Energy. “Energy efficiency is the world’s greatest resource, and it’s exciting to see how this industry is not only applying existing technologies to achieve greater efficiency, but also continuing to innovate efficient and sustainable solutions to power tomorrow’s global economy.”
