At the 2015 AHR Expo, held this January in Chicago, dozens of manufacturers competed in 10 product categories for top honors in the 2015 AHR Expo Innovation Awards. The awards aim to recognize new products designed to help HVAC contractors provide healthier, more comfortable, more efficient, and safer environments for their customers. The annual competition is sponsored by ASHRAE; the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI); and the International Exposition Co. (IEC), which produces and organizes the AHR Expo.
This year’s winners in the Indoor Air Quality category push the envelope on efficiency, performance, and technology. From energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) to filters and compressor technology, these manufacturers are pulling out the stops to meet consumer demand for better IAQ at home, work, school, and everywhere in between.
