Campaign Awards Organizations for Excellence in HVAC Rooftop Unit Efficiency
Combined, the award winners achieved energy savings of over 100 million kWh and $10 million per year
ATLANTA — The organizing partners of the Advanced Rooftop Unit (RTU) Campaign (ARC) have announced their award winners for excellence in RTU efficiency. ASHRAE, Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings Alliance and Federal Energy Management Program launched the campaign in 2013, and since then over 190 partners have driven reduction in heating and cooling costs of commercial buildings by upgrading over 40,000 rooftop units. As a result, this has saved 4 trillion Btu of energy and $37 million annually, said ARC.
The following organizations were recognized for leadership and excellence in commercial building rooftop unit efficiency. Combined, their estimated energy savings total over 100 million kWh and $10 million per year from efficient rooftop unit replacements, retrofits, and quality management.
