The Innovation Awards are designed to recognize the most innovative products among the thousands on display at the AHR Expo. The Innovation Awards are jointly sponsored by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI); and International Exposition Company (IEC), producers and organizers of the AHR Expo.
A panel of judges, made up of ASHRAE members selected for their exceptional knowledge of the industry and its products, reviews and evaluates all submissions. The most innovative products are selected in eight specific categories: heating, cooling, refrigeration, ventilation, indoor air quality, energy management, tools and instruments, and software.
