Each year the AHR Expo gives back to the local community by donating the sum of Innovation Award entry fees to an organization in the region where the show is being held. This year, the Jacksonville Police Athletic League (PAL), was selected as the beneficiary.

The annual awards competition honors the most inventive and original products, systems, and technologies showcased at each year’s AHR Expo in 10 categories. The winning products are selected from numerous entries by a panel of judges consisting of ASHRAE members who evaluated the products based on innovation, application, value to the user, and market impact.

enVerid Systems announced that it has received Frost & Sullivan’s 2015 North American HVAC Technology Innovation Award for its HVAC Load Reduction (HLR) solution. Frost & Sullivan recognized enVerid’s HLR system for its ability to deliver substantial energy savings by solving a major cause of HVAC energy waste in commercial buildings.

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.

At the 2015 AHR Expo Innovation Awards ceremonies on Jan. 27, Danfoss’ Turbocor VTT Series compressor was selected as winner of the 2015 Product of the Year. The new Danfoss compressor was chosen as the top product from among the Innovation Award winners in 10 HVACR product categories.

Representing all major segments of the HVACR marketplace, the winning entries were honored in 10 categories as the most innovative new products among the thousands that will be displayed at the Jan. 26-28 event in Chicago.
