Award Winning Technologies for 2024:

Modular Packaged Commercial Refrigeration Systems

Emerging Technology Award for Consumers

Energy Efficiency: Modular Packaged Commercial Refrigeration Systems eligible for the award are 8% more efficient than other ENERGY STAR certified commercial refrigerators and/or freezers.
All eligible refrigeration systems are operating on low-GWP refrigerants.
Service time to repair and/or replace the packaged system is minimal, resulting in less down time of operation.
All units are self-contained systems that allow in-house dependability and service. If a single compressor goes down, for example, it can quickly be replaced with another without the need to remove the entire unit from its location.

Commercial HVAC Electric Motors

Emerging Technology Award for Consumers

Mid-sized electric motors meeting the Ultra-Premium Efficiency IE5 performance tier provide a compelling combination of energy savings, environmental benefits, and reliability, making them an excellent choice for commercial HVAC applications.
