PS ASHRAE Members Win Society Awards!

We recently received word that three of the projects submitted from our Chapter for the ASHRAE Technology Awards have placed at the Society level!  Congratulations to our members!

  • First Place Industrial Facilities or Process: Sea-Tac Airport Pre-Conditioned Air Seattle, WA, Port of Seattle – Ken Arthur Warren
  • First Place Residential Category: Stack House Apartments Seattle, WA, Ecotope – Jonathan Heller
  • Second Place Residential Category: The Greenfire Campus Seattle, WA, WSP – Tom Marseille

With our chapter’s continued success at the Society level, I encourage everyone to start thinking of projects to submit so we can have an even stronger showing next year!  We will be asking for submissions at the start of the new year.

In addition to the ASHRAE Technology Awards there are several other ASHRAE Awards that you can submit on your own https://www.ashrae.org/membership–conferences/honors–awards.

Cheers,
