ASHRAE and UN Environment are accepting entries for a jointly established international award program to promote the innovative designs, research and practices of low-GWP alternative refrigerants and related technologies. The Lower-GWP Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Innovation Award annually recognizes people who have
developed or implemented innovative technological concepts applied in developing countries to innovative designs, research and practices that minimize global warming
potential (GWP) through refrigerant management. First Place and Honorable Citation awards are made in two categories:
• Residential Applications
• Commercial/Industrial Facilities
Entries for the 2019 awards will be accepted until May 15, 2019. Winning projects will be publicized by both organizations, and first place recipients will receive a stipend
to receive their award at a UN Environment event.
