Chillventa AWARD to honour flagship projects for energy efficiency

NÜRNBERG, Germany, 3 February 2020: NürnbergMesse will present the Chillventa AWARD for the third time in partnership with Bauverlag, the publisher of the HVAC&R trade journals, KKA Kälte Klima Aktuell and tab – Das Fachmedium der TGA-Branche, NürnbergMesse said through a Press release. The Chillventa AWARD will be presented during Chillventa, from October 13 to 15 in Nürnberg. The award recognises completed projects that in an era of climate change can be considered outstanding examples of energy efficient and environmentally friendly refrigeration, AC or heat pump technology, the release said.

In keeping with the motto, “Chillventa Connecting Experts”, the jury’s evaluation has previously focused on the effective teamwork between the project stakeholders and their collaborative design and planning process, the release stated. Although this aspect will still be included in the jury’s evaluation in 2020, the main criterion will now be the energy efficiency of the technology, which also needs to impress in respect of its functionality and technical innovations, the release added. The expert panel will also assess the exemplary use of modern digital tools and methods for the design and operation of the system, the release further added.

According to the release, teams of experts – system engineers, planners, designers and operators – are eligible to participate in the four categories: Commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pumps.

Although exhibitors at Chillventa are not eligible to take part directly, they are invited to encourage system engineers, planners, designers and operators who have realised their best reference projects to enter the competition, and are welcome to actively help them put together the application documents, the release said, adding that the AWARD offers an excellent opportunity to present products exhibited at the event to a wider professional audience.
