Chillventa AWARD honours flagship projects for energy efficiency
In 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”. 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.
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. 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 expert panel will also assess the exemplary use of modern digital tools and methods for the design and operation of the system.
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. The Chillventa AWARD will be presented during Chillventa in Nuremberg from 13-15 October 2020.
Call for projects: chillventa.de/en/award
Although exhibitors at Chillventa are not eligible to take part directly, they are cordially invited to encourage the 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 Chillventa AWARD offers an excellent opportunity to present products exhibited at the event to a wider professional audience.
Good prospects for Chillventa 2020
As a leading international fair, Chillventa is performing exceptionally well and is set to enjoy renewed growth in 2020. Already, six months before the event, nearly all stands have been booked. In 2020, the Chillventa CONGRESS will once again deliver knowledge-sharing at the highest professional level on the day before the fair. As always, the congress will be a source of comprehensive high-quality information, covering all segments of the refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump sector.
