“Plumbing
products, technologies and solutions have had a growing
presence at AHR Expo for several years,” said Clay
Stevens, President of International Exposition Company,
which produces and manages the AHR Expo. “Adding
plumbing as a new category to the AHR Expo Innovation
Awards allows us to include all the major segments
represented at the Show.” Sponsored by International
Exposition Company (IEC), the American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
and the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration
Institute (AHRI), all entries are reviewed and evaluated
by a panel of industry judges based on the competition
criteria.
Winners
of the Innovation Awards will be recognized at an awards
ceremony during the AHR Expo in Las Vegas and will
receive special placards to place in their booths as
well as an etched crystal award to be displayed in their
company headquarters. In addition, one of the ten
winning entries will be selected as the 2011 AHR Expo
Product of the Year. All entry fees from the 2011 AHR
Innovation Awards will be presented to a Las Vegas area
charity or community organization as a way for AHR Expo
and its Co-Sponsors to “give back” to the community.
Since the inception of the program, tens of thousands of
dollars have been donated to worthy organizations where
the Show is held each year. Exhibitors can submit one
product per category, but AHR Expo Innovation Awards
winners from the previous year cannot resubmit the same
product.
