Air Conditioning Innovation of the Year

This award recognises the cutting-edge use of air conditioning technology, where the new technology provides a definitive change to existing techniques or equipment.

The judges will be looking for entries that make a contribution to environmentally friendlier cooling or heating, whether through reduced emissions, energy efficiency or improved performance.

Submissions can come from distributor, manufacturer or designer alike. Whilst this category still requires evidence to back-up claims, as it is for Innovation judges will be weighing ‘pushing boundaries’ and innovation more heavily than volume production.

In 1,000 words or less, please tell the judges why your entry should win. Successful finalists will be invited to pitch to judges in the face-to-face round in July.
