There was a time when innovation was synonymous with industries like information technology or biotechnology, but that’s certainly changed.
Innovation has become necessary for any company seeking market leadership and it certainly applies to HVACR.
While HVACR is a well established leader in energy efficiency and sustainability, there are so many other areas where this industry is making a difference.
Just take a look at past winners of this award including Samit Sen of Johnson Controls.
In 2016 the winner was Steve Oakley, Managing Director of Heuch Refrigeration, a company that commercialised the world’s first 100 per cent solar powered refrigeration container.
Here we are in 2018 and the search is on for this year’s innovator of the year. It is an opportunity to recognise an innovative project, program or product that has made a difference in HVACR.
Are you an innovator or do you know an innovator that is worthy of an award?
The sponsor of this award, Toshiba Air Conditioning, recognises the importance of supporting industry innovators.
The company’s business unit manager, John Caione, describes innovation as the lifeblood of growth.
“Innovation needs to be encouraged, we want to inspire the next generation of innovators through this awards program”, Caione said.
