awards - Engineered Systems

Thank you for submitting a project for our Engineering Awards. We want to hear about what makes this story special. We know many different things can make a project exceptional, from pure design ability to an unusual obstacle, from great teamwork to tremendous savings, and beyond.

We don't expect each submission to have each of these ingredients. We simply want to share success stories where people accomplished something special, in hopes of inspiring other readers in their own work.

There is no word maximum or minimum for these submissions. Some level of detail does help, and the three sections below provide some ideas on what information to include. Deadline for all submissions is Friday, August 15. We will announce the winner(s) in the October issue.

Prizes will be awarded, including a keepsake for display in your office, the full ES "Back2Basics" library on CD, and promotional ePrints of the 2008 ES Engineering Awards feature article.

Help us show the HVAC community what you can do!
