Winners

Building Automation
The Belimo Aircontrols (USA) BAS
Data Logging Energy Valve is a hydronic heating/cooling load measuring
and control valve that communicates directly with building automation systems
to keep building owners and operators
informed of coil performance and combat low DT syndrome. It features a builtin DT manager that allows operators
to ἀne-tune and document coil performance as well as create history reports
on power efἀciency. Booth 479.
Cooling
The Next Generation Copeland Scroll
variable speed compressor product line
from Emerson Climate Technologies
features the second generation of the
company's variable speed technology. It
can achieve cooling efἀciency levels of
25+ SEER and heating efἀciency up to
13 HSPF. A turndown of 20% capacity
enables better light load efἀciency and
dehumidiἀcation. Other features include
a brushless permanent magnet motor
and a new gas management method for
smooth gas Ḁow into scroll set. Booths
1024, 1029, 1031, 1729.
Green Building
Lafert North America high performance metric motors come in speeds
ranging from 1,500-4,500 rpm and
in metric frame sizes from 71 to 132.
These permanent magnet motors are
suited for applications involving pumps,
fans and compressors with an emphasis
on reducing size, weight and operating
costs while achieving an IE4 efἀciency
rating. HPS range drives control standalone permanent magnet motors, while
HPI range drives are integrated into the
motors. Booth 7143.
Heating
The 7 Series 700A11 variable capacity geothermal heat pump from
WaterFurnace International provides
heating, cooling and hot water for residential applications. Advanced controls
provide two-way communication between components and offer diagnostic
capabilities, true energy monitoring and

integration into home automation networks. The variable capacity compressor, variable speed loop pump, and variable speed blower motor work in unison
to scale output to capacity needed.
Booth 1865.
Indoor Air Quality
The NEPTRONIC SKD direct steam
injection humidiἀer injects and disperses a boiler's low pressure steam into the
building's air supply system to attain
the desired humidity level. The unit integrates a factory conἀgured electronic
steam controller, a re-evaporator and a
high-efἀciency steam dispersion system
that eliminates drained condensate and
water/energy waste. Suitable applications include hospitals/health care, museums, laboratories, universities or airports. Booth 357.
Plumbing
Rheem Manufacturing Company's
Prestige Series hybrid electric heat
pump water heater for residential applications features a full-color, backlit
touch-screen control that displays service alerts and text-based diagnostic
information for contractors. Owners
can choose from ἀve operating modes
based on real-time demands of their
households: Energy Saver, Heat Pump
Only, High Demand, Electric Only and
Vacation. The product offers an ambient temperature range of 37°F - 120°F
(2°C- 49°C) and an 8,700 Btu/h
(2550 W) compressor with an energy
factor of 2.45. Booth 1211.
Refrigeration
The ADAP-KOOL AK-SM 800 Series from Danfoss is supermarket refrigeration control system accessible from
a Web browser or mobile device. The
service app for mobile devices gives Ḁexibility to service personnel and the Web
application enables owners and operators
to monitor and manage data and alarms
across store locations. The system uses
adaptive suction pressure optimization
to ensure operating efἀciency in every
display case, reducing energy consumption without compromising food safety.
Booth 1629.

Software
Revit Connection 2.0 from HVAC Solution is add-in software for Autodesk
Revit and BIM software for schematics and schedule creation. The software
imports intelligent air, hydronic, steam
and control schematics into Revit and
allows mapping of HVAC components.
This data can then be transferred, allowing for automatic creation of equipment
schedules. Errors are reduced by using
schematics as the source for scheduling,
aiding in projects from conception to
construction. Booth 7000.
Tools & Instruments
Imperial's iManifold, a smartphonecompatible digital refrigeration manifold wirelessly displays the system's
actual pressures, temperatures, superheat and subcooling while simultaneously calculating performance targets.
A color display provides visual indication of distance from target measurement, eliminating guesswork. Features
include air conditioning/refrigeration
equipment proἀling, geotagging, trending, data logging and smart diagnostics. Booth 930.
Ventilation
The Haiku ceiling fan from Big Ass
Fans is made with environment-friendly
materials and uses an ultra-efἀcient direct current (dc) motor with patent-pending electronic controls and permanent
magnets to ensure quiet operation. The
fan uses 2 W to 30 W of power depending
on speed setting, and features balanced
airfoils. The motor design eliminates heat
and wear. Booth 1811.

Honorable Mention

Building Automation
American Auto-Matrix offers the
AspectFT 2.0 Web-enabled BAS with
HTML5 integration. The automation
and energy control system uses technology such as Microsoft Outlook, Twitter,
RSS feeds and a Web interface to give
users access to the BAS from Web-enabled devices such as smartphones and
tablets. Setpoints can be set or changed
and trending can be enabled or disabled
remotely. Booth 102.
