Share Your Design Ideas with ASHRAE: We'll Share Them with the World
 
2010 ASHRAE Student Design Competition
   

 
ASHRAE invites undergraduate and graduate students around the world to gain valuable hands-on experience in practical design by submitting entries for its 2010 Student Design Competition, which will feature the Ginsburg Tower at Florida Hospital in Orlando, Fla. The Competition aims to promote teamwork and allow students to become involved in the HVAC profession early while still studying for their degree. Student teams are required to register online and may choose to compete in one of three categories: HVAC System Design, HVAC System Selection and the Competition's newest option, Integrated Sustainable Building Design.
 
ASHRAE recommends that the project groups consist of at least two members from an undergraduate engineering or architecture curriculum for the HVAC System Design and Selection categories and at least three members (architecture or construction, mechanical and electrical) for the ISBD category. The 2009 Student Design Competition saw the largest number of entries on record and ASHRAE looks forward to seeing even more student involvement in 2010.
 
To save on resources, all entries should be uploaded to an ASHRAE FTP site by May 7, 2010. First, second and third place winners will be chosen by August 6, 2010 and a representative from each team will be presented with their award at ASHRAE's 2011 Winter Conference to be held in Las Vegas, Nev. For more information, please visit www.ashrae.org/2010design.
