The Energy Manager Today Awards recognize and honor the strides made in the field of energy management, from developing and implementing energy strategies to recommending and buying energy-related equipment to monitoring and improving energy-use metrics to facility design and construction, and beyond. Companies are invited to enter original and successful products and projects that achieved high standards in terms of their contribution to reductions in energy consumption and energy costs.
The awards are designed to showcase achievements in energy efforts that show innovation, efficiency, reliability, and contribution to the bottom line from companies that are making the biggest difference in the field; by showcasing them in October, we hope they will help you make smart decisions about what products to purchase or what sorts of initiatives to implement in coming months.
