ASHRAE highlights
innovative building concepts, technological achievements, and proven
sustainable design with actual operating data through the ASHRAE technology
award. Technology Awards are submitted to the regional level and then to
the society level. Society level awards compete on an international level
from all of the regional first place winners. Frederick Douglass High
School is a facility housing 1800 students and 150 staff members. The
high school is conditioned with a geothermal water-source heat pump system,
demand control ventilation, water-to-water heat pump domestic water system and
LED lighting. The school currently operates at 18.3 EUI out performing the
average high school in the nation by 60%.
The Bluegrass chapter technology award applications are due by the end of April
