Kirk T Mescher Innovation Award

 

Kirk T Mescher Award

This award is in memory of Kirk T Mescher, PE, an engineer who specialized in HVAC but whose real forte was innovation. Kirk’s design ideas are clever in and of themselves but the courage to implement them in projects and freely share the results underscores his exemplary service to our industry.  The award will be given in recognition of those who demonstrate or foster innovation, simplicity, and energy efficient designs for HVAC and GSHP systems.

This award is transitioning to the ASHRAE foundation for its administration.
