The Emerson Cup 2010 India & South East Asia is calling for design entries!
 The Emerson Cup is an annual event that recognizes outstanding designs and innovation in the HVAC industry. The competition, being held for the last seven years in China, is now in its third consecutive year in India and South East Asia. It has traditionally been awarded to air-conditioning systems using the Digital Scroll technology. (Or) Air-conditioning systems, designed with the Digital Scroll Technology, have traditionally been awarded this prestigious cup for the last three years.
This year, the Emerson Cup 2010 is accepting nominations for any innovation across the field in HVAC&R technologies. Participation has also been extended to include engineers, architects, consultants, developers and students. The International panel of judges consists of industry experts in the field of Green Building, Energy Efficiency, Engineering, HVAC Design and Architecture from India, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.
Award categories are: New Buildings, Special Applications, Retail & Refrigeration, Retrofit, and Students. Excellence Awards for each of the first four categories carry prize money of US$ 3,000 and US$ 1,000 for the Honorary Awards. Excellence Awards in the Student Category carry prize money of US$1,000 each for Architecture and Engineering students.
The final date for the submission of entries is on July 15, 2010. The Awards Ceremony will be held at the Green Building Congress 2010 in Chennai, India on October 7-9, 2010. For more information on the Emerson Cup 2010, please visit www.digitalscroll.com/emersoncup
There are also other technologies with reasonable ROI as shown below.
Emerson Project:
One particular LEED certified building is the Tongji United Plaza, a 75,000 square meter office tower located in Yangpu district in Shanghai, China. It is the first property project in China to be pre-certified by LEED Core & Shell and is expected to achieve the Gold level.
Key Requirements:
1. High efficiency and energy saving system for both cooling and heating
2. Environment friendly
3. Strict control over electromagnetic interference
4. Flexible systems
The Plaza is a green building–balancing functionality, formality, economy, and environmental stewardship by being environmentally responsible with lower operational costs. This case shows how the process of energy analysis and integrated design contributed to the building’s high performance, incurring only an incremental cost of RMB 3.5M ($0.52M) million for the developer.
Malaysia Green Building Index (GBI):
LEED has eventually opened the doors to other local accreditation programs such as the Malaysia Green Building Index (GBI). Authors of the GBI understand the underlying importance of local factors such as Malaysia’s tropical climate and existing natural resources; hence GBI is designed to suit these conditions.
