The Emerson Cup 2012 :
The Emerson Cup, an annual awards competition, recognizes innovation and outstanding energy efficient designs in the HVACR industry. As a leading competition within the industry in India and Southeast Asia, The Emerson Cup helps foster innovation in technology and system design.

Over the past four years, The Emerson Cup has promoted the development and application of energy efficient solutions in air conditioning and refrigeration, as well as provided a valuable platform for exchange among industry professionals and rising talents.

Now celebrating its 5th year, The Emerson Cup continues to emphasize on driving advancements and innovative solutions in air conditioning and refrigeration in terms of the scope and range of technology applications.

Project Evaluation Criteria :
Nomination Pre-Requisites (not applicable for Students) :
** Projects / building executed / commissioned and in running condition with measured performance data, for minimum 6 months
** Building should be conditioned (not applicable to commercial refrigeration category) – conventional /non-conventional systems
** Projects nominated for previous years can be re-nominated this year, subject to meeting this year’s nomination criteria – other than previous Emerson Cup awarded projects

Design projects in the field of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration technologies will be evaluated based on the following criteria :
1. Design Approach (25%)
Accounting for a quarter of the evaluation criteria, design approach includes an inclination to sustainable design that values the environment and the use of natural resources – such as solar power or wind patterns – as a fundamental aspect in designing or modifying a building while maximizing the use of energy efficient and ecological materials. Also taken into consideration is an improved load optimization and reduction that enhances the building’s capacity, performance and energy efficiency ratio while reducing cooling demand.

2. Energy (35%)
One of the key focuses for project evaluation is the overall energy efficiency of the building that reflects its sustainable design. The project should exhibit fine practices such as the use of renewable energy, good strategy in system integration and control, high energy efficiency etc. The actual measured energy usage is also required as a design proof.

3. Environmental Quality – Indoor and Outdoor (15%)
Environmental quality underscores the use of eco-friendly refrigerants or those that have low global warming potential and ozone depletion potential. At the same time, the observation of precise thermal comfort and air quality while maintaining a low sound for acoustic quality will be accounted for.

4. Economics (15%)
Another factor that affects the project evaluation is the building’s life cycle cost, or the total life span cost to purchase, install, operate, maintain and dispose the project. An analysis of the life cycle cost of a building translates to the selection of the most reliable option among different solutions – providing the best return on investment.

5. Technology (10%)
Another area to be measured is the project’s reliability of design or its ability to withstand time or other related factors while maintaining simple procedures for operation and maintenance. An ability to cater to a wide range of modulation capacity based on demand – scalability – will also be assessed.

Note :
** Measured performance data shall be submitted to verify the innovation
** Not applicable to commercial refrigeration category
