Innovative engineering design for Western Michigan University’s Heritage Hall has earned a TowerPinkster mechanical engineer the highest award achievable by the international engineering society, ASHRAE.
Jonathan Rumohr, PE, HBDP, LEED AP BD+C, a senior mechanical engineer at West Michigan Architecture and Engineering firm TowerPinkster, received the Award of Engineering Excellence during the 2018 ASHRAE Winter Conference in Chicago. Each year the Society presents awards in six categories: Commercial, Institutional, Health Care, Industrial or Processes, Public Assembly, and Residential. Building energy performance must be proven through one year’s actual, verifiable operating data. For each category first, second, and honorable mention winners are named, and one of the category first-place winners may be recognized to receive the ASHRAE Award of Engineering Excellence.
