The New Mexico Association of Energy Engineers announced that UNM won the 2008 Energy Leadership Award. The award will be presented to UNM President David Schmidly.
The award letter says, “With your courageous leadership, UNM is on the path to an energy and water neutral campus. You demonstrated foresight by signing the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment within one month of your arrival at UNM and by hiring Energy Education, Inc. to turn UNM into a truly sustainable campus. Your decisions on sustainability will have a strong impact on the students who will take your vision across New Mexico, the country and beyond.”
Additionally, UNM Physical Plant Facilities Engineer Hans Barsun and Associate Professor Andrea Mammoli, School of Engineering, were honored for the 2008 Renewable Energy Project of the Year.
The NMAEE has joined with the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers and the New Mexico Facility Managers Network to recognize excellence in the professional and educational community.
