The 2027 Energy Efficiency Award recognizes breakthrough system-level innovations that significantly advance energy efficiency in electric-powered equipment used across global consumer and industrial applications.
The focus areas, objectives, priorities, and themes of this award include energy efficiency in system design, advancement of electric-powered appliances and equipment, high global impact solutions, and improvements in commonly used technologies such as LED lighting systems, air conditioning units, comfort fans, refrigerator-freezers, heat pump systems for space and water heating, electric motors, electric cookers, televisions, and water pumps, with emphasis on continuous-use devices that contribute substantially to global electricity consumption.
The award is intended to highlight innovations that improve energy efficiency at the system level rather than focusing on renewables or electrification strategies. It emphasizes practical engineering advancements in appliances and equipment rather than regulatory frameworks such as building codes. The recognition is aimed at technologies that demonstrate measurable reductions in energy usage while maintaining or improving performance in widely deployed electric systems.
Eligible nominations include companies and organizations worldwide that design, manufacture, or integrate electric-powered systems, with a strong emphasis on solutions that can deliver widespread global impact. The award acknowledges that multiple technologies may be combined within a system to achieve overall efficiency improvements, reflecting the complexity of modern electrical product design.
The winner of the award will be publicly announced at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) 2027 in New Orleans, where the selected recipient or their delegate will be invited to receive the award in person. Travel support is provided to facilitate attendance at the ceremony and recognition of the achievement.
