EFC Innovations Award
Why EFC Innovations?
Challenges are easier to beat when we share ideas and techniques to succeed. With that in mind, we want to learn about your innovations so we can share them with others and, in turn, share their innovations with you. After all, we’re all in this together. To help stimulate the submission of innovations and best practices, we created the EFC Innovations Award. This award is presented every year at the annual Energy/Facilities Connections Conference.
Eligibility
Public, non-profit and tribal organizations are eligible, and you do not have to have attended an EFC event to apply. Innovations must be facilities-related. The definition of facilities-related is intended to be wide-ranging and includes such fields as maintenance, custodial, new construction and renovation, security, grounds, and emergency preparedness. If you are uncertain about whether your innovation applies, please contact the EFC Planning team, 360-956-2133 or email plantops@energy.wsu.edu (include “EFC Innovations Award” in the subject line).
