The 2013 ControlTrends Awards and red carpet event at NYC’s BB King Club and Grill were a huge success! The same fierce storm that delayed this post (hotel internet service down) unfortunately, also caused many to miss this exciting industry milestone. Austin Powers, Marilyn Monroe, and Frank Sinatra were on-hand to assist MC, Marc Petock in recognizing the HVAC and Building Automation superstars, heroes, and award winners of 2013. ControlTrends Awards also unveiled the ControlTrends Awards Museum, the future digital home of all the nominees, award winners, and members of the Hall of Fame, as well as the integrated information source and documented history of the HVAC-related industries. Also announced, were its second Hall of Fame Inductee, Jerry Frank and the Petock Award recipient, John Petze.
Jerry Frank, Hall of Fame Inductee: Jerry Frank created Tridium in 1995, introducing the Niagara development platform that would forever change the building automation industry, and positively impact many other neighboring industries. For over a decade, Jerry Frank and Tridium, then provided next generation technology, vision, and forged the future roadmap that continued to expand Tridium’s position as the industry leader and most recognized innovator.

How does Honeywell win ANYTHING? Honeywell Support???? You seriously have got to be joking me
Rami, you obviously are stuck in the past a bit and haven’t used WEBsSquad. The Honeywell TAC days are gone. WEBsSquad Support are awesome. A smaller company can provide better one on one support but as they grow that will change like it did for Distech and Tridium.
What’s the difference between ControlTrends Award Technical Support (Vendor) of the Year and ControlTrends Awards Building Automation System of the Year
