2008 ASHRAE Technology Award - Apichit Lumlertpongpana - First Place | 
Apichit Lumlertpongpana, managing director, and Wichai Rungruangprug, I.T.C., Bangkok , receive first place in the new industrial facilities or processes category for his design of Charoen Pokphan Foods Public Co., Chokchai , Thailand .
The design focused on a refrigeration system and low-temperature air conditioning for a poultry slaughter and processing plant, with a slaughter capacity of 360,000 birds per day. By installing smaller compressors, smaller suction pipes and insulation material, the system saves some $200,000 of the first cost of equipment and material. The estimated annual energy savings is nearly $300,000 a year, with an estimated total reduction of carbon dioxide emissions equal to 1,900 metric tons per year. Water usage was reduced by 91.3 percent. 
2006 Fellow ASHRAE - Dr.Piya Chongvatana | 
Dr.Piya Chongvatana is president,Patkol Public Co.Ltd.,
Bangkok , Thailand . He built the first food quality tube ice
making machine in Thailand .Today, his company is one of
the two largest manufacturers of tube ice makers in the world.
Dr. Chongvatana’s other product lines include stainless steel evaporative condensers, spiral freezers, tray tunnel freezers and continuous fluidized bed freezers,among others used in breweries and seafood and milk processing plants. He designed the largest poultry processing plant in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations where some 500,000 chickens are frozen each day. In 2004, he received the Thailand Outstanding Technologist Award from the Foundation forthe Promotion of Science and Technology, which is the first time the award was given to someone outside the civil service.
2004 Fellow ASHRAE - Asso. Prof. Tawee Vechaputti |
 Tawee Vechaphutti is associate professor, mechanical
engineering department, faculty of engineering, Chulalongkorn
University, Thailand. Considered a leading researcher, his
projects have included thermal comfort, energy conservation
in buildings and overall thermal transfer valvue (OTTV) of
buildings in Thailand. His OTTV study, which resulted in
guidelines for architects to design buildings with less cooling
loads, was the first of its kind in Thailand.
Another project on thermal comfort is widely used as a reference for engineers. Vechaphutti investigated the thermal comfort requirements for subjects in hot and humid conditions in office buildings. He determined that the comfort temperatures for Thai men and women are 73.7°F (23.2°C). He also designed the HVAC system for the largest shopping center in Thailand and Southeast Asia, which included a low kilowatt tons of refrigeration chiller, the first used in the country. He served as chair of a committee that drafted the air-conditioning section of the government’s energy policy.
