September 22, 2022 | Atlanta – We’re proud to announce that Adam Romano, Principal Building Systems Consultant at Steven Winter Associates, Inc. (SWA), received the 2022 International Award for Energy Professional Development from the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE).
The 2022 AEE International Awards were presented yesterday evening at the AEE International Awards Banquet. The banquet was held during the AEE World Energy Conference & Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.
Through its International Awards Program, AEE shines light on the important work that is being done by individuals, organizations, agencies, and corporations. These awards identify those who exemplify the very best in their fields.
“I feel very fortunate to be recognized by AEE, and I’m very excited to be receiving this award,” Romano said. “I’ve spent a good deal of my career designing and delivering training programs, and it’s a very gratifying to know that it has had such a big impact.”
Romano focuses on the design and implementation of energy retrofits, energy analysis, research and development, and instructional design and delivery. He has been committed to supporting professional development at all levels for more than 15 years.
Romano has led many training and workforce development initiatives during his career, which have been designed to support, advance, and expand the international talent pipeline for energy engineering and clean energy technology.
He has educated tens of thousands of engineers, architects, contractors, building operators, and entry-level job seekers in energy management and operations and maintenance (O&M). Most recently, he leveraged his experience designing and evaluating clean energy technologies to lead the development and delivery of a suite of training modules addressing net zero HVAC strategies for commercial and multifamily buildings—providing over 1,000 energy engineers with the best practices and knowledge they needed to design and implement heat pump solutions for space conditioning and water heating applications.
