2020 Gold Medal Award

AWARD CITATION

The group is recognized for an exceptional research program to elucidate CO emissions from portable emergency generators as a function of generator design, operation, and outdoor weather via laboratory experiments and computer simulations in realistic residential settings. This body of work provided technical leadership to manufacturers and government agencies in direct support of safer generator use, specifically the development of CO emission limits, new generator designs with reduced emissions based on those limits, and industry consensus standards on generator design and use.
