NEW YORK, April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineering
News-Record (ENR, http://enr.construction.com), McGraw Hill
Construction's industry-leading information source, today announced
that Stephen E. Selkowitz of
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has received the 49th
Award of Excellence, ENR's highest honor. Selkowitz received
the award in front of more than 800 industry leaders this evening
at a black-tie awards gala in New York
City. He was among ENR's 2013 Top 25 Newsmakers, who were
also honored for their achievements.
Selkowitz sparked a paradigm shift in the fenestration sector
through the development of invisible window coatings from his post
at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, operated by the University of
California, where he is now senior adviser. He is the
acknowledged leader for research, development and deployment of
high-performing windows, envelopes, daylighting and lighting
systems for buildings. He was chosen by ENR editors as the
Award of Excellence winner for inspiring a green-building research
revolution, triggered by construction of the one-of-a-kind
FLEXLAB. The lab is an outside-user, rentable, plug-'n'-test
facility for full-scale, controlled experiments on integrated green
office-building systems.
"We are thrilled to honor Stephen
Selkowitz as this year's ENR Award of Excellence winner,"
said Jan Tuchman, Editor-in-Chief,
ENR. "It is inspiring to see his ingenuity and passion at work… the
way he bridges the research laboratory and the industry
practitioner. Just as compelling is that his work shows
measurable results in terms of saving energy for the nation --
something all of us care about deeply."
Selkowitz is featured in the April
7 issue of ENR. For more details on the Top 25
