David Hughes accepts the award among the award founders and past winners (l-r): Robert Bean (founder), John Goshulak (2016), John Barba (2012), Ingrid Mattsson (2018), Bob Rohr (2020), Dave Hughes (2023), Dave Yates (2006), John Siegenthaler (2014) and Dan Holohan (founder).

Dave Hughes, technical adviser with CIPH and past chair of the Canadian Hydronics Council, was honoured with the Carlson-Holohan Industry Award of Excellence on Feb. 6 during the AHR Expo in Atlanta.

A top honour in the field of hydronics in North America, the award is presented once every two years (last year was an exception) to an individual in Canada or the U.S. who has demonstrated a passion for hydronic technologies manifested through education, marketing and philanthropy.

The award was founded in 2006 by Dan Holohan and Robert Bean, and the winner is selected by the inductees and is presented with a replica of a Bell & Gossett System Syzer wheel which was invented by Gil Carlson.

The unique circular slide rule calculates the relationship between flow rate, temperature change and heat transfer rate.

Hughes is the ninth recipient of the award.
