UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. —William P. Bahnfleth, professor of architectural engineering, will be recognized by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) as the 2019 recipient of the E.K. Campbell Award. The annual award is given to an ASHRAE member for outstanding service and achievement in teaching in an accredited engineering or engineering technology program.
E.K. Campbell, a skilled engineer and businessman, was a very active member in the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, one of the predecessor societies that merged to form ASHRAE in 1959. He was a founding member and officer of the ASHRAE Life Members Club (LMC) — for members at least 65 years of age who have been society members for at least 30 years — which funds the award through member contributions and named it in Campbell’s honor.
