The prize in the Mechanical/Materials category was awarded to the EcoSnap-AC Heat Pump System created by Chuck Booten and Jon Winkler from NREL's Advanced Residential Buildings research group.
The award in the Analytical/Test category went to the Battery Internal Short-Circuit Device developed by Matthew Keyser and Ahmad Pesaran from NREL's Energy Storage research group.
"We are honored to receive this prestigious award with our collaborators at NASA," said Keyser.
