LinkedIn Rheem Sponsors New "Smartest Hot Water Use Award" in Annual NKBA Design copetition.
September 14, 2007
Rheem Water Heating will sponsor a new award to draw interest in a completely different product category in the 2008 NKBA Design Competition, hosted annually by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA). The new “Smartest Hot Water Use Award” is part of a three-year sponsorship agreement that Rheem Water Heating is announcing with the NKBA.
Designers entering two of the competition’s four bathroom-design categories – Large Bathrooms and Master Suite/Bathrooms – are invited to submit 100-word descriptions of the hot-water solutions they have devised to maximize both comfort and conservation in their bath projects.
The winner of the “Smartest Hot Water Use Award” will receive a $1,500 award and be recognized at the NKBA Design Awards Ceremony during the 2008 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Chicago next spring.
“The NKBA welcomes Rheem Water Heating to the NKBA Design Competition,” says Mike Kelly, CEO of the NKBA. “This valuable partnership will help kitchen and bath professionals better understand their options for efficient, resourceful, hot-water delivery.”
