In March 2007, it was announced that Ziehl-Abegg would be a participant in the final round for the „‘Air Movement Product of the Year’ Award during the 2007 h&v news Awards contest. Ziehl-Abegg participated in this competition with the EC variant of the FE2owlet axial fan (EC = electronically commutated motor). On 3 May 2007 during a ceremony held in the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane, London, in the presence of 1,000 guests from the heating and ventilation industry, the „FE2owlet-ETAvent“ was named as the winner of the prestigious „Air Movement Product of the Year“ Award.
