DAILY/MONTHLY TEMPERATURE LOG
2017 Sees the Finalization of New WICF Regulations for Energy Efficiency; Compliance by 2020
These new standards will have an impact on a wide range of refrigeration systems. They will affect everything from low-temperature dedicated condensing systems, to more common systems like medium- and low-temperature walk-ins.
Curious where your state ranks in average energy costs?
As we roll through the dog days of summer, air conditioners are working hard everywhere, and businesses with refrigeration systems are scrimping pennies to battle the heat to maintain temperature in their cold spaces. Whether the walk-in coolers (or freezers) are storing
5 Reasons Why Energy Efficiency is a Smart Corporate Investment
Continuously rising energy costs. A planet that’s heating up as a result of human impact. Shrinking margins and the oversaturation of markets. At the surface level, these issues may seem unrelated. But these threats, along with a multitude of other factors, try
The Future of HVACR Energy Efficiency: Monitoring-Based Commissioning
Monitoring-Based Commissioning is a combination of controls, sensors, software and sometimes ‘human review,’ that constantly monitors equipment by way of algorithms and real-time data to detect faults and optimize performance.
Energy Efficiency Can Get Us Halfway to Our Energy Goals, says the ACEEE
While large, obviously impactful changes in energy consumption will determine whether the international community reaches its lofty climate change goals or not, it is a situation in which the classic saying “a little bit goes a long way” still applies. In this
Historically Cold Climate can Wreak Havoc on Air-Cooled Condensing Units
The historically cold temperatures gripping a lot of the country right now are not detrimental only to you, and your home heating bill; they are also increasing the likelihood of an operational issue in air-cooled condensing units. The use of low pressure
Engineer’s Corner: An Opinion on Calculated Versus Deemed Savings Approach
In nearly every state, energy efficiency programs exist to help business owners, residents, government institutions, schools—and most other entities that utilize energy—conserve said energy and prevent waste. Through these programs, retrofitting of equipment loads such as refrigeration, lighting, and HVAC, is incentivized
FDA Provides an Update on the new Produce Safety Rule
As the full, national rollout of the Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA)—a sweeping reform of food safety laws designed to better prevent issues as opposed to simply responding to them—continues, some of the larger regulatory pieces are taking their time in
