Lights Out for Expanded Lighting Energy Efficiency?
If you’ll excuse the pun, a threat does indeed exist against the legal requirement for larger swathes of lightbulbs to be energy efficient, and it’s no laughing matter. The Trump administration is seeking to undo an Obama-era regulation that applies to specialty
Refrigeration Problem of the Week: Compressor Failed to Start
Large commercial and industrial refrigeration systems are, despite their mammoth size, routinely affected by small, unseen issues. Small, of course, referring to the physical component experiencing the issue (fuses, switches, wiring) and not to their potential negative impact.
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
Decreasing Energy Costs as a Produce Facility — a PMA Webinar
Last month, the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) hosted an educational webinar about ways in which produce businesses can decrease energy costs, and pursue sustainability goals. Three guest speakers shared their expertise and described the tools and measures they implemented to achieve their
Where’s the Most Expensive Ice in the World? On Your Evaporator Coils
When evaporator coils ice up, efficiency drops dramatically, temperature set points are hard to maintain, it could damage equipment, and it puts perishable products at risk. Run time increases and operating costs can potentially go up by over 100%.
Refrigeration Problem of the Week: Evaporator Fans Shut Off Manually
Evaporator fans being turned off by employees is a common, routine occurrence in convenience store walk-ins. The fans are usually turned off during deliveries, product stocking, and inventory, situations where the noise and cold air make for less-than-ideal working environments.
6 Ways to Ensure an Evaporator Fan Energy Efficiency Retrofit is Done Right
Here, we’ll unpack some of the ways you can make sure that your energy-efficiency retrofit doesn’t turn into a refrigeration headache! Look for a strong reputation. There is no substitute for proven real-world results. This applies to both the technology and the
Governor Wolf Establishes Statewide Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency Goals in PA
The beauty of undertaking energy goals is that it is never just a 1:1 trade-off. There are numerous ancillary benefits, ranging from the obvious, giant elephant in the room that is the reduction of carbon emissions all the way to improved worker
