On #EEDay2019, Polls Show Mixed Reactions to Energy-Saving Habits
According to a poll conducted by the AP-NORC, people are very much influenced by whether an energy-saving habit can conceivably fit into their lifestyle and schedule, and if it helps their finances.
Oil-Filled Temperature Sensors for HVACR 101
Oil-filled temperature sensors are one of three, general sensor options along with electronic or gas-filled. Oil-filled may be worth considering if, for example, you wanted to track something like the internal temperature of stored product. This blog post introduces oil-filled temperature sensors.
Coolers/Freezers and Energy Efficiency 101: Lighting Impact on Refrigerated Load Savings
While upgrading lighting fixtures to more efficient LEDs is a practice that in-and-of-itself reduces electrical usage, many are not aware that this measure also bears an indirect effect on refrigerated load savings.
Engineer’s Corner: An Opinion on Calculated Versus Deemed Savings Approach
In a deemed savings approach, pre-determined kW and kWh savings are attributable to energy efficiency measures in a particular type of application and in a calculated approach, specific variables involved in the application must be determined beforehand to then calculate the savings.
Refrigeration Problem of the Week: Short Cycling in a Quick-Serve Restaurant’s Freezer
Short cycling is a common issue that often goes undetected because the system is running, and safe temperatures in the space are still maintained, but it’s excessively running much more than it needs to.
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
Reducing emissions and adopting renewable energy have taken on international attention and are solid, long-term strategies to decrease our carbon footprint and our energy expenses. But there is a practice that has more immediate positive impact: energy efficiency.
Is HVAC/Refrigeration Automation the Next Big Thing for IoT?
Lighting, heating systems, and refrigeration systems can all stand to be improved either through incorporation into a Building Management System or equipped with their own specific controls and automation tools.
