Installing a new Cooler? How to develop a plan of action.
Energy efficiency has many benefits. When consumers make purchase decisions based on energy efficiency, the environment usually benefits. These purchase decisions often result in reduced expenses and lower costs, both initially and over the long-term. Learn about important energy efficiency rules regarding a walk-in cooler or a walk-in freezer to cut down on CO2 emissions into the environment.
CO2 emissions are the output of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by equipment. Reducing energy use is one way to reduce these emissions. Commercial cooling appliances are historically major sources of CO2 emissions. This equipment may not use significant amounts of electricity, but they produce potentially harmful emissions. Just the fact that they are operating 24/7/365 puts them into the category of big environmental offenders.
The U.S. Department of Energy is taking steps to manage these issues by setting new efficiency rules for various types of equipment. Business owners who use a walk-in cooler or a walk-in freezer should learn about new designs and rules. New efficiency standards will require a mandatory reduction in costs and emissions over the next 30 years. Revised standards would raise the bar to ensure that equipment adheres to stricter requirements of efficiency. Over the next 30 years, the Department of Energy predicts that these changes could result in as much as 1.8 billion tons of reduced output. Not only would this benefit the environment, but it would also result in more jobs and significant money savings.
Savvy business owners should consider exploring improvements for their walk-in cooler or walk-in freezer to benefit their business with valuable savings.
