Reducing Commercial Refrigeration System Energy Consumption May Lower Fossil Fuel Usage
August 7, 2018
Commercial refrigeration system energy consumption can be an important step that your grocery store, convenience store or supermarket can take to help you save on your energy bills. However, making this your goal and taking proactive steps to meet that goal may also help out your community by reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned by your local power company. One vital part of meeting your reduced commercial refrigeration system energy consumption goal is to find someone to assist you with meaningful solutions.
At Energy Optimization, our team has been assisting businesses across the country with their commercial refrigeration system optimization, retrofitting and installation needs since 1995. In that time, our team has helped businesses to complete $750 million in energy projects. To help your business meet its goal of reducing commercial refrigeration system energy consumption, Energy Optimization recommends retrofitting your systems with variable frequency drives.
Variable Frequency Drives: What They Can Do for You and Your Community
You’ve probably crunched the numbers and decided that your business can save on its energy costs by reducing your commercial refrigeration system energy consumption, and you’d be correct. However, what you may not have considered is that reaching this goal for your company can also benefit your community.
Reaching your energy consumption reduction goal can assist your community by reducing the amount of fossil fuels that your local electric company must burn to produce the community’s energy. Approximately 62% of U. S. electricity production in 2017 came from burning fossil fuels like natural gas and coal according to the Energy Information Administration.
Therefore, if your business can help your power company burn less fossil fuels, you’ll be saving your community on energy generation costs and on the costs of the fuels, too. Not to mention the environmental savings that this burning reduction would have, such as fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
The team at Energy Optimization is here to help you meet your goal of reducing your energy consumption by installing new variable frequency drives in your refrigeration equipment. These new drives have the potential to save you energy thanks to their:
- Advanced semiconductor switches
- New drive topologies
- Upgraded control hardware
All of these features and more make variable frequency drives from Energy Optimization a great way for you to meet your goal of reducing your commercial refrigeration system energy consumption, save on your energy costs and assist your community in burning less fossil fuels to generate electricity.
