Efficiency
“Because a cheap Walk-In can be Expensive!”
A great many walk-in owners mistakenly believe that their high operating costs are normal because they have unfortunately purchased units of inferior quality that do not last, that use too much electricity, that reduce their product’s shelf life, and so on. We determined early on that we would always recommend the right solution to our valued customers.
A Big Picture Approach
Since our inception, we have worked hard to bring efficiency to all aspects of our solutions. We can proudly say that we have achieved this goal, and you may be surprised at some of the questions our team will ask you, particularly for larger projects. Our comprehensive approach includes consideration of your refrigeration needs, but also of your location, available space, material handling, traffic flow, product turnaround, etc.
Three Types of Efficiency
Cold & Green helps our customers in the three following areas:
- Energy Efficiency
- Operational Efficiency
- Inventory Efficiency
Energy Efficiency
Our team places the utmost importance on fabricating and delivering energy-efficient, superior quality goods that meet or exceed US and EISA requirements. As far as we know, we are the only manufacturer in the United States to offer insulated panels made of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) that feature an R-value of 42 (68% greater than EISA requires for coolers and 31% greater than the freezer requirement). This translates into very significant energy savings, and because EPS does not lose its insulative capacity over time as other materials do, it means a lifetime of savings. Our R&D team is currently developing a number of innovations to deliver other types of energy efficiency, and as our customer, you will be the first to benefit when these become available.
The Right Design
As the manufacturer, we have great flexibility in what we are able to recommend and fabricate, and we will work closely with you in the spirit of Design-Build, meaning that we actively look for ways to enhance your initial design. We will look at available space & building height, different refrigeration options, and different layouts. We may ask you about the traffic flow in your operation, about the number of SKUs, desired pallet positions, the timing of deliveries & shipments, etc. We will look at such aspects as condensation potential, chamber footprint, door types & placement, and many other aspects. Then we will propose what we think is an ideal solution, but because we live in the real world too, we make you aware of feature tradeoffs so as to make your precious budget dollars work as hard as you do.
Treat Your Product Right!
Your business provides a livelihood for you and your employees, so you know how critical it is to avoid waste & to protect your inventory. In the refrigeration context, an incorrect storage temperature and humidity can result in substantial product spoilage, in the best of cases. If you unknowingly ship or deliver poor quality products to your customers, your reputation could suffer and you could lose customers. In the worst cases, the wrong conditions might cause produce that makes customers ill or medicine not to work, resulting in liability and threatening your business’ very existence. For these reasons, we never cut corners and rely on time-tested ASHRAE recommendations concerning design conditions.
