The state of energy consumption legislation for commercial reach-in refrigerators and freezers and other refrigerated products.

Author(s) : LEHMAN R. D.

Summary

A substantial amount of energy is used each year to power commercial refrigeration equipment in restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, and fast food establishments. This paper reviews the history and near future of commercial refrigerator and freezer energy regulations in the USA and Canada. This paper also reviews energy consumption regulations for commercial ice machines and walk-in refrigerators and freezers. Published test results are compared to the existing standards so a current state of technology can be reviewed. Manufacturers and engineers for all commercial refrigeration equipment must be aware of these standards, and must prepare their products to meet these increasingly more stringent standards.
