What goes up must come down, right? Well, not necessarily, especially when it comes to energy costs. Thankfully, today’s refrigerated and frozen food processors can choose from an assortment of energy-efficient solar roofing systems that are off the grid.
To reduce energy consumption during the hot summer months, Solar Shield, Inc., Blythewood, S.C., developed a Solar Shield evaporative roof cooling system. Designed to intermittently spray a fine mist of water onto the roof, the water evaporates, carrying with it more than 8,000 BTUs of heat per gallon.
