One of the most significant costs of operating a cold storage facility and the logistics associated with it is the expense connected with creating (and maintaining) a cool environment. A refrigerated or frozen warehouse’s energy bill can vary by thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars each month, making the need to control energy costs and increase efficiencies critical to ensuring success and survival.
Cold storage facilities require substantial amounts of electricity to maintain the proper temperatures necessary for preserving foods and beverages. In fact, electricity costs can comprise more than 25% of a cold storage building's ongoing operating costs, which at the end of the day, beats the other options of spoilage and lost products. But, those bills don’t have to be so painful.
