SGS Produce, a full-service wholesale produce company based in Los Angeles, operates a warehouse where produce is stored before being shipped out to various segments of the food industry. SGS runs evaporators 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to maintain optimal produce cold storage temperatures in the warehouse.

The problem
Running evaporator fan motors 24/7 for 365 days a year results in a huge energy bill. That’s why Carole Shandler, president of SGS Produce, is always looking for ways to reduce expenses.
