Energy-efficient solutions can save you
tens of thousands of dollars every year
Costly energy losses are hiding around every corner........
where are the biggest hidden losses?
|
- Trailer door hinge gaps
Exposed gaps around swing-out trailer doors create the equivalent of a 2 1/2 square foot hole in the dock wall -- costing your facility thousands of dollars in energy losses.
- Dock Leveler gaps
Heating and cooling energy can escape through the gaps where the dock leveler, truck and dock seal or shelter all meet. Heat transfer through the steel leveler deck adds to the loss.
|  |
- Ineffective floor and ceiling fans
Traditional floor or ceiling fans are ineffective at destratifying heat energy from floor to ceiling - resulting in inconsistent temperature throughout your facility.
- Inefficient freezer openings
Frost collecting on freezer doors or the use of heated air curtains or heat lamps to keep them clean can indicate substantial energy losses that can total tens of thousands of dollars each year.
