Many businesses are actively looking at ways to reduce CO2 emmisions and lower their carbon footprint with the added advantage of saving money on energy bills.
Refrigerated cabinets have always presented a dilemma due to their open construction for access and product visualisation. The downside is that loss of temperature is constant throughout the opening hours of the store with night blinds utilised to minimise the loss at other times.
A simple solution is to install Eis-kalt clear glazed doors to refrigerated cabinets to minimise temperature loss at all times.
Contemporary, minimalist hinges and clear doors do not impair the appearance of the merchandised products. The doors can be opened up to 180º with automatic closing when the door is opened less than 25º.
Independent studies by a major supermarket chain were undertaken before and after the energy saving doors were fitted to assess the cost saving. The results showed up to 40% reduction in refrigeration running costs and positive customer and staff feedback.
