The temperature-controlled storage sector in the UK has made massive achievements in reducing energy use, but to get ever closer to net zero as a sector businesses are now looking at how to achieve better efficiencies in existing sites.  For existing facilities – that have to remain operational, there are still significant opportunities for savings. Rob Lamb of Star Refrigeration will walk us through a project carried out at a 40+ years old temperature-controlled facility that has achieved improvements in energy, reliability and safety for the customer. He will share details of the reduction in both energy consumption and refrigerant charge and describe how the introduction of energy performance monitoring through the refrigeration plant control system in real-time has been used to predict consumption and help improve decision-making about future efficiency measures.
