Unfreezing the Savings Potential of Commercial Refrigeration Equipment

Commercial refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerated display cabinets, beverage coolers, ice cream freezers and vending machines, is essential for the storage or display of foodstuffs in the retail and food service sectors. Over 120 million units were estimated to be in operation worldwide in 2010.

It is projected that by 2040, the electricity consumption for an ever-growing stock of commercial refrigeration will increase by nearly 40%. Fortunately, technologies are widely available to improve energy efficiency and use refrigerants with a lower global warming potential.

This webinar will provide insights into UNEP U4E’s Model Regulation Guidelines for Energy-Efficient and Climate-Friendly Commercial Refrigeration Equipment. These were developed in consultation with a volunteer group of experts from various sectors and regions to balance ambitious recommendations without adverse impacts on the upfront costs and availability of products. They offer a foundation for setting energy efficiency, functional performance, and refrigerant requirements, and discuss considerations such as definitions, scope of coverage and test procedures based on international best practices.
