Energy Efficient Venders Hold Key To 'Going Green'
As customers pay more attention to environmental initiatives, vending operators are finding it pays to conserve energy in their operations.
ENERGY DEPARTMENT CLARIFIES STANDARDS
The DOE categorizes equipment based on performance-related or utility-related factors affecting energy efficiency. DOE maintains two classifications for refrigerated beverage vending machines: “zone-cooled’’ and ‘‘fully-cooled’’ as opposed to glass-front and solid-front machine designations. In addition to whether a beverage vending machine is zone-cooled or fully-cooled, the ambient conditions that a machine operates within also affect energy efficiency. As a result, DOE further segments requirements based on whether the equipment will function in an indoor-only environment.
Next month, we will examine the federal government’s initiatives for vending machines.
