Making your school’s greener can be done with simple energy saving technology.
The Issue
At any rate schools catering is one of the major users of energy. Compared with the high power ratings of cooking equipment, refrigeration is relatively small. However, cold storage equipment is in continuous use and can represent a significant energy cost. Refrigerators and freezers consume significant amounts of energy, especially as they are on 24/7. Indeed regular cleaning and maintenance checks are important but there is still more to be saved.
