Cold storage facilities run the highest continuous refrigeration loads in any sector. We reduce that energy consumption by 25–35% — without raising temperatures, modifying systems, or disrupting warehouse operations.
Cold storage and logistics facilities run heavy freezer rooms and chilled bays around the clock — 365 days a year. Compressors account for 80–90% of refrigeration energy, and most run harder than they need to on every single cycle.
Cold storage is where the layered approach delivers its highest documented whole-site outcomes — 25–35% — because refrigeration dominates consumption and responds dramatically to Layer 2 optimization.
A major food distribution center operating five chilled cold rooms and three high-load freezer systems deployed enPact Refrigeration & Cooling across all eight units. Freezers were operating at 68.5 kW each — making refrigeration by far the dominant energy load on site. The technology uses AI-driven optimization to reduce compressor runtime using superheat-based control, while maintaining exact setpoint temperatures throughout.
The pilot ran across 34 days in winter, capturing 26.5% refrigeration energy reduction and more than 219 kWh saved per day across the freezer rooms alone. Because refrigeration loads increase 25% in warmer months, full-year savings were adjusted upward: 112,432 kWh annually, with a projected 11-month payback.
Applied across the operator's 340-site portfolio, the verified per-site result projects to 34.4 million kWh saved annually — one of the highest-impact opportunities documented in the refrigeration category.
The distribution center case study included a 340-site projection. The numbers confirm that consistent per-site results translate linearly at portfolio scale.
