Inacted as of January 1, 2009 the “Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.” Section 312 states that all new walk-in coolers and freezers manufactured and installed in the United States with a floor area of less than 3,000 square feet must include flexible PVC strip doors or spring-hinged doors(1). This new Federal Law is aimed at improving energy efficiency, since typical food service operators spend up to 20% of their entire energy bill on refrigeration.

The United States Government is working hard to improve efficiency in coolers and freezers. Research shows that strip doors and swinging doors, along with better insulation and more efficient motors and defrosters can cut energy consumption up to 55%! A recent study by the Consumer Energy Advisor found that strip curtains on a 240-ft2 walk-in refrigerator reduced energy consumption by 3,730 kWh per year—about 9 percent of total energy consumption(2). Curtron’s lines of strip doors and swinging doors guarantee increased cooler and freezer efficiency.
