Small Business California reports a variety of innovative green equipment features that can help improve reliability, and performance and profitability.

• LED instrumentation lowers heat build-up -- which makes the refrigeration compressor work less and extends life. And reduces energy use.
• Better wall insulation for compressors also extend life of the equipment...etc.
• Better ramp up times on insulated hot food holding cabinets reduces energy use.
• Better door gasket designs improve energy performance and provide longer gasket life. Cost savings.
• Better insulation in ice bins means less melting and water use. Larger bins allow producing ice during off peak times. Energy and cost savings.

Government subsidies and rebates to improve energy performance also help drive innovation. As old equipment is replaced with better equipment, manufacturers are able to afford the cost of continual research and development.

We all work together ... business IS a natural system that benefits from a sustainable flow.
