Danfoss recently hosted its 20th EnVisioneering Symposium, “The Climate and Energy Nexus in Commercial Refrigeration,” in Baltimore. Participants included commercial refrigeration OEMs, supermarket chains, contractors, utilities, regulators, and industry associations addressing issues on refrigeration driven by shifts in technology, policy, and international negotiations.
James Boyle, senior vice president of electronic controllers and services at Danfoss, opened the symposium, stating, “The confluence of trends such as increased regulatory pressure, ever-increasing energy costs, contractor training, and consumer pressure on sustainability illustrate that we are in the midst of a shift in how supermarkets and commercial refrigeration equipment used in all food services are designed, built, and installed.”
