How it works

Clean the capacitor, check the joints, leave rear ventilation and avoid accumulating frost, because each of those things increases consumption.

It reduces emissions and pressure on the network by combining efficient demand, clean generation, storage and flexible operation at the right scale.

When does it make sense?

  • After prioritizing demand reduction and efficiency
  • With resource, demand and network connection characterized
  • When safety, maintenance, provenance and end of life are resolved

How to apply it

  1. 1

    Defining what need resolves "freezer maintenance" and establishing a starting situation.

  2. 2

    Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.

  3. 3

    Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits

Lower operational emissions

Greater renewable integration

More resilience and flexibility

Limitations and precautions

  • Access to the condenser and ventilation room depend on the furniture in which the device is fitted.
  • Technology is not sustainable by name: resource, fuel, scale and life cycle matter.
  • Some options are transitioning or only make sense in applications that are difficult to electrify.
