SCS Engineers is excited to participate in the 2025 IIAR Natural Refrigeration Conference & Heavy Equipment Expo—the largest event dedicated to the natural refrigeration industry. This conference offers a unique platform for attendees and exhibitors to connect, learn, and showcase the latest advancements in natural refrigeration.
Join Douglas Latulippe at 2025 IIAR for Sustainable Energy Savings Takes an Army as he explores sustainable energy-saving strategies and highlights the collaborative efforts necessary to achieve significant energy efficiency gains. In the pursuit of decarbonization and Greenhouse Gas Emission reductions, cold storage facilities face unique challenges and opportunities in optimizing energy efficiency. Doug’s presentation explores comprehensive strategies for carbon reduction, focusing on tailored Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) and renewable generation. While raising suction pressure is often highlighted as a key EEM, it is not a universal solution for all facilities. Doug will review and discuss the top EEMs, emphasizing a holistic system approach that considers the specific characteristics and requirements of each facility.
Attendees gain insight into the effective implementation of these measures, including improved insulation, advanced controls, and optimized refrigeration system configurations. The presentation will also cover the benefits of integrating renewable energy sources and leveraging data analytics for continuous improvement. By adopting a customized, system-wide perspective, facility managers can achieve significant energy savings and carbon reduction, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient cold storage industry.
Don’t miss Bill Lape’s 2025 IIAR in-depth analysis of the EPA’s new Risk Management Plan (RMP) requirements and his actionable suggestions for compliance during EPA’s New RMP Requirements and Suggestions for Compliance. Over the last several years, the regulatory pendulum has swung so far back and forth that facilities that are covered by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, otherwise known as the Risk Management Program, have often felt as if they were sitting on a Tilt-O-Whirl carnival ride. Bill reviews his paper, Getting Knocked Out by the Pendulum: The 2024 EPA RMP Rule Changes and Strategies for Compliance that will familiarize attendees with the most recent changes that have been made to these regulations and provide them with basic strategies for compliance.
Following a brief history of the regulations in question, attendees are better equipped to understand where the regulations stand today. With the myriad of changes to the RMP provisions and the relatively short timeframe for implementing some complicated requirements prior to their deadlines, it is important for each owner or operator to start the process as soon as possible. Review each new requirement. Identify the party responsible for each section’s update. Create teams to address a requirement, if necessary. Identify the tasks required to complete the requirements to comply with each section. Develop a schedule to complete the tasks. Hold people accountable and reach out for help if progress is stalled. Don’t worry, Bill takes you through it!
