2 NGrid Small Biz Customer Success Story Syracuse Banana

3 About - Syracuse Banana Frank L. &, Steven Inserra The Syracuse Banana Company started by Frank L. Inserra in 1966 as a banana house. In 1971, the corporation advanced to a produce distribution center selling a full line of fruits and vegetables, prompted by a need in the area for a produce house that carried everything including a variety of processed, herb and gourmet items. Over twenty years ago, a new Inserra joined the company - Frank's son, Steven Inserra the current CEO. Syracuse Banana is one of the largest restaurant and institution suppliers in this area, serving some of the largest restaurant chains in the United States. The warehouse is located just two blocks from the Central New York Regional Market in Syracuse and is available for your inspection at any time. We are a multi-million dollar company supplying over 500 customers daily.

Specifically, Cooltrol ® will provide savings by cycling of evap fans through out the day based on temperature. In addition, the evap fan motors were retrofitted with EC motors(93 motors total) –Results(refer to 12 month bill analysis for kWh savings)

6 Smart Refrigeration Controls are a Key Component to a Green Solutions Program  Systems are sized to maintain temperature on the hottest/most demand day of the year, resulting in excess capacity the rest of the year  Most existing small and medium size coolers and freezers operate at 30-60% efficiency  Poor maintenance and lack of knowledge by end user in understanding how performance and energy relate  Savings are very predictable since refrigeration runs 24/7/365 Why Refrigeration is gaining Recognition for Efficiency Opportunities:
