Dairy Design Assistance

Let our energy efficiency experts help you with your project when building or re-designing your dairy. Working along side you we can help you to take full advantage of all the energy savings opportunities available. Rebates are based on exceeding new construction requirements for standard building systems and exceeding industry standard practice baselines for process systems.

Rebates are available for energy efficiency upgrades, including:

  • Fans – High efficiency or high volume/low speed ventilation fans can save up to 85 percent of the operating costs of standard models.
  • Variable Frequency Drives – Vacuum systems with variable frequency drives can save between 40 and 80 percent of the pumping costs of a standard system.
  •  Premium Efficiency Motors – Using premium efficiency motors on equipment with long operating hours can result not only in savings on energy consumption, they can offer reduced vibration and longer bearing life increasing reliability.
  • Lighting – Maximizing the effects of natural lighting coupled with high-efficiency fixtures and lighting controls can reduce your energy usage substantially.
  • Refrigeration Systems – Designing parallel systems, using over-sized condensers, high efficiency compressors, variable frequency drives and floating head pressure can result in savings on your energy bill.
  • Compressed Air Systems – Avoiding the use of compressed air where alternatives are possible is one consideration our experts will consider when evaluating your design. In addition, modulating compressors with on/off controls, staging compressors and minimizing system pressure could be indicated in your project.
