WAITSFIELD, VT.—In a gala gathering at Burlington, Vermont’s ECHO Center on April 14, Freeaire Refrigeration was awarded the Green Mountain Environmental Leadership Award in the “What a Great Idea!” category. This inaugural award celebrates environmental stewards and initiatives that have encouraged long-term conservation of Vermont’s rich and diverse natural environment, and is sponsored by Free Press Media and ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center.
Freeaire Refrigeration is an emerging leader in energy-efficiency solutions for commercial refrigeration and has innovatively realized technology that allows cold outside air to be used for cooling.
Freeaire systems greatly increase the efficiency of commercial refrigeration systems and reduce energy consumption by cutting component run-times by 50 to 90 percent. This cuts down on wear and tear, extends system life, and saves energy year round, not just in the winter.
“At Freeaire, we see winter as a natural resource, a source of renewable ‘polar power,’” Freeaire president and founder Richard Travers said. “It’s a simple, functional idea that works great in Vermont and other cool climates. All of us at Freeaire are thrilled to be honored with this important award.”
