Norbec – How To Specify a Custom Walk-In Cooler – (1 CEU)
Course Description​: Walk-in coolers and freezers are not just for restaurants. They’re found in schools, hospitals, food-processing plants, and laboratories. Sometimes a stocked, prefabricated walk-in will suffice, but most coolers and freezers require a custom solution.​ This course will walk you through the specification considerations for a custom walk-in including size, temperature, refrigeration, energy efficiency, floors, doors, and more. You’ll see how each area relates to one another in supporting an energy-conscious and durable walk-in assembly.​ Learning Objectives​: At the end of this course, participants will be able to: ​ Review all components of a walk-in cooler/freezer assembly and how an energy-efficient refrigeration system works.​ Identify all the considerations when determining the size of a walk-in cooler including the products to be stored, shelves and carts, ventilation, and future needs.​ Determine a walk-in’s temperature based on type of products, humidity, usage, and more.​ Acknowledge the importance of the cooler’s insulated panels’ R-value, efficient refrigeration, and controls/monitors to meet or exceed energy-administration requirements. ​ Explain how walk-in panels contribute to LEED v4.​ Address the importance of specifying the right door, floor, finishes, and other considerations Contact Marilou Leclaire for more info - [email protected]
