Maximum Daily Energy Consumption (MDEC): Determined in accordance with 10 CFR Part 431 Subpart Q.
You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.
Annual Energy Use: Calculated by multiplying the MDEC for each model by 365 days. Based on a typical 24-ft3-capacity, vertical solid-door refrigerator operating year-round.
Annual Energy Cost: Calculated based on an assumed electricity price of $0.099/kWh, which is the average electricity price at federal facilities throughout the United States.
Lifetime Energy Cost: The sum of the discounted value of annual energy cost and an assumed product life of 12 years. Future electricity price trends and a 3% discount rate are from Energy Price Indices and Discount Factors for Life-Cycle Cost Analysis–: Annual Supplement to NIST Handbook 135 (NISTIR 85--38).
Lifetime Energy Cost Savings: The difference between the lifetime energy cost of the less efficient model and the lifetime energy cost of the ENERGY STAR model or best available model.
Calculated based on the November ENERGY STAR List of Qualified Products; values shown are rounded to the nearest dollar. More efficient models may be introduced to the market after FEMP's acquisition guidance is posted.
Calculated based on current ENERGY STAR efficiency levels; values shown are rounded to the nearest dollar. Federal agencies must purchase products that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR efficiency levels.
Calculated based on ENERGY STAR’s assumption for "Conventional Model."
Products meeting ENERGY STAR or FEMP-designated efficiency requirements may not be life cycle cost-effective in certain low-use applications or in locations with very low rates for electricity or natural gas. However, for most applications, purchasers will find that energy-efficient products have the lowest life cycle cost.
Agencies may claim an exception to federal purchasing requirements through a written finding that no FEMP-designated or ENERGY STAR-qualified product is available to meet functional requirements, or that no such product is life cycle cost-effective for the specific application.

Even though a glass door merchandiser and a glass door reach-in refrigerator might be the same size and look very similar, the biggest difference is in what types of food products they are able to hold.
Merchandising refrigerators and freezers come in a dizzying range of sizes and shapes, from countertop models to large 3 section floor units. Like air curtains, these pieces of equipment are only designed for packaged products. Eye-catching, lighted top sections, bright interior lighting, and exterior color choices are designed to catch customers' attention and help your products look their best.

Convenience store merchandisers look like miniaturized versions of traditional merchandisers. Their lower height and smaller footprint help to increase visibility throughout the store, and maximize space usage in C-stores or other locations where space is an issue.
Glass sided merchandisers are often used for baked goods and show off your freshest products from multiple angles. Some even have revolving shelves.
Wine merchandisers substitute standard wire shelves for racks that hold wine bottles at just the right angle for optimum visibility. They are also designed to maintain the best temperatures for storing wine, so as to preserve the quality and integrity of your stock.
An air curtain merchandiser is one of the most popular styles of food display cases in use. Because they allow customers to easily view and select products like bottled beverages, pre-packaged salads or entrees, without having to open a door, you can achieve great increases in traffic and sales while simultaneously reducing your labor costs. Vertical and horizontal styles are available, both of which come in various sizes and capacities.
An air curtain merchandiser works by circulating air across the front of the unit, keeping the bottle beverages or packaged foods inside at safe holding temperatures. Because of the velocity of the air that moves across the front of the unit, it works as a barrier to reduce temperature exchange between the interior of the unit and the surrounding environment.
Air curtains, like most merchandisers, can't display open (unpackaged) foods, or raw items.
You should always make sure that the products you are putting into your merchandiser are already cold. Air curtains (and most merchandisers for that matter) are not designed to chill warm product to cold temperatures, they are simply for holding already cold products, and keeping them cold.
Because air curtain merchandisers keep their contents cool with a screen of air and are mostly open, where you place the merchandiser is crucial to maximize efficiency, as well as maintain satisfactory and food-safe product temperatures. Most manufacturers make the following recommendations as far as placement:
A night cover is a good option to conserve energy during off-hours. Many manufacturers offer two types: a roll-down cover that primarily keeps cold air in, and lockable, secure types that prevent theft as well as conserve energy.
Ice merchandisers come in both indoor and outdoor models and a range of sizes, and let you easily sell bagged ice. Indoor models are perfect for use inside a grocery store, liquor store, or convenience store. Outdoor ice merchandisers are made of durable materials and are made to withstand the elements for convenient placement outside your business.
When you want to sell bagged ice, an ice merchandiser is a must-have. Customers need bagged ice for many purposes like keeping food cold or chilling beverages, so providing this option at your grocery store, market, or liquor store is a great way to boost sales. Choosing the right merchandiser can help you capture ice sales and make the most of this addition to your business.
