Other Agricultural Opportunities
Wineries
With nearly 1,600 wineries and vineyards in the Pacific Northwest creating world-class wine, wineries are the fastest growing segment within the agriculture community. Energy-saving enhancements such as lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, pipe insulation, compressed air system upgrades, refrigeration, and strategic use of pump, fan, and compressor VFDs are all eligible opportunities to save energy.
Dairies
With more than 1,100 dairies in the Pacific Northwest, dairies are very keen on keeping their assets at peak performance. Energy-saving enhancements such as lighting upgrades, VFD-driven compressed air, VFDs on pumps, wastewater treatment, heat exchangers and refrigerators are all opportunities to save energy.
Thermostatic Controls
Heaters are often used to prevent freezing conditions in pump houses and stock tanks during cold winter months. Thermostatic controls manager operation of those heaters to ensure they prevent freezing pipes and tanks, and do not operate when freezing conditions have passed.
