A valve that does not close properly can keep the chiller running even when the tank no longer needs cooling.

And sometimes, every degree of flexibility in a setpoint can help reduce cooling demand, as long as it does not affect wine quality.

These are the kinds of practical, operational details we will be discussing at “Energy Solutions and Independence for Wineries,” hosted by Napa Green.

Because energy efficiency in wineries is not only about solar panels, batteries or new infrastructure. It often starts with understanding how the winery is already operating and identifying where energy is being used unnecessarily.

Ahead of harvest, here are 5 adjustments wineries can start reviewing now to reduce unnecessary chiller use and avoid demand peaks.

Our CEO, Kelly Graves, will be speaking alongside Chris Kubik (MCE), Maria Fields (Sprocket Power) and Samantha Childress (Schneider Electric) to discuss practical paths toward lower energy costs and greater energy independence.
