Efficiency Programs  

VaCom is a leading delivery partner for all Utility efficiency programs.  VaCom specializes in the delivery of programs involving refrigeration technology in industrial and commercial applications.  Refer to the Efficiency Programs link at the left to read more about VaCom services in this area.  These services, where applicable, are partially funded by the local utility.  See the industry program section of this website for more information on industry programs offered by each utility in California. 

Design and Simulation

Design assistance for retrofit and expansion projects is best performed with a view toward the performance of the complete system.  Our ability to accurately simulate refrigeration performance is key to our excellent design results.  Existing facility efficiency can be measured with VaCom models that use the DOE2 simulation tool.  This allows VaCom to assess the economic benefit of various alternatives. Project design assistance with refrigeration system alternatives, control system options and also lighting and envelop improvements are all part of VaCom's service offering.  More specifics on our simulation methodology and tools can be found under the Design & Simulation link at the left.
