Save Money, Improve Operations
Today’s refrigeration professionals strive to improve operations, safety, and the bottom line at their facilities. By making energy-efficient upgrades, site operators and managers alike can achieve these goals, as well as saving on both operational and capital equipment costs. Most upgrades are low - or no-cost, and many are easy to complete – some even improve the quality of the workplace, support career development, and enhance a facility’s competitive advantage with supplier contracts.
Certified Refrigeration Energy Specialist (CRES)
CRES is offered by the Refrigerating Engineers and Technicians Association (RETA) and is an energy efficiency certification for industrial refrigeration professionals. The certification is made up of two parts: an exam covering operations, safety, and energy-efficient refrigeration practices, and the required completion of energy efficiency activities at each facility.
