SANYO GREEN Justification
Patented V.I.P.
®
Insulation Increases Interior Volume
By As Much As 25%
SANYO patented V.I.P.
®
Vacuum Insulation Panel technology
and high-tech, thin profile cabinet walls increase interior
volume by as much as 25% for high density storage in a
minimal cabinet footprint (Chart 6). Cellular wall construction
combines vacuum insulation with polyurethane foam for
structural stability and highest insulation values while reducing
wall thickness by as much as 50% over conventional methods.
Ultra Low Freezer Case Study
In June 2008, a green justification study was conducted for
a major research university that instituted key sustainable
directives in their procurement process. This study examined
several key areas that focus on energy efficiency and
sustainable design including: annual CO
2
emissions, life
cycle operational and facility HVAC costs. The study showed
operational and energy savings for SANYO ultra low freezers
when compared to other brands. The following graphs show
the energy savings, which is then translated into cost savings
and CO
2
savings per year.
