Setting the Standard for
Sustainability
RLCold is leading the way in sustainability, developing some of the nation’s most advanced and sustainable cold storage facilities. Our team thinks in projects, not buildings, implementing measures that address issues well beyond environmental goals, such as occupant health and well-being, labor retention, and recruitment. Here are some examples of what we’ve implemented and accomplished so far.
Water
- 50k
gallon rain capture tank and low-flow water fixtures
Condensate recapture plumbed to the rain capture tank
Carbon
- 32%
On-site EV car charging
Electric plug-ins for trailer refrigerated united to reduce diesel emissions
Electric plug-ins for trailer refrigerated united to reduce diesel emissions
Electrical/ Renewable Energy
- 32%
improvement in energy performance from various energy-efficient features, such as an efficient thermal envelope, LED lighting throughout the warehouse and office, and 1MW solar system

Cooling
Ammonia/CO2 refrigeration system with adiabatic cooling reduced water requirement by
- 50%
High-reflectance, white TPO roofing and concrete hardscape reduced the heat island effect, minimizing the cooling load of the facility and reducing energy consumption
Environmental
On-site EV car charging
Encouraging development in areas with existing infrastructure
Low-emission sealants, adhesives, and flooring
