We are always interested in saving resources in our operations. If equipment is durable and can stand up to the pressures we put it through, then it just makes sense to choose the ENERGY STAR®-certified models. The incentives are just the icing on the cake on top of the long-term energy savings we’ll achieve.” Scott Lipscomb Environmental Coord. McMenamins Brewpubs and Restaurants
