An energy efficient technology that is available for vending machines is the vending miser. A miser is essentially a device that adds energy sustainability to a vending machine. It comes with an occupancy sensor, a controller, weatherproofing, sensor cable and mounting equipment. A vending miser controls the amount of compressor cycles, and energy use of the vending machine; by the usage pattern of the particular vending machine, which is what the sensors are for.

New HFC-Free Technology Paves The Way for Working Green

Hydro-fluorocarbons (HFC for short) have been used by all kinds of industries for refrigeration and cooling. This technology has been used since the inception of electricity, and mostly was innovated in the 1930's and beyond. The growing problem with HFC technology over the years has been the amount of carbon emissions released by this refrigeration technology. The continual debate over global warming rages on, but global ecologist, and scientists alike have noticed that there are many carbon-emitting technologies we employ; that has caused a marked increase in the amount of carbon we are putting back into the atmosphere.

At this stage of a "global opinion" many companies have realized that need to introduce greener technologies; ones that benefit both the earth, and the manufacturer. Companies that employ green technologies see the benefit in terms of their own business, and the overall image that implementing green technologies could invoke in the consumer. Overall, having an efficient technology, and spreading the word through marketing and advertising is good for a company's image; plus they get the benefit of knowing that they are on the cutting-edge of ecology, environmental and consumer concerns. Not to mention that there are tax, and energy incentives or benefits for a company that does so.
