Del
Monte, EETD Join In Energy Saving Demonstration
Food
processing is the third largest user of utility-provided energy
in California. Del Monte Foods, in collaboration with Aimee
McKane and Anthony Radspieler of Berkeley Lab’s
Environmental Energy Technologies Division, has received an
award from the California Energy Commission to demonstrate the
use of waste heat-driven refrigeration technology in cooling
operations in fruit and vegetable processing. A software-based
methodology will also be developed to assess opportunities for
replicating this technology application at other food plant
sites in California, where the multiple benefits of cost and
energy savings along with waste minimization could be realized. |

Advice
on Exercise:
‘The More the Better’
By
Shari Rudavsky
Before
you work out, you may have to do mental gymnastics to
determine how much exercise is enough. Government guidelines
recommend 30 minutes of moderate exercise -- enough
to increase your heart rate but not make you breathless
-- on all or most days of the week. But some insist
these recommendations are too lenient. "The message
has to be the more the better," said Paul T.
Williams, a scientist at Berkeley Lab who has studied
the effects of running on the body. "I think it
sends the wrong message to be saying maybe you don’t
need to be doing all that much." Full
story.
