GreenChill Store Certification Program
GreenChill's Store Certification Program for Food Retail Stores is a GreenChill program to recognize individual stores for using environmentally friendlier commercial refrigeration systems. There are three levels of certification that a store can achieve: platinum, gold, and silver.
Any food retail store in the United States, whether in the design phase, newly constructed, or fully operational, can apply for GreenChill’s Store Certification Award. The process is free, quick, and easy.
Step 1: Please read the “GreenChill Store Certification Criteria” below, which gives an overview of the requirements that a store needs to meet in order to achieve platinum-, gold-, or silver-level certification.
Step 2: Please read the short “GreenChill Store Certification Program Guidance.” This document will help in understanding the information required for the application process, and it explains and gives guidance on each question on the application form. If your store uses a combined refrigeration and air conditioning system, please also read the “GreenChill Store Certification Protocol for Combined Systems.
Step 3: Select the appropriate application form for the store in question. If the store is not yet operational, or if it has been operational for less than 6 months, fill out the “Newly Constructed Stores” form. If the store has been in operation for at least 12 months, fill out the “Operational Stores” form. If the store has been in operation for 6-12 months, or if the store is a remodeled store, please contact GreenChill to determine which form needs to be filled out (Keilly Witman: 202-343-9742; or witman.keilly@epa.gov).
Step 4: Fill out the certification form, gather the required attachments, obtain the appropriate signatures, and send the information to Keilly Witman at witman.keilly@epa.gov.
