ICE can save energy.
Just ask Lisa Fedick, the manager of the Wonderland of Ice skating rink in Bridgeport. She wanted to lower Wonderland''s energy consumption and learned that one way she could accomplish this was by replacing the rinks's Zamboni - the resurfacing machine that scrapes up used ice and makes new ice with hot water. Their old machine was putting too much water on the ice. That had a detrimental effect on energy use. She chose the latter because it offered several unique advantages.
