R23 -- Refrigerated-Facility Design (I-P)
Refrigerated facilities are any buildings or sections of a building that achieve controlled storage conditions using refrigeration. Two basic storage facilities are (1) coolers that protect commodities at temperatures usually above 32F (0C) and (2) low-temperature rooms (freezers) operating under 32F (0C) to prevent spoil-age or to maintain or extend product life.
