A supermarket is one of the worlds most inefficient buildings on earth. Refrigeration, lighting, HVAC, etc. This all adds up to a high daily consumption of energy.
In recent years grocers have been paying attention to their energy bills and are looking for the best ways to reduce them. The first step is to change operation practices. Before any retrofitting, a market needs to look at existing equipment and management practices to see what they can do to save energy.
Refrigeration maintenance is a huge energy saver
. Making sure all door closers and gaskets are in proper working order will save a lot in energy. Also, reducing lighting and HVAC units when closed are always a good idea too.
Once the wasteful habits are taken care of, the next step would be to upgrade old equipment with up to date efficient products, such as LED lighting, EMS Controllers, AF-Film, Night Covers, and Capacitors.
Concentrating on lighting and refrigeration efficiency will immediately reduce overall consumption in a store. These are the two biggest contributors to a stores energy bill.
