This study aims to compare the energy consumption of a supermarket according to field measurements and results from building’s simulation software. Additionally, measures of energy efficiency to minimize the energy intensity of the supermarket are investigated. For such purpose, an ICA MAXI hypermarket in Bålsta, Stockholm, with a total conditioned area of 6570 m2 has being under analysis. This hypermarket operates with a trans-critical CO2 booster refrigeration system, which allows to recover the heat taken out from the refrigeration cabinets to warm up the sales area, when necessary and the only energy source it uses is electricity. Ground source energy storage is used to store part of this heat and enable an effective space heating and d...
