Supermarkets are among the most energy-consuming commercial buildings. Refrigeration alone accounts for 30-50 % of the total energy consumption of the store. Also, food retail accounts for 1 to 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
With the EU set climate targets for 2030, many responsible retail organizations are switching to climate-friendly refrigeration. The climate-friendly choice allows supermarkets to achieve environmental goals and to comply with future legislation and regulations. The investments are also made thinking of how to reduce energy consumption.
Cooling installations have quite a long lifespan. The choice made on the refrigeration system today will impact the store’s energy consumption for many years. That’s why store owners need to plan at least 7 years ahead and choose their refrigeration systems wisely.
As a future-proof HFC-free refrigeration technology, FREOR offers Hydroloop refrigeration system together with propane-based refrigerated showcases. The solution has shown great results in energy-savings, and our clients are already happy with the outcome of the investment.
Our customers in the Netherlands report significant energy savings:
The Hydroloop system installations were performed by FREOR partner Koelservice van Tol, which is the advocate of green energy-efficient refrigeration solutions in the Netherlands. Commercial refrigeration solutions in those stores account for 60-70 % of overall store energy consumption.
For the store to become more economical, we advise to follow these guidelines when refurbishing the store:
