Description
In the United States, almost 200,000 retail food stores operate their refrigeration systems around the clock to ensure proper merchandising and safety of their food products. Supermarkets and convenience stores make the largest contribution to this total (Food Marketing Institute 2004). In U.S. retail food stores, refrigeration consumes about 2.3% of the total electricity consumed by all commercial buildings (EIA 2003). Refrigeration accounts for roughly 50% of the electric energy consumption of a typical supermarket (Arthur D. Little1996).
