4 SUPERSMART MAP 4

5 WHY IS SUPERSMART IMPORTANT? Supermarkets require up to 4% of all electricity used in Europe. Supermarkets cause about 1% of the global warming in Europe. Less energy demand less global warming Higher energy efficiency and environmentally friendly solutions could reduce these problems. We will make supermarkets start using efficient heating and cooling solutions QUICKLY so that less harm is done to the environment. 5

6 MAIN OBJECTIVES 1. Remove non-technological barriers to efficient heating & cooling in the European food retail sector 2. Raise the expertise level for energy-friendly supermarkets among technical and non-technical staff members, through promotion and training 3. Support the introduction of a new EU Ecolabel for food retail stores, by developing draft criteria for such a label 6

7 PROJECT STRUCTURE WP2: REMOVING NON-TECHNOLOGICAL MARKET BARRIERS 1. Find and remove barriers to SuperSmart supermarkets 2. Make information, training material and training sessions about efficient heating and cooling solutions 3. Make supermarkets able to achieve the future label WP3: DEVELOPMENT OF EU ECOLABEL 1. Make a proposal for an EU Ecolabel for supermarkets 2. Make two reports to back up the proposal 3. Suggest how the label could be developed together with project partners WP4: COMMUNICATION, PROMOTION & DISSEMINATION 1. Ensure good communication with everyone involved, including non-project partners 2. Spread information about SuperSmart 3. Tell the public about the project results 7

8 SUPERSMART HELPS FOOD RETAILERS TO: Use the best mature technology Comply with all regulations & environmental commitments Reduce the energy use & negative environmental impact Increase the economic benefits by saving energy, servicing & maintenance costs 8

9 HOW TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECT GOALS? Developing training material Educate by execute training sessions Arrange Workshops Involve Experts..and make criteria for an EU Ecolabel for food retail stores 9

10 TRAINING MATERIALS 8 reports in energy-efficient food retail stores launched in 2016/2017: 1. Mapping and segmentation of barriers & description of supermarket sector 2. Eco-friendly supermarkets- an overview 3. How to build a new eco-friendly supermarket 4. How to refurbish a supermarket 5. Computational tools for supermarket planning 6. Eco-friendly operation and maintenance of supermarkets 7. EU Ecolabel for food retail stores 8. Development of the EU Ecolabel Criteria for Food Retail Stores 10

14 WORK WITHIN THE SUPERSMART PROJECT Criteria development Follow-up Feb. Feb. Start of Preliminary Report Technical Report End of Product group proposal 14

15 INVOLVEMENT OF SUPERMARKET STAKEHOLDERS Letters of Support for the project proposal: 26 (inter alia 3 retailers, 1 retailer association) Respondents to 1 st survey on scope and definition: 144 (88 complete) (inter alia 13 food retail chains) Respondents to 2 nd survey on criteria for HVAC&R: 131 (40 complete) (inter alia 27 food retail chains, 1 single food store operator) Participants in SuperSmart Workshops Trade fair visitors at SuperSmart booths Expressions of interest via SuperSmart website Personal contacts of the partners 15

16 FIRST DELIVERABLE: PRELIMINARY REPORT Content: 1. Product Group Scope and Definition 2. Market Analysis 3. Technical and Environmental Analysis 4. Improvement Potential Areas Available on: 16

17 RESULTS FOR DEFINITION AND SCOPE Definition: Food retail stores include all store formats in the retail trade with at least 50% of annual turnover for groceries, except those specifically excluded. Scope: INSIDE Supermarkets Self-service food stores and markets Food discounters Hypermarkets Self-service warehouses Convenience stores OUTSIDE Wholesalers Web shops Cash-and-carry beverage shops Caterers Restaurants and hotels Kiosks Cafeterias Hospitals Nursing homes 17

18 RESULTS OF MARKET ANALYSIS Numbers for food retail and food services in EU in 2012 Generated value: million Euro Enterprises: 2.8 million (10 retail chains accounting for 31 % market share) Employees: 17.3 million (7.5% of total workforce) Number of stores in European countries: 18

19 RESULTS OF LIFE CYCLE STUDIES Life cycle stages for retail stores 19

20 RESULTS OF LIFE CYCLE STUDIES Case study #1: Supermarket in the UK opened in 2010, data from 2012 single-storey building construction with steel structure, 1824 m 2 sales area condensing gas boiler, indirect R404A/CO 2 refrigeration units use stage: highest impact along the life span of the building (91 %) manufacturing of the building materials responsible for 9 % Primary energy consumption of the supermarket (life span 15 years) Primary energy consumption in the use stage 20

21 RESULTS OF LIFE CYCLE STUDIES Case study #2: Food discounter in Germany opened in 2010, data from 2012 stand-alone, single-storey building with timber frame, 1103 m 2 sales area Nearly Zero Energy Building, transcritical CO 2 packs, heat recovery, heat pump impact of the manufacturing stage is more pronounced (23%) due to low energy consumption in the use stage high embodied primary energy and GWP of the roof construction keep the manufacturing stage s primary energy consumption and GWP values high Primary energy consumption of the food discounter (life span 15 years) Primary energy consumption in the use stage 21

22 RESULTS OF LIFE CYCLE STUDIES Comparison Operational Use Primary Energy Consumption 22

23 RESULTS OF LIFE CYCLE STUDIES Best practices related to LCA INSTALLATIONS AND FACILITIES: Priority Best Practice Use of natural refrigerants Reduction of refrigerant charge and leakages High efficiency equipment Monitoring and management systems Renewable energy systems LIFE SERVICE Priority Best Practice Accomplish design building s life span (min. 50 years) BUILDING FEATURES: Priority Best Practice Reduce roof surfaces Avoid stand-alone buildings in order to reduce the surface of outer enclosures and dispense with roofs Have preference for non-asphalt-based materials, (such as EPDM) Reduce height of spaces Contribute to natural lighting Environmentally friendly materials Reduce thermal loads from the outside focus for EU Ecolabel criteria to be developed within the SuperSmart project 23
