3 WHY SUPERSMART 01

4 CURRENT STATUS Systems for efficient and integrated heating and cooling solutions for the retail sector are available BUT: they are not yet implemented to a large extent! R744 systems are the preferred option for new installations as presented by many in the last two days There are non-technological barriers 4

5 REMAINING CHALLENGES How to avoid high investment & servicing costs due to the F-Gas Regulation? How to reduce energy use and related costs for European stores How to reduce the carbon footprint of supermarkets How to find & evaluate European suppliers of NR technology and those able to install and maintain them 5

6 ABOUT SUPERSMART 02

7 ABOUT SUPERSMART SuperSmart is an EU-funded project, under the Horizon2020 EU Innovation Framework Programme Start: Feb 2016, for 36 months SINTEF (coordinator) shecco CNR Umweltbundesamt KTH TU Braunschweig CIRCE Energija doo IIR - France 7

8 ACROSS EUROPE SINTEF shecco TUBS UBA KTH IIR Energija CIRCE CNR The project partners cover (nearly) the whole of Europe: North, Central West, South East, South West = ensures results are applicable to various regions! 8

9 WHO SUPERSMART IS TALKING TO widest-possible outreach to all relevant stakeholders for equipment and building in the food retail sector those making the decisions: food retail chains & supermarket owners, incl. senior management, technical and non-technical staff members those offering & optimising solutions: research, contractors, engineering, HVAC&R systems & components suppliers those setting the frameworks: legislators, industry groups, standard bodies those supporting the cause: associations, consumer goods panels, NGOs. 9

10 THE APPROACH maximise the use of existing physical meeting points: trade fairs, conferences, seminars, in-house training sessions etc. online communication platforms: surveys, software, publication tools, media channels offline communication platforms: print magazines, scientific papers 10

11 AIM 1: IDENTIFY & REMOVE BARRIERS Awareness: people in the supermarket sector are not aware of the different possibilities to increase energy efficiency in supermarkets Knowledge: target groups involved in the choice and employment of efficient heating and cooling solutions in supermarkets often lack the necessary knowledge to operate in the best way 11

12 AIM 1: IDENTIFY & REMOVE BARRIERS Social: resistance to change in various ways, such as technology, planning procedures, collaboration necessary to use energy efficient solutions Organsational: conflicting interests of two or more stakeholders involved in planning or operating a supermarket: who pays for the system is not the same who pays the energy bill Legislation: lack of legislation considering the supermarket system as a whole 12

13 AIM 2: RAISE AWARENESS & PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE Raise the expertise level for eco-energy supermarkets among technical and nontechnical staff members Education & training of supermarket owners/chains, manufacturers, installers, consultants all across Europe Communication & dissemination: through an online information hub, workshops, at trade shows, conferences 13

14 AIM 3: DEVELOP A EUROPEAN ECOLABEL Supporting the introduction of a new European Ecolabel for supermarkets, by developing draft criteria for the label 14

15 AIM 4: MAKE EUROPE S FOOD STORES SMARTER FOOD RETAILERS WILL BE ABLE TO: REDUCE THE ENERGY USE REDUCE THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT INCREASE THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS 15

16 AIM 4: MAKE EUROPE S FOOD STORES SMARTER FOOD RETAILERS WILL BE ABLE TO: USE THE BEST MATURE TECHNOLOGY COMPLY WITH ALL REGULATIONS & ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS SAVE ENERGY, SERVICING & MAINTENANCE COSTS 16

17 THE TOOLS 03

18 BARRIER REMOVAL: SURVEY Survey: to systematize non-technical barriers for efficient cooling & heating respondents can come from all European regions and all areas (end-users, suppliers, contractors, engineering, servicing, research & universities, associations...) online and accessible through mobile devices will be translated into various European languages; potential reach: 50,000+ experts around the HVAC&R sector worldwide 18

19 AWARENESS-RAISING: PRESENTATIONS & BOOTHS Presentations & Booths at leading conferences, trade shows next at Chillventa October

20 AWARENESS-RAISING: NEWSLETTERS, FLYERS, SOCIAL MEDIA E-Newsletters, Flyers & Brochures: regular newsletters and brochures to stay up to date on developments, in national languagues Social Media: visit the partners twitter, LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, Slideshare pages to join the discussion on SuperSmart, using the #supersmart hashtag 20

21 AWARENESS-RAISING: WEBSITE Project website: central meeting point for 1) the Labeling Board incl. 3 Expert Panels; 2) wider public to increase knowledge levels and access all project results project data and information material; download section and education database with most of the content freely accessible; media section with articles, audiovisual content; events listing to know where you can meet the SuperSmart team full version will be launched shortly after ATMOsphere 21

25 EUROPEAN ECOLABEL FOR FOOD STORES Label criteria: developing a list of criteria to obtain the European Ecolabel Product group: suggest appropriate product groups the Ecolabel comprises 25

26 EUROPEAN ECOLABEL ABOUT THE SCHEME Volunary toolto promote environmentally sound goods and services Managed by the EC since 1992 Recognised throughout the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland 32 product groups and 37,000+ products Multi-criteria and life-cycle based approach Criteria referring to the environmental impacts of the product/service as well as the technical performance Criteria are revised every 3-4 years, to follow technological development 26

27 EUROPEAN ECOLABEL IMPACT Soft Instrument : market-oriented instrument in the field of environmental policy Transparent tool: provides guidance to consumers - defining environmentally friendly products/services Voluntary system: is often more flexible than legislation to react to technology & market change Encourages producers and service providers to enter into Green Competition 27

28 EUROPEAN ECOLABEL WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Reducing the environmental impact of products / services often leads to lower costs Communicating the good environmental performance of their products/services with a credible and trustworthy label Demonstrating the company s commitment on environmental issues Preparing for future environmental legislation 28

29 EUROPEAN ECOLABEL FOR FOOD STORES The process is open for active participation from food retailers, component & system suppliers and other stakeholder groups = Labeling Board End User Panel Manufacturer Panel Innovation Panel Register your interest to partipcate at: ecolabel@supersmart-supermarket.org 29
