Deep Energy Reduction Supermarket

One of SCE's large supermarket customers is planning a remodel and expansion of an existing store in Carpentaria. The new store will be built with a goal of achieving 50% energy savings over a code-compliant building (ASHRAE 90.1 baseline). This will be achieved through inclusion of a variety of measures including: tight building envelope, daylighting, efficient lighting, efficient refrigeration system design, etc. Renewable energy generation may also be included to gauge ability of supermarkets to reach ZNE. Additionally, natural refrigerants will be used to lessen overall environmental impacts caused by leakage. This ET Assessment will fund the instrumentation and monitoring of performance of both the existing and new store.
