A study on energy-efficient convenience store.

Author(s) : LEE H., HSIEH W., LIN J. Y., et al.

Summary

The convenience store is one of the most energy-intensive commercial building types in Taiwan, the average annual energy use intensity reach 1757 kWh/m2.year. The number of convenience stores will exceed 8000 at the end of 2005. In recent years, numerous refrigerated open type showcases have been applied in convenience store. This raises the energy consumption of convenience stores. A project was initiated to reduce the trend of rapidly increasing in energy consumption in convenience stores. The target of energy saving was set at 20%. Considering that a convenience store is a complex commercial building where many systems interact, the study uses a simulation model to evaluate some of high efficiency equipment. Energy efficiency measures (EEMs) were the method used to evaluate all the alternatives of the energy saving for convenience stores. A number of field measures were undergoing at the S-K convenience store in order to get data to set up an analytical model as a based case for DOE-2. Factors affected energy consumption in convenience store was discussed. The result shows that reduce EPD of refrigerated equipments is one of the most significant factors that affected energy consumption of a convenience store and the energy consumption of a convenience store, by the implementation of combination EEMs could be reduced 20%.
