Summary

Supermarkets are complex buildings where the building structure and components within the building interact with each other. Mathematical models of buildings generally either model the building or the components within the building. To fully understand and optimise a supermarket a model that includes both the building structure and refrigeration systems (display cabinets and cold stores) is required. In this paper, a literature review of building simulation programs for supermarket refrigeration is provided. This paper describes the methodology used to develop a model which has been used to simulate a baseline supermarket. It explains the design criteria utilised to model the services and fabric of a baseline supermarket and the assumptions made in simulating the equipment within the supermarket particularly within the food cooling areas. The energy consumption and carbon emission results obtained from the IES model has been compared to the data collected from a monitored supermarket store.
