Simulation of energy use in UK supermarkets using EnergyPlus
conference contribution
posted on 2016-05-11, 12:45 authored by Henry Witt, Simon Taylor, Kevin LomasKevin Lomas, Rob LiddiardThis paper investigates the interaction between
supermarket heating, ventilation and air conditioning
and refrigeration systems through simulation in
EnergyPlus. This interaction has been studied by
modelling a generic UK supermarket. The impact on
the sum of HVAC and refrigeration energy
consumption due to changes in a range of operating
conditions was studied. These include the effect of
altering HVAC temperature set-points, supply air
temperatures and refrigeration case operating
temperatures on their overall energy use. Optimum
values of the supply air temperature, to minimise
CO2 emissions, delivered by the HVAC system were
found to vary with UK location, with typical values
around 14oC to 16oC.
