Residual energy use and energy efficiency improvement of European supermarket facilities during the post-COVID and energy crisis period

Supermarkets are significant consumers of electricity and contribute to the generation of associated pollutant emissions. This will help to mitigate the impact of increased energy costs on the prices of products sold in supermarkets. Therefore, it is essential to reduce energy consumption, starting...
