WHY IS SUPERSMART IMPORTANT ?
• Food retail stores require up to 4% of all electricity
used in Europe.
• Supermarkets cause about 1% of the global
warming in Europe.
Less energy demand  less global warming
• Higher energy efficiency and environmentally
friendly solutions could reduce these problems.
• We will promote the fast implementation of
energy efficient heating and cooling solutions for
the food retail sector
