Summary
To address the growing challenges of energy demand, rising costs and food loss, Danish energy technology company Danfoss has unveiled its new flagship supermarket, the Smart Store, in Nordborg, Denmark. The Smart Store aims to revolutionise the way supermarkets operate in the 21st century using innovative technology and energy-efficient solutions.
The Smart Store showcases a range of energy-saving solutions that deliver significant savings with an average payback period of 3–4 years. The energy-efficient supermarket primarily relies on solar power, with 100kW solar panels installed on its roof, generating green energy to support its operations. The Smart Store also uses advanced heat recovery units to capture and reuse excess heat, resulting in an anticipated reduction of up to 90% in supermarket heating costs. This waste heat is repurposed to warm the store and produce hot water. Any surplus heat is shared with the neighbouring town’s residents through a district heating network.
