Take a peak inside this ‘smart’ supermarket to find out how it became energy-self-sufficient

Excess heat from the cooling systems is processed in the tanks to provide space heating for the entire shop.

00:00So, all the excess heat, you know, when you cool, you also create heat and often this

00:16is wasted.

00:17We don't waste heat.

00:19We accumulate all the heat in the heat tanks here.

00:28This is an external meter showing how much we have bought from the district energy and

00:33how much we have sold of heating to the district energy.

00:36It's really 100% we are self-sufficient here with heating.

00:41And it's all heat that would typically be wasted on the roof, out to the birds.

00:55And you see here all the refrigerators and freezers in the store.

01:02The beauty about this is this is a real, realistic test facility because, you know, there are

01:11not two stores that are the same because, you know, everyday customers coming in, some

01:17forget to close the cover, there are new foodstuff put in, so putting additional load on the

01:24refrigeration system and that's what makes it a realistic test facility for us.
