Abstract
This research focuses on energy-related initiatives implemented by one big-box retail chain in Canada. Through analysis of energy reduction strategies, the study compares the energy performance of two stores (an original store and its replacement store) adjacent to each other at the same location. One of which operated with conventional design features and the other operated with energy-reducing upgrades. The results of this research conclude that the store constructed with advanced technological solutions outperformed the original store in terms of energy-use intensity by 44%. The main energy reductions were achieved through alternative electrical strategies (primarily lighting) (39%) and alternative space heating strategies (61%). The research also reveals that premium costs related to the advanced technologies were effective choices.
