Supermarkets need careful control of internal temperatures. They need to balance lower temperatures to preserve the food on their shelves, and in chiller cabinets, with the comfort needs of their customers. They need to balance the need for comfort heating in winter and the need for comfort cooling in summer. Most supermarkets are open for long hours, nearly everyday of the year. Many supermarkets have a larger annual cooling load in the summer months than the heating load needed over the winter. Interseasonal Heat Transfer can address these needs efficiently and economically by balancing the needs for heating and cooling within the building, and between seasons by using a Thermalbank to store heat recovered from the building in summer until it can be recycled for heating purposes in winter.
The combined benefits make IHT an attractive renewable energy choice for retail stores, including food retail, aiming for low energy use or aiming to meet Carbon Reduction Commitments.
Interseasonal Heat Transfer is the key to sustainable building by providing solar space heating and natural cooling through one integrated design.
