The project will consist of an assessment of energy and non-energy impacts of moderate-low GWP refrigeration design on three newly constructed supermarkets. Each of the supermarkets will be newly opened and operating as of August 2020 with low-GWP (less than 150) and moderate-GWP systems (less than...
