Keep it cool Research undertaken in 2010 on cooling and refrigerating in supermarkets in the Netherlands has shown that the energy being wasted by open refrigerating and cooling units equals that of the usage of 175000 family homes (in the Netherlands alone). Supermarkets have been the only industry with growing revenues and profits during the latest economic recession. It is my believe it is unacceptable to allow such waste to occur if conditions are warranting improvement. It is my intention to gather as much support as possible to persuade the industry in any way possible to address this matter. At the same time many products which do not require cooling or refrigerating are being displayed in cooling devices and cooled merely for marketing purposes It is my believe it is unacceptable to allow such waste to occur. If you feel similar issues exist in your part of the world please feel free to contact me to combine our efforts to stop this waste. Many organizations operate on a global scale, the waste surely effects all of us so it is therefor I ask for your support. If we keep it cool, we make it better. Peace Synthetic Therapy |

I have written to the major players in the supermarket industry in the Netherlands asking them to state their policy on these matters. I will post the letter online shortly. Any reply will be posted when received. Please spread the word. ST |

Ever since i was a little kid I always thought that was a very dumb idea… open fridges… apparently they are trying to refrigerate the whole store. |

Refrigerators waste energy, this energy is turned into heat, this is used to heat up the store, where is the waste? |
|

@steven in a perfect world And yes there are great results being achieved with usage of both, everyday reality however But if you have a revolutionary plan to turn that around i would kindly ask you to enlighten me ;) Peace and please support http://www.amof.nl |

What do you mean in a perfect world? The energy doesn’t disappear, waste energy is virtually always heat. Supermarkets ar artificially heated, therefore energy ‘waste’ from refrigerators contributes to this heating and is not truly wasted. |

@ steven The solution is simple and cheap the benefits are great, but if u you feel that the situation as it is today is fine, you are free to do so. I just hope this is not the case. Peace and please support http://www.amof.nl |

Update @ http://www.amof.nl Jumbo Supermarkets responded with a press release stating that by the end of 2014 cooling and refrigeration equipment will be closed and covered. The document is in Dutch and I have requested a copy in English which I will upload upon arrival. This course was set by Jumbo end 2010 so I had nothing to do with it ;) but still good to know. Peace |

You see Steven, the heat is pumped out into the air and warms the open-air refrigerator, which makes it have to cool itself extra. |
