Abstract:This study aims to model and evaluate the energy performance of a supermarket located in Guayaquil, Ecuador. For this purpose, we modeled the baseline of the supermarket using EnergyPlus software. All input parameters used in the simulations were provided by the supermarket staff. Air-conditioners and refrigerated cases were modeled using the default templates in EnergyPlus but replacing the specifications of the site systems. The baseline model predicted, within ±10%, the energy consumption of the case study … Show more
