Improving energy efficiency
Energy efficiency can be improved especially in the cooling equipment used in stores. The freezers in all new K-food stores are fitted with lids, and the use of doors will be increased in other cooling equipment.
Chest freezers fitted with lids save 30-40% energy compared with uncovered ones.
LED technology is exclusively used in new K-food stores’ illuminated signs. The resulting savings compared with traditional neon and fluorescent tube solutions are 60-70%.
Nearly all K-food stores also use condensation heat from cooling units.
We also provide energy-saving advice to our customers at the K-rauta and Rautia stores, and offer products and building solutions that improve energy efficiency.
