ABSTRACT
Retail
stores are responsible for large energy consumption, which requires more
intensified action to improve energy
efficiency. Effective energy management can improve energy efficiency in retail
stores. However, it is a challenge to implement energy management in retail
stores due to different stakeholders’
roles and diverse store features. Literally, technical and management
aspects of energy management have received much attention in research. However,
limited studies systemically investigate internal and external factors and stakeholders’ involvement in the
energy management of retail buildings. With multi-cases in the Philippines,
this paper examines the energy profiles in retail stores and develops an assessment for energy management in retail
stores. The assessment includes store features, internal and external
stakeholders, climate, electricity price and grid condition, energy
consumption, and management. The
assessment can assist retail stores to develop their energy management plans
with their store profile.
KEYWORDS
