            • Availability: Cash systems and lighting must be continuously operated
            • Lighting: Specialist and additional lighting to enable sales
            • Customers comfort and security: Customers’ environmental comfort and feeling of security boost sales
            • Energy efficiency for refrigeration:  Refrigeration, the n° 1 process for food retail, is consuming 35 to 50% of the total energy, with little being done to reduce usage and save energy
            • Environmental efforts:  Retailers need to be seen as environmentally friendly by their customers
            • Regulations: Energy regulations strongly develop in more and more countries
            • Energy price optimization: Energy market liberalization leads to centrally purchase for multiple sites & countries
