TL;DR: In this article, the ground temperature distribution was recorded for the period between May 2006 and May 2007, at the Athalassa region in Nicosia, where a borehole was drilled and a U-tube heat exchanger made of 32 mm external diameter polyethylene pipe and thermocouples were placed up to the depth of 50 m. All data were recorded using an Omega OMB-DAQ 55/65 USB data acquisition module for a typical day each month at 15 min intervals.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on energy consumption and emissions from each stage of the food sector and outlines approaches and technologies for demand reduction is presented in this paper, which will provide the basis for further refinement of the estimates and development of methodologi...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared three alternative schemes in a medium size supermarket and found that the best scheme for energy and GHG emissions savings is the one where the cooling produced by the trigeneration system is used to condense the CO2 fluid in the refrigeration system to ensure subcritical operation throughout the year.

TL;DR: This is the post-print version of the final paper published in International Journal of Refrigeration, and changes resulting from the publishing process may not be reflected in this document.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the economic and environmental impacts of tri-generation technology compared to conventional systems and showed that the economic viability of these systems is dependent on the relative cost of natural gas and grid electricity.
