Energy and carbon intensity benchmarks for the highest revenue retailers’ buildings

Abstract

Table 1 presents the retrieved data about each retailer, namely the variables: revenue rank, operational typology, number of stores, store sales area, energy intensity (EI), carbon intensity (CI) and number of workers. EI and CI benchmarks were calculated for food and non-food retailers, applying Q1 for the best practice, Q2 and Q3 for conventional practice and Q4 for worst practice. Correlations were tested between the variables "EI", "CI" and "retailer revenue". A cluster analysis was performed for food and non-food retailers, applying the variables "EI", "CI" and "retailer revenue"
