implement its growth and new store opening plans, MD decided to contact Honeywell for advice. Using its Eco- Effi ciency model, validated by the independent technology consultant Cemafroid, Honeywell undertook a detailed analysis of MD’s sustainability requirements to identify a refrigerant solution that would meet its criteria. After reviewing and discussing the options available, MD selected Honeywell Solstice L40X (R-455A) refrigerant. The analysis revealed that when used in the appropriate refrigeration system architecture, the Honeywell solution, was safe, reliable, fl exible, and could be easily installed and serviced by refrigeration contractors. As a next step, MD, Honeywell and ARNEG – a technology and turnkey solution provider to the food retail industry – decided to implement this refrigerant solution in a 1,500 sqm new MD supermarket in San Giovanni in Persiceto, near Bologna in northern Italy.
Expected results At the MD store in Giovanni in Persiceto, Honeywell Solstice
L40X is projected to support a lifetime cost savings of approximately €260,000 and 25% lower lifetime emissions compared with carbon dioxide as a refrigerant for that store alone.
MD and Honeywell plan to monitor electricity consumption and other performance metrics at the store
as part of a university PhD research project. If the results meet expectations, MD will roll out Solstice L40X to most newly-built and remodelled supermarkets over the years ahead.
So compelling is the
brand’s value proposition that MD is now the
second-fastest growing
supermarket chain in Italy, with 15% year-on-year growth and €3.4 billion in annual turnover.

BUILDING SERVICES FORUM 2024 JUNE 6TH 2024
THE BUILDING CENTRE, LONDON
REACHING NET ZERO TOGETHER THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
The pressure is on to make our buildings fit for the future and the Building Services Forum will focus on the key role of retrofitting as a means to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings.
It is a fact that over 80% of Buildings that exist today will still be in use in 2050, so the Buildings Services Forum 2024 will be exploring key steps where retrofit can help reduce carbon emissions in buildings.
