We are proud to announce that Elias Eid from London South Bank University (LSBU) won the prestigious Ted Perry Award for Student Research for his research on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the retail sector in Europe. Elias works with ENOUGH technology roadmaps, focusing on understanding how supermarket systems across Europe can decarbonise to reach net zero targets. He has carried out detailed modelling work (using EnergyPlus) to understand the interactions between selected technologies and the food refrigeration systems, HVAC, building structure and ambient conditions in 6 European countries with varied energy sources and baseline conditions. The Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) judges described his work as “research that could make an immediate impact on the retail industry, resulting in significant savings over the coming five to ten years through some simple steps that are available now.”
Elias Eid was presented with his award at the IOR Annual Dinner in February. Congratulations!
