If we want to compare the average SEC values of refrigerators
with the same volume, we can calculate the average annual
energy consumption (“E” in kilowatt-hours per year) and the
average SEC value using the following equations
If the measured SEC of the cold storage is not higher than
the calculated SEC, it indicates that the energy efficiency of the
cold storage is better than that of an average-sized facility.
However, the equations used to calculate the average annual
energy consumption and the average SEC are derived from
regression analysis of survey data, which may not be entirely
accurate and precise. These are preliminary values that show
