Over the recent years, focus on climate change has garnered noteworthy attention. The primary focus of civil engineers today is to design build which are more environmentally friendly. The research paper has been prepared to evaluate the influence of forthcoming climate change on carbon emissions and energy usage in a conventional supermarket at London, Manchester and Southampton. The purpose of research is to quantify yearly energy consumptions, cooling, carbon emissions, as well as heating demand of supermarkets, thus authenticating the temperature rise due to climatic variations. The findings have depicted trends of increasing variation across the country, moving towards the south. The study is the first in scrutinizing climate change’s impact on UK supermarkets by relying on real scenarios.
