Supermarkets are very energy intensive buildings resulting in a large carbon footprint that needs to be addressed。Demand reduction measures are not sufficient，since even after intensive actions have been taken，the remaining footprint is still significant。Therefore，comparative technology frameworks that focus on the energy supply side are necessary in order to reduce carbon emissions。These frameworks need to be straightforward as decision makers generally lack engineering expertise。This paper focuses on depicting the various challenges low carbon technologies need to overcome to be successfully applied in supermarkets while also identifying core technologies that can deliver sustainable supermarkets today。A review of multiple technologies is presented and graded according to standard criteria。A generic UK supermarket is used to describe the different store services and to characterize energy load profiles which explain the complex relationship between electricity and heat requirements the building has throughout a year。A business as usual store design is presented to benchmark current key performance indicators(KPIs)concerning emissions，capital and operational costs; these KPIs can be used by decision makers when considering the implementation of low carbon technologies。Results of the analysis indicate designing and delivering a zero carbon supermarket is possible，however careful detail must be dedicated to address multiple issues that come along with project implementation; such as the manner in which the energy systems should be operated or potential hazards to customers or employees。Useful guidelines on how energy technologies can complement each other are included。Overall，defining the technologies going into a sustainable building is just one step towards achieving a zero carbon supermarket，nonetheless it is its most critical stage，where trade-offs are assessed and priorities are given to guarantee the success and longevity of such ambitious projects。
