Moving toward sustainability in refrigeration applications for refrigerated warehouses

My HVAC&R Research editorial deals with refrigeration technology applied to refrigerated warehouses (or cold stores, as we say in Europe). I learned as a student that this topic is one of the oldest and most reliable fields of application of refrigeration technology. Still I am writing this editorial to address new research topics on this kind of plant. My motivation is twofold: social and energetic, that, to some extent, merge together within the framework of sustainability.
