HOW WAS YOUR SUMMER?
Retailers Faced One of Hottest Summers on Record As we wrap up one of the 10 warmest summers on record, retailers who might be asked "How Was Your Summer?" are most likely to answer "terrible" According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the summer of 2010 was actually the 4th warmest on record - dating back to 1895. Only 1934, 1936 and 2006 were warmer. All the record heat meant that retailers' HVAC systems had to work harder and more efficiently to keep customers cooled. And, the heat meant increased energy costs. The scope of energy usage during the hot summer months means the scale of wasted energy was up a considerable amount. While retailers may be breathing a sigh of relief that a long hot summer is coming to a close, the bad news is that unless the retailer demands more from their HVAC professional, the 2010 statistics are likely to be repeated or increased next summer.
