Abstract:
This research aims for studying the energy consumption for freezers and the behavior of customers in opening freezer doors in convenience stores by looking for the relationship between the duration of the refrigerator door opening and the energy used. Energy measurement uses a meter to measure the energy compared to the time it takes to open the door. The behavioral study obtained data from observing 60 people who bought products from the freezer. According to studies, it has been found that the daily energy consumption of 1 freezer is an average of 7.73 units / day. The relationship between energy and the time it takes to open the freezer door. Equation Y = 6.4079x + 14.503, which can explain 97% of the data set. The Buyers behavior by opening the freezer door to pick products in various positions within the refrigerator consisting of left position, middle position and right position.
