The store design by Cold Technology provides similar display area concentrations to Delaware Supermarket's much larger Christina Landing store, while the interior design by Broden Interriors maintain a very consistent look, feel, and interior branding as compared to sister store Christina.
Energy efficient refrigerated display cases were primarily provided by Kysor Warren but also include specialty display cases by Southern Store Fixtures and hot and cold bars by Custom Built displays.
Even with the compressed time schedule and winter conditions, Cold Technology's supermarket design methodology, the concise construction documentation by Ignarri Loomis / BD Engineering, and the supermarket construction expertise of Lynmar Builders managed to hold construction change orders to less than 1/2% of the total project cost.
Cold Technology's integrated design methodology embraces Emerson's "Intelligent Store Architecture" which seamlessly integrates all of the building 's refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting systems into a unified business intelligence and support system.
The DX refrigeration system at Bear represents the state of the art in refrigeration system design which features electronic expansion valve control of all evaporators, ECM fan motors, LED lighting, Copeland Digital Discus compressors and Bohn energy efficient roof top condensers controlled by variable frequency drives.
The HVAC systems at Bear feature DX dehumidification and fully proportional control of the supply fan, economizer, gas fired heating and Copeland Digital Scroll cooling, as well as “Demand Ventilation” to significantly reduce the ventilation load requirements.
Lighting loads throughout the facility are controlled by Cutler Hammer smart breakers eliminating the need for contactors while providing the ultimate in flexibility and precise lighting zone control.
