Tesco opens "green" supermarket near Budapest
A new Tesco supermarket in the town of Dorog near Budapest is the second outlet of the international retailer to employ advanced "green" technologies, reports origo.hu
The 1,000-square-meter building uses geothermal pumps to heat and cool the building, drawing on temperature differences between the ground and the soil underneath.
The outlet is the second "green" Tesco to be opened in Hungary. The first, opened in November 2006 in Sátoraljaújhely (Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County), uses solar panels to help save energy, and recycles heat produced by its bakery and refrigerators.
The Dorog store employs roughly 25 people, mostly from the surrounding community.
