Why are grocery store's ceilings so high? |
The Kroger's where I live has a celing which is about 25 feet tall.
If this were reduced by ~30% (and it were 18'), this would cut down on
space heating/cooling.
Why isn't this done?

Because they are buying carbon-credits from Algore.

Heat rises to the ceiling and lamps are located in the
ceiling. Having a ceiling far from the refrigerator cases
may acutally save because refrigeration is ~1/3
of the energy expense.
