Webinar: Cool It: How to Create More Comfortable Kitchens

Tuesday, August 18th, 2020
10:00 am - 11:00 am

Many commercial kitchens are uncomfortably hot which leads to unhappy employees and, potentially, increased air conditioning and refrigeration energy use. Traditionally, the food service industry has accepted overly hot kitchens as part of the process, but pending heat-stress regulations and the shortage of cooks means that it is time to lower heat and humidity in commercial kitchens. Fortunately, many kitchen ventilation systems can be improved with some basic optimization techniques coupled with regular maintenance. Also, high-efficiency appliances and heat recovery dish machines can significantly reduce the heat generated in the kitchen. This class will explain the basics of kitchen heat gain, teach you how to optimize and maintain your kitchen ventilation system and explore the heat gain reductions possible with efficient equipment and better kitchen designs.

• How to optimize and maintain their kitchen ventilation systems.
• The sources of heat gain, the current research results from heat gain studies and pending regulations.
• How efficient appliances, better kitchen design and heat recovery dish machines reduce heat gain to the kitchen.
