Ventless Cooking and HVAC Implications

Thursday, October 20th, 2022
10:00 am - 11:00 am

Ventless equipment allows operators to consider non-traditional locations for a restaurant or foodservice facility, such as historical or high-rise buildings, mall kiosks, and food trucks. Restaurants may consider ventless equipment because they have run out of space under their hood. Or, a coffee house, sandwich shop, or convenience store may want to expand their menu to incorporate hot food choices.

This seminar will describe the different types of ventless equipment on the market, the pros and cons of each, and their proper operation and maintenance.

Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the different types and applications of ventless and countertop equipment.
2. Discuss the impact ventless equipment might have on the restaurant ventilation system.
3. Discuss how ventless and countertop equipment relates to decarbonization and electrification.

Target Audience:
· Foodservice/Restaurant Owners
· Foodservice/Restaurant Operators
· Foodservice Equipment Reps
· HVAC Technicians
