Description
Notes that commercial cooking equipment exhaust systems have a significant impact on the total energy consumption of food service facilities. Puts the annual energy cost for this in the USA at approaching $3 billion. Points to the significant energy and cost savings achievable by reducing ventilation rates. Documents a preliminary investigation using computer simulations of the effects of using different levels of constant ventilation rates for wall-mounted canopy and backshelf exhaust hoods in quick service gas-electric and all-electric restaurants.
