Measure 4

Measure 4: Commercial Kitchen System Efficiency Options The cost effectiveness of demand control ventilation kitchen systems has been studied by the utility, Southern California Edison (SCE), who commissioned a study in 2009 which reviewed five commercial kitchen installations using DCV. The installations were all based on the Melink Intelli- hood system and included installation costs and exhaust fan energy savings only. Air conditioning energy savings were not studied. The installations represented different sectors of the market: smaller quick service restaurants and larger hotel and resort kitchens. The results of their study are used here to justify the cost effectiveness of DCV system as a design option for this measure.
