Energy Efficiency in the Modern Commercial Kitchen

    2023-07-08 6 min readBy Consulting Team

    The Hidden Costs of Heat

    Traditional commercial kitchens are notoriously inefficient. Gas burners run all day, pouring heat into the room, which requires massive extraction hoods to pull the heat out, which then requires massive AC units to pump cold air back in. #

    Breaking the Cycle

    Transitioning to induction cooking breaks this expensive cycle. Because induction transfers energy via magnetic fields directly to the pan, the ambient air remains cool. #

    Smart Refrigeration

    Older walk-in coolers run their compressors on a binary cycle. Modern systems use variable-speed compressors that draw just enough power to maintain temperature, reducing electrical load by up to 40%.

    Technical FAQ

    Do efficient appliances really save money?

    Yes. While the upfront capital cost is higher, highly insulated equipment uses less electricity and drastically reduces the air conditioning required to keep the kitchen cool.
