A Place For Sustainable Culture In Foodservice

Lenny Teller, a specialist with E. Friedman & Associates, discusses ideas for lowering energy use costs in the kitchen, but he does not address refrigeration issues, so we have a couple of additional suggestions.

Lenny’s article in Foodservice Equipment & Supplies online addresses a number of great ways to control energy costs.

While his ideas are great, we want to add inspecting and possibly replacing the walk-in cooler and freezer doors, they could be silently stealing any planned energy savings, and considering upgrades to system conponenets that can pay back in months. Also, if a project is in the design stage, we can consult on energy saving design and equipment specification decisions, and we can help find incentives and rebates offered by government bodies and utilities—some upgrades can be entirely paid for with rebates and incentives, depending on the installation location. Our suggestions also meet the January 1, 2009 requirements of the Energy Independence Act of 2007.

You can read more about our design ideas on the rest of our web site, or give us a call at 1-800-238-4093.
