+ | ====== Energy efficiency in cafeterias and commercial kitchens ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Commercial kitchens are one of the most energy-intensive areas of buildings. In addition to cooking, dishes are washed and food is kept cool, all of which requires a lot of energy; in addition, each of these processes creates a lot of internal heat and moisture, which has to be drawn out of the kitchen with sufficiently dimensioned ventilation systems. Energy-efficient kitchen equipment therefore offers benefits in several ways – it saves energy, generally reduces internal loads, and thus allows smaller ventilation units to be used. The topic is especially timely as Germany switches to all-day schools with school cafeterias. \\ | ||

+ | ===== Energy efficiency potential in commercial kitchens ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A wide range of applications contribute to energy consumption in commercial kitchens – which means that there is also a wide range of possibilities for reducing that energy consumption, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition, the type of kitchen ventilation greatly influences energy demand in commercial kitchens. Energy demand can drop considerably if kitchen equipment with reduced extract air demand is used, if kitchen appliances are of the right size, if heat is recovered from extract air, and if the ventilation system has a control system. For detailed approaches, see [[planning: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The technologies already available allow energy demand to be reduced by up to 70 % for all energy applications, | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Kah 2012] discusses the steps in detail. Optimization of each core process was found to be decisive. For instance, if dishwashing is energy-efficient, | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Summary ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is considerable energy-saving potential in cooking. It was shown that proper selection of the cooking process and the thermal optimization of cooking utensils of the right size reduce energy demand to a third of what is common in conventional cooking. Furthermore, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despite moderate indoor air temperatures, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dishwashers with effective technologies to improve efficiency are already for sale. Energy demand is reduced considerably when heat is recovered from wastewater and extract air (vapors). Vapor condensation turned out to be especially interesting because it simultaneously improves indoor air quality and reduces the need for extract air. " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only part of the energy consumed in kitchens is devoted to the actual goals (such as cooking), with the rest being emitted within the room as heat. One interesting synergetic effect of energy-saving technologies is that reducing energy consumption simultaneously provides better air quality by reducing vapors and waste heat. Some kitchen appliances already have solutions integrated in them that simultaneously greatly reduce the need for extract air. The further development of such solutions in kitchen appliances seems crucial for efficient commercial kitchens of the future. \\ | ||
