Seminar 40 -- Market Transformation of DCV Systems for Kitchen Ventilation
This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.Commercial kitchens have the largest energy intensity (usage per square foot) and can exceed any other building segment by an order of magnitude. Of the largest components of the energy use in a kitchen is the HVAC component which consists of the large exhaust hoods along with the energy required to treat the replacement air. By applying demand control ventilation (DCV) systems on the cooking equipment lineup with the exhaust hoods, large energy savings can be obtained. This seminar presents an overview of DCV systems, a case study of energy savings that can be obtained with DCV systems, a description of a field protocol for evaluating the performance of DCV systems, and field challenges that these systems encounter. 40-1 DCV Technologies for Commercial Kitchens: Past, Present and Future!
