Energy Efficient Restaurant Equipment

Energy-efficient equipment offers operators the opportunity to lower their overall operating costs. By determining how much money an operator can expect to save is easier said than done. To help simplify matters, new online calculators are available to help members of the foodservice industry estimate the potential annual savings the use of these technologies could achieve in specific situations. One specific example are the Energy Star foodservice calculators, which cover commercial refrigerators and freezers, gas and electric fryers and steam cookers, cabinets for holding hot foods, and vending machines. All of the calculators provide results for electrical energy savings.
The new calculators consist of two pages — one for the calculator itself, and one for the assumptions used for the calculation. With the addition of these new foodservice equipment calculators, there are now 41 Energy Star calculators in alll.


These calculators are available at http://www.energystar.gov
