Title: Energy efficiency in commercial kitchens
Description: Commercial kitchens are large users of gas, water and electrical energy, and can leave a large carbon footprint. It is estimated that the total energy consumption of Britain's catering industry is in excess of 21600 million kWh per year. This publication has been prepared jointly by CIBSE and the Catering for a Sustainable Future Group (CSFG) to provide industry-specific guidance and advice for kitchen designers, specifiers, installers, managers, operators, owners, and contract caterers in hotels, pubs, restaurants, business and industry, and all commercial kitchen facilities on sustainability, and how to reduce the amount of energy used. This in turn reduces the size of the kitchen's carbon emissions and its running costs. This publication is not intended as a guide to commercial kitchen design, but aims to provide comprehensive and practical advice on energy saving measures that can be included in large and small kitchen operations, as well as providing benchmarks in terms of energy cost per meal. This publication does not advise on sustainability of the food supply chain. --
