Supermarket Kitchen Ventilation Control

Commercial kitchen ventilation systems are important equipment in restaurants due to maintain indoor air quality and fire safety. Ventilation systems account for a significant portion of facility energy use, particularly when the energy use of makeup air systems (air conditioning in interior climate zones; heating for some coastal areas) is accounted for. Adjusting ventilation rate based on demand has been proven as a worthwhile energy efficiency strategy in a large institutional kitchen and a full-service restaurant application. This project will implement ventilation demand control in a supermarket food service application where ovens are the predominant equipment.
