There is a common misconception that exhaust hoods will always function adequately as long as they’re specified in accordance with their particular UL-listed airflow capacity. Recent research reveals that the type of hood used along with the introduction of makeup air can have a huge impact on exhaust and makeup air ventilation rates.
HVAC technology that’s available today can lower your energy burden and at the same time improve kitchen comfort. This is achieved by maximizing the transfer of outdoor air that’s supplied to the dining area as a contribution to the required makeup air. The installation of a demand ventilation control to kitchen exhaust systems is an appealing strategy that saves on energy costs.
The way ventilation systems work in most commercial kitchens, replacement air is always 100% of the exhaust air. In other words, what goes out must come back in.
One design practice that’s commonly used is to supply a minimum of 80% of the replacement air by use of an independent makeup air unit (MAU) with the remaining approximately 20% of the makeup air supplied by transfer air from adjacent spaces or by conditioned outside air from HVAC units which serve the kitchen. This technique both prevents cooking odors from migrating into the dining area and keeps the kitchen under a negative pressure.
The important point is that there are options outside the norm that are available for making the most of your commercial ventilation system in Burbank. Precise Air Systems is also available to provide a solar energy quote in Burbank as another money-saving venture.
