Tim Smallwood of FCA Foodservice Consultants discusses how to reduce energy use and improve sustainability in commercial kitchens. He outlines several areas where energy can be reduced, including refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, ventilation, and more. For each area, he provides specific strategies like installing better insulation, using more efficient equipment like induction cooktops, implementing water recycling technologies in dishwashers, and adopting cleaning technologies that use less chemicals and water. Adopting these strategies can help save on energy costs while creating a more sustainable and safer environment.
