Restaurants are among the buildings with the highest energy and water consumption. But utilities, representing 2% to 6% of the operating cost, are a low priority within the design process due to the lack of “hard” data. The challenge for the designer is to identify efficient technologies that deliver consistent savings that “payback” the incremental cost. Fortunately, energy and water efficiency generally translates to increased performance. The less energy wasted the more available for cooking product! Energy and water efficiency is one of the most practical ways to imbed “green” into the design of a commercial foodservice facility.
