Commercial Food Service Equipment

ENERGY STAR certified commercial kitchen equipment helps cafe, restaurant, and institutional kitchens save energy by cutting utility and maintenance costs without sacrificing features, quality, or style. Saving energy helps save money on utility bills and protect the climate by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Outfitting a commercial kitchen with a suite of commercial food service equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR could save operators about 350 MMBTU/year, or about $4,000/year.  Design an Energy Efficient Restaurant or Commercial Kitchen (PDF, 5.4 MB).
