SUMMARY:Refrigerant Regulations for Foodservice
DESCRIPTION:Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW)\, PG&E\, Frontier Energy – Food Tech Service Center\n1.5 CEU available \nThis presentation will review the latest U.S. federal and California state refrigerant regulations and the prescribed phase-down schedules for high-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerant gases used in small commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems that are typically found in restaurants. Low-GWP alternative gases and systems (Class A2L and A3) and the associated energy implications will be discussed. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nSpecify refrigeration and HVAC equipment that will be in compliance with State and Federal refrigerant and energy efficiency regulations.\nSpecify equipment that uses the most current adopted low-GWP refrigerants.\nUse no-cost\, online\, utility resources to locate energy efficient refrigeration equipment\, calculate ROI\, and receive incentives under the CA Energy Wise Instant Rebates program.\n\nSpeakers:\nAngelo Karas\, Senior Lab Technician\, Frontier Energy’s Food Service Tech Center \nTo register\, contact Kiana Caban\, kcaban@frontierenergy.com or 925.866.2844

SUMMARY:Hot Water Design for Heat Pump Water Heaters
DESCRIPTION:Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW)\, Southern California Edison\n2 CEUs available \nDescription: \nThe California Energy Commission is currently pursuing many programs which are aimed at decarbonizing our energy infrastructure including all-electric cooking\, space heating and water heating. The commercial foodservice industry has started to adopt efficient electric cooking equipment as the first step towards all-electric\, zero net carbon kitchens.\nThis class explains how the foodservice industry can take the most important next step towards zero carbon by addressing one of the biggest barriers: How to replace the traditional gas-fired hot water systems with electric heat pump water heaters. Learn how heat-recovery dishmachines\, effective plumbing design\, and decentralized\, point-of-use water heating are necessary to make heat pump water heaters perform effectively in the demanding commercial kitchen environment. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the water and energy savings associated with heat recovery dishmachines.\nUnderstand the benefits of using heat pump water heaters in commercial foodservice.\nUnderstand how heat recovery dishmachines and heat pump water heaters can make each other cost effective.\n\nSpeaker:\nRichard Young\, Director of Education\, Frontier Energy’s\, Food Service Technology Center \nTo register\, contact Gwen Yamasaki at gwen.yamasaki@sce.com or 626.812.7566.
