Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), PG&E, Frontier Energy - Food Tech Service Center 1.5 CEU available The 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. This 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. Participants will be able to: Describe the water and energy savings associated with heat recovery dishmachines. Understand the benefits of using heat pump water heaters in commercial foodservice. Understand how heat recovery dishmachines and heat pump water heaters can make each other cost effective.

Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), PG&E, Frontier Energy - Food Tech Service Center 1.5 CEU available This class covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed. The first half explains the newly adopted CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations. These regulations are meant to protect kitchen workers but, they also apply to equipment service professionals who might be working in those kitchens. Learn the details of these new regulations, how to help operators lower kitchen temperatures, and how to come into compliance with these laws. Likewise, new California laws require that all water utilities follow strict conservation guidelines in both dry and wet years - which could impact water costs. This class will provide training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dishrooms. Participants will be able to: Appraise an employee's indoor heat illness risk and communicate a plan to come into compliance with the CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations, Explain how to reduce the ambient heat in a kitchen environment through equipment choice and ventilation optimization, and Employ corrective techniques to reduce water waste in commercial kitchens and […]
