• Heat Illness, California Regulations and the Kitchen of the Future

    Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW), Southern California Edison 2 CEUs available Description: This class covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed.
