SUMMARY:Heat Illness\, California Regulations and the Kitchen of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW)\, Southern California Edison\n2 CEUs available \nDescription: \nThis 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. The second half of the class provides training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dishrooms. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nAppraise an employee’s indoor heat illness risk and communicate a plan to come into compliance with the CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations\nExplain how to reduce the ambient heat in a kitchen environment through equipment choice and ventilation optimization\nEmploy corrective techniques to reduce water waste in commercial kitchens and dishrooms.\n\nSpeaker:\nRichard Young\, Director of Educatioln\, Frontier Energy’s\, Food Service Technology Center \nTo register\, contact Gwen Yamasaki at gwen.yamasaki@sce.com or\n626.812.7566.

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.
