SUMMARY:Advanced Hot Water: Heat Pump Water Heater Design\, Performance\, and Environmental Health Implications for Commercial Foodservice
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Frontier Energy\, Food Service Tech Center\, PG&E and California Energy Wise (CEW)\n1.5 CEUs available \nAs more commercial kitchens transition to all-electric operations—whether driven by code requirements or operator preference—Environmental Health Professionals are increasingly asked to evaluate emerging hot-water technologies. This session explains the fundamentals of heat pump and electric-resistance water heating\, and compares the benefits\, limitations\, and performance considerations of each technology. Participants will learn practical guidance for determining when Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWHs) are appropriate for limited-service commercial kitchens and how to evaluate them in the absence of detailed Environmental Health guidelines. \nLearning Objectives: Participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the basics of heat pump water heaters and resistance water heaters.\nApprove a HPWH for use in limited-service commercial kitchens\nAccess additional resources that explain optimized hot water systems design.\n\nTo register\, click link – Seminars – California Energy Wise

SUMMARY:Reverse Osmosis System Fundamentals for Foodservice Consultants
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Aqua-Pure Water Filtration (Solventum)\n1.25 CEU available \nWater quality plays a critical role in the performance\, longevity\, and output quality of\nfoodservice equipment but knowing when and how to apply the right filtration solution isn’t\nalways straightforward.\nThis session is designed to give foodservice consultants a foundational understanding of\nreverse osmosis (RO) and its role in commercial kitchen design. We’ll walk through\ncommon water-related challenges\, clarify misconceptions about RO\, and provide practical\nguidance on when RO is—and is not—the right solution.\nAttendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to evaluate water conditions and\nconfidently recommend appropriate filtration strategies that support both equipment\nperformance and overall guest experience. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to:\n• Identify common water-related issues that impact foodservice equipment and\noperations\n• Explain how reverse osmosis works and what it removes from water\n• Distinguish between RO and other filtration approaches\n• Recognize common misconceptions about RO and its application\n• Evaluate when RO is appropriate—and when alternative solutions may be more\neffective\n• Apply a balanced\, solution-oriented approach when recommending water treatment systems \nTo register\, contact Kimi Abdullah at kabdullah@solventum.com

SUMMARY:From Manual to Modern: Enhancing Traditional Culinary Processes Through Advanced Kitchen Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Frontier Energy\, Food Service Tech Center\, PG&E and California Energy Wise (CEW)\n1.5 CEUs available \nThis course explores how advanced kitchen technologies can enhance traditional culinary processes to deliver higher performance\, streamline labor\, and increase profitability. Participants will be introduced to the capabilities of smart tilt skillets\, blast chillers\, vacuum-sealing tools\, and modern holding technologies with an emphasis on how these solutions complement established methods while improving consistency and workflow. The course will also demonstrate how these technologies facilitate food safety\, expand production\, and create new revenue opportunities. \nLearning Objectives: Participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the core functions\, capabilities\, and benefits of smart tilt skillets\, blast chillers\, vacuum-sealing tools\, and modern holding technologies.\nIdentify how these technologies enhance food safety\, support labor savings\, and improve menu flexibility.\nEvaluate the energy and water efficiency considerations for each technology\nAssess appropriate applications\, sizing requirements\, and integration strategies for diverse foodservice environments—from K-12 and healthcare to full-service and high-volume operations.\nApply best practices for selecting\, operating\, and maintaining these technologies to maximize performance\, labor efficiency\, and overall return on investment.\n\nTo register\, click link Seminars – California Energy Wise

SUMMARY:Applying and Specifying Reverse Osmosis Systems in Foodservice Projects
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Aqua-Pure Water Filtration (Solventum)\n1.25 CEUs available \nSpecifying the right water filtration solution goes beyond understanding the technology\, it\nrequires the ability to evaluate real-world applications\, size systems correctly and account\nfor operational and cost considerations.\nIn this session\, we’ll build on foundational knowledge and focus on how to apply reverse\nosmosis (RO) in real foodservice environments. Attendees will learn how to choose and\nsize the right system based on equipment demand\, avoid common specification mistakes\,\nand incorporate RO effectively into project designs.\nThis session is designed to provide practical\, project-based guidance that helps consultants\nconfidently specify solutions that align with performance needs\, operational efficiency\, and\nlong-term value.\nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to:\n• Evaluate when RO is the right solution for specific foodservice applications\n• Assess equipment water demand and translate requirements into system sizing\n(GPD and storage)\n• Identify common mistakes in RO system selection and specification\n• Compare key considerations such as scalability\, efficiency\, and installation\nconstraints\n• Estimate the operational and maintenance costs associated with RO systems\n• Navigate tools (e.g.\, KCL) to research and incorporate appropriate filtration solutions\ninto project specifications \nTo register\, contact Kimi Abdullah at kabdullah@solventum.com.
