Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation

Reduce energy costs with this turnkey kitchen upgrade

In a typical commercial kitchen, exhaust fans run at constant speeds—even when cooking isn’t taking place. This can result in over-ventilation, wasted energy, unnecessary fan wear-and-tear and a noisy environment.

By installing high-efficiency demand control kitchen ventilation (DCKV), you’ll reduce energy costs immediately.

Why upgrade?

What you need to know about DCKV systems

Ventilation is the single biggest energy user in commercial kitchens—a big opportunity to save.

DCKV uses advanced sensors and variable-frequency drives to detect temperature levels, vapour and smoke, adjusting the airflow to respond to real-time energy needs. This reduces energy use and saves money.

Here’s how much past participants are saving today

Kitchen ventilation systems were running constantly at these restaurants—at least 15 hours a day, 365 days a year. By installing DCKV, they reduced energy use and improved comfort for staff and customers.

“Without incentives, we wouldn’t have made the upgrades. Not only did Enbridge Gas provide financial support, the whole participation process could not have been easier.”

* Payback and savings will vary by project. Commercial kitchen demand-controlled ventilation system with rated capacity not greater than 15,000 CFM, consisting of sensor(s) that determine the level of contaminant in the exhaust air stream, a controller that processes inputs from the sensor(s), and variable frequency drives that receive a signal from the controller and modulate the exhaust and make-up air fans to optimize flow rates. For retrofit, must replace existing constant volume kitchen exhaust hood. The building must be equipped with make-up air (MUA) fans and utilize natural gas for space heating.
