Kitchen Demand Control Ventilation
Wed, Aug 27, 2025 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
Are your kitchen exhaust fans running continuously during off-peak hours between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner? Kitchen Demand Control Ventilation may be the answer if you are looking for a turn-key installation solution at a hospital, hotel, university, prison, or corporate cafeteria.
An expert from the Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas Energy Efficiency Programs and an leading industry expert in kitchen ventilation systems will provide insight into the key features and the benefits of kitchen demand control ventilation.
What is Kitchen DCV?
Most kitchen hoods run at a constant rate during dining hours, regardless of the appliances used. Kitchen Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) systems use temperature or optic sensors to vary the rate of exhaustion, based on the cooking activity. Reduced fan operation and heating and cooling of make-up air help save energy.
Join us for this live webinar and learn about the benefits of Kitchen DCV including:
- Energy use of kitchen exhaust and make-up air units can be reduced by at least 60 percent*
- Custom continuous control over fan speed based on need
- Payback can be achieved within one to five years – based on the hood size and number of exhaust fans
