What's It About?

This was the first in a series of three webinars designed to provide attendees with foundational knowledge about the equipment found in commercial kitchens. For each equipment category, manufacturers and program experts jointly addressed the following:

• How the equipment works
• Efficiency criteria
• What makes one piece of equipment more efficient than another
• Savings potential
• Price differential
• Target market segment
• What to consider when adding the equipment category to your program

What is Ask the Experts?

This event is part of the Ask the Experts series of free workshops presented in webinar format to help new or prospective efficiency program administrators tackle energy efficiency program issues in depth. Hear from top program administrators about how they approached designing effective residential gas heating programs, what worked, and what lessons they learned. The format is both informative and interactive, so be sure to bring your questions.

Who Should Attend?

This session was intended for commercial program planners with no experience in commercial kitchens and program administrators with three years of experience or less in this area. The participation of more experienced program administrators was also welcome to give further insights into the discussion.
