On Jan. 18, CEE’s Commercial Kitchens Committee visited the Southern California Gas Company Energy Resource Center in Downey, Calif.
Built in 1995, this LEED-certified building includes a dozen specialty rooms featuring air quality, combustion, climate control, industrial process technology, residential new construction, food service equipment, natural daylighting and natural gas vehicles.
A primary goal of the design and construction of the ERC was to be able to advance energy-efficiency and environmental innovation for others.
Melisa Marks of Southern California Gas provided a tour of the facility, including details about how the center meets the needs of their customers in the food service sector.
Twenty-two participants, representing 10 CEE member organizations, took the tour. Highlights of the tour included hands-on contact with a large array of energy-efficient commercial cooking equipment as well as witnessing actual customer testing of products, such as pizza and pasta preparation.
