Kitchens Energy use in restaurants and industrial kitchens can be divided into 5 categories, and energy is consumed in those areas in these proportions: The energy used for “food prep” is natural gas, while the other 4 activities use electricity.
Kitchens: Weekday Total energy peaks at the lunch rush, and dies back down when food is no longer served Food prep, HVAC, and Sanitation are the most variable, and high energy consumers.
Kitchens: Weekend Energy usage is much lower on the weekends than during the week. Peaks still occur at traditional meal times, but they aren’t as high.
