Integrated Approach

Energy savings can be realised with various exhaust
hood applications and their associated make-up air
distribution methods. However with analysis the
potential for increased energy savings can be realised
when both extract and supply for the kitchen are
adopted as an integrated system.
The combination of high efficiency hoods (such as
Capture-Jet hoods) and displacement ventilation
reduces the required cooling capacity, while
maintaining temperatures in the occupied space. The
natural buoyancy characteristics of the displacement
air helps the C&C of the contaminated convective
plume by lifting it into the hood.
Third-party research has demonstrated that this
integrated approach for the kitchen has the potential
to provide the most efficient and lowest energy
consumption of any kitchen system available today.
