A professional kitchen is an energy-intensive activity.
Asking for energy-smart system choices when designing a catering kitchen can have a considerable impact on the total energy consumption of the kitchen and reduce losses. User behaviour is an additional factor that can have some effect on the energy consumption of a kitchen.
The National Agency for Public Procurement's sustainability criteria cover industrial kitchen equipment within the following subgroups:
- Boiling pans
- Dishwashers
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Ovens, cookers and griddles
- Catering equipment
The sustainability criteria can be used when procuring individual pieces of equipment or when building a new industrial kitchen or renovating one. For criteria that apply to the actual construction work of the industrial kitchen, see the procurement criteria for construction and property.
When procuring industrial kitchen equipment, it is important to review the needs of the kitchen in order to ensure that the correct equipment is purchased.
To optimise use of the equipment, kitchen staff need to be trained in their use.
In addition to the subgroups mentioned in the sustainability criteria, there are also things like multifunctional cooking centres that can be used for many different types of cooking, such as deep frying, pressure cooking and shallow frying. These can save space in small kitchens.
