Commercial Kitchen and Food Service Equipment

In the United States, food service operations, including restaurants, are nearly four times more energy-intensive than commercial buildings on average. Food service buildings, among all building types, used proportionately more energy for cooking (40%) and refrigeration (15%) of these buildings’ end-use consumption per the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
