Green Kitchens
The Boelter Commercial Kitchen Design team are experts in green kitchen design. We’ll work with you create a custom-tailored commercial kitchen design that is as eco-friendly as it is hard-working. We’ll show you how you can slash the amount of gas, electricity and water you use, as well as exhaust emissions. And while you’re cutting your carbon footprint, you’ll be cutting costs.
These are just some of the ways Boelter Commercial Kitchen Design can help you save money while you’re doing your part to save the environment:
Energy Star Rebate Incentives
When looking for new kitchen appliances, it pays to look beyond the sticker price. WE Energies offers rebate incentives for Energy Star rated equipment. Make an energy-smart purchase for your next appliance. Think in terms of life cycle costs, which include annual energy costs and operational efficiencies. For more information go to www.energystar.gov.
LEED – Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design
The U.S. Green Building Council, the nation’s foremost coalition of leaders from across the building industry, participates in the development of the LEED rating systems. Its role is to advance buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live and work. Commercial kitchens play an important role in the LEED process.

New Rules for Walk-In Refrigeration
In January of 2009, the Federal Government began to enforce regulations as part of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. These federal standards include new requirements for walk-in coolers and freezers which include minimum R-Value for panels, energy-efficient refrigeration controls, and lighting.

Green Hood Technology
Exhaust hoods have a huge impact on operational/energy costs for a commercial kitchen. The Avtec EcoArch™ hood combines both an economical and environmentally safe solution for the need for high quality, cost effective ventilation and performance in today’s foodservice kitchens. The EcoArch ventilation system addresses the growing need to reduce the amount of conditional air from a kitchen. The unique design reduces the amount of exhausted CFM by up to 45%. This translates into an annual electric and gas savings of up to 40%. For more information, go to www.avtecind.com.
