Because kitchens are one of the most energy-intense environments in the commercial building segment to begin with, kitchens present significant challenges when optimizing occupant comfort while balancing energy efficiency. Attendees will learn what comprises optimal occupant comfort and how to assess their existing kitchen environment for both occupant comfort and energy use. They’ll also learn who they can do to improve occupant comfort in the kitchen without giving up on achieving important energy efficiency goals.
