Kitchens in health care facilities are characterised by high food and fire safety requirements. Due to dietary requirements of the patient population, extreme variety of menus and high capacity on meals per day. The cooking process relies heavily on steam and convection cooking in order to deliver a healthy meal. All of these criteria impact the design of the ventilation system.
Healthcare facilities view food and fire safety of paramount importance followed closely by energy cost. The energy intensity of a food service facility is the highest per square foot of any commercial space. This also points to the opportunity for significant energy savings with properly designed and deployed ventilation and demand controls systems.
