Addressing the unique operational and acoustic requirements of Culinary School Kitchen Ventilation

Considerations for Culinary School Kitchens and their unique ventilation requirements.

Culinary Schools are not significantly different than a traditional classroom. The same requirements for a teaching environment apply to a culinary school with a couple of important exceptions. In a teaching environment, open site lines and low noise levels are essential elements of a properly designed classroom.

In a teaching kitchen exhaust system, demand centers around the course schedule. You would have some periods of inactivity followed by a significant uptick in cooking. The system is required to be able to respond instantaneously as well as isolate inactive ventilation stations as well.
