Start with ENERGY STAR Where do you find performance data? ENERGY STAR Categories www.energystar.gov/cfs Fryers Refrigeration Ovens Steamers California s Food Service Appliance Rebates are a Great Resource! Hot Holding Cabinets Dish Machines Ice Machines Griddles PG&E Food Service Technology Center 2
All of the rebated appliances are energy efficient. So, the appliance list is a tool for finding efficient i appliances. Here s how to get all the information you need: Applies to New Construction and Replacement! Steamers Ice machines Refrigerators Freezers Holding Cabinets Fryers Large Vat Fryers Griddles Combi Ovens Convections Ovens Rack Ovens Demand Ventilation Online at: www.fishnick.com Complete List of Qualified Products Energy Star Rebate Finder Tool Updated Regularly Documents Rebate Amount & Energy Efficiency A surrogate list for non-energy Star categories PG&E Food Service Technology Center 3
Please take advantage of these lucrative rebates! Turn in the forms and take the money! Can efficiency make life easier? cooler, quieter, less smoky kitchen greater food production better cooking uniformity better lighting Low-Flow Pre-Rinse Spray Valves (PRSV) Water & Water Heating Ultra-Low Flow Fix those leaks! Even a small drip adds up: 50,000 gallons/yr $350 for water $500 for water heating 1.42 gpm rated nozzle converted to 2.0 gpm = $270 increase in annual operating cost! 1.00/therm gas & $5.00 per unit water/sewer PG&E Food Service Technology Center 4

Energy Star Steamer Saves Big on Water and Energy The Steamer Challenge: The open-system design sends a lot of energy and water down the drain. Boiler Based Steamer (Not ENERGY STAR) Average Water Usage = 40 gph PG&E Food Service Technology Center 8
The Steamer Challenge: The closed-system steamer is much more energy and water efficient! 8-Year Life-Cycle Cost Boiler Based 10-Pan Steamer $8,200! Efficient Appliances are a Very Practical Green Solution! PG&E Food Service Technology Center 9
