Energy Use and Energy Efficiency Opportunities in Restaurants

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), restaurants are the most energy-intensive commercial buildings. The EIA states restaurants, per square foot, consume nearly three times the energy of the average commercial building. This is due to their long hours of operation, specialized equipment, and sheer demand, that makes up much of the substantial consumption. Overall, the energy consumption by foodservice buildings can be excessive and often wasteful. Therefore, the delivery of a cost-effective green technology, such as Nano LiquiTec™ with Graphene Dynamics™, delivering an average increase in energy efficiency of 25%, is a real solution for the entire restaurant industry, worldwide.

Along the same lines, supermarkets are also major energy consumers among commercial buildings. The EIA reports that food sales buildings are the second most energy-intensive buildings with around 50% of energy use going to refrigeration alone.

Naturally, the largest portion of energy use in restaurants is cooking and food preparation followed closely by cooling, heating, and refrigeration as a whole. As the world’s first and only truly synthetic catalyst and green nanotechnology engineered specifically to eliminate oil fouling (a phenomenon discovered by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) in HVAC, refrigeration and heat pumps, Nano LiquiTec® with Graphene Dynamics® is made for restaurateurs.

According to Pacific Gas and Electric’s Food Service Technology Center, 80% of the $10 billion annual energy bill for the commercial food service sector is expended by inefficient food cooking, holding, and storage equipment. By installing Nano LiquiTec® with Graphene Dynamics® into an HVAC or refrigeration system, restaurants can cut utility costs by an average of 25% without sacrificing service, quality, style or comfort – while making significant contributions to a cleaner environment.

By becoming more energy efficient, restaurants can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve their own financial bottom line. Nano LiquiTec® with Graphene Dynamics® is a real, affordable green solution.
