The design of the modern commercial kitchen, including the ventilation system, can be a challenging endeavor. The idea seems simple - air being exhausted from the building must be replaced in order to maintain balance. However, the CKV system is only one component of the overall restaurant HVAC system and all of these, when designed, must work well together to maintain the comfort level of both the restaurant patrons and staff. Join us for webinars focused on topics of Commercial Kitchen Ventilation.
