Hard Rock Hotel is a well-known hotel located the tourist district of Dublin, Ireland. This facility was a new construction that proactively sought to reduce their energy usage. With long operating hours in the kitchen, they decided to implement Intelli-Hood® in their hotel's commercial kitchen. Intelli-Hood® is a dual sensing DCKV solution that maximises a commercial kitchen's operation and performance. As cooking loads are reduced, so is your energy demand through AI metrics and measurements. This study shows the savings results Hard Rock achieved with Intelli-Hood.

Benefits

In Figure A below, the customer's average fan speed for the extractor fans can be seen. The data shows variations over several days. The dips in the chart represent times when the fans were not running, and the spikes represent when the fans were operating. The slight spikes in fan speed means the fans are running more efficiently. The average fan speed for these extractors was 62%.
