April CEU Program: CaptiveAire, Inc. presentation- Ventilation systems for modern commercial kitchens

Date:   April 28, 2015
Time:  11:30am - 1:00pm
Where:  CaptiveAire, Inc. Commercial Kitchen Ventilation
              8017 Catherine Lane, Ste. 4; Louisville, KY 40222    

Program Description: 

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 system and all of these, when designed, must work well together to maintain the comfort level of both the restaurant patrons and staff. This presentation will go over exhaust hood basics such as hood types, sizing, listed hoods, installation, reduced clearance and fire protection.

 

1 AIA CEU awarded for attendance.
