Most National Mechanical and Fire Codes and Standards require that the CKV Type 1 hood systems shall be designed and installed to automatically activate the exhaust fan whenever cooking operations occur. If the CKV Exhaust fan is not manually turned on when the cooking equipment is in use, then an auto fan start will [...]

CKV hoods can be fitted with temperature monitors that have an adjustable temperature setting. The temperature monitors are set to a point slightly above the standard ambient operating kitchen temperature. When the temperature monitors detect temperatures above the standard ambient kitchen temperature, the monitor closes a switch that can be used to energize the [...]

The CKV hood that is considered the most energy efficient is the hood that can be installed over cooking equipment and exhaust the lowest amount of exhaust air. An example of an energy efficient hood is a hood that uses advanced aerodynamic technology that incorporates airstreams into the front lower [...]

Unfortunately no. The only part of a CKV hood system that can qualify for LEED point credits for Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DKCV) Systems. Streivor's DemandAire™ qualifies for LEED points and has met the technical requirements to receive the EPA's ENERGY STAR® Emerging Technology Award.

Demand Ventilation Controls can be added to the CKV Systems to vary the exhaust and make up air fan during different levels of operations, such as peak or off peak cooking times.

Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) is a system that incorporates sensors that monitor the state of the CKV hood, CKV hood duct, and/or cooking equipment. The monitors provide information on the state of the CKV components and send information to a control panel that varies the amount of power that is supplied to the [...]

Yes, currently several energy companies offer rebates for approved Demand Controlled Kitchen Ventilation (DCKV) Systems. Read More
