A great article on how energy efficiency can improve profitability for QSRs. Have a read below 👇

The DOE's proactive approach in setting efficiency standards underscores the importance of collaboration between government agencies, industry stakeholders, and the public to achieve energy efficiency and sustainability goals. While the DOE involves itself in setting standards for electrical loads, such as cooking products, there seems to be a slower response in addressing regulations for portable electricity generators. Let’s reflect on the broader context of energy efficiency and generation, especially considering innovative products like GismoPower's MEGA. The MEGA offering a versatile, grid-tied, renewable energy solution, particularly beneficial for moderate income brackets and small businesses. We have received a Ph II $1.3M SBIR DOE grant to establish a standard for plug in electricity generating appliances.  Europe has had Balcony Solar, for example, for a number of years while the USA doesn’t even have any standard at all.  Given the DOE's commitment to energy efficiency and renewable energy, why delay setting standards or guidelines for portable electricity generators that contribute to energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption and grid stability? Answer, anybody? Danger. of course...to the utilities' profits.

States are Turning the Voluntary Energy Star Program into a De Facto Standard With Congress divided and unable to agree on many kinds of legislation, environmental groups have shifted their strategy to imposing new regulations and energy standards at the state level. In some cases, this is leading to a patchwork of stricter requirements that foodservice equipment and supplies dealers and manufacturers are forced to navigate. The most recent regulatory trend in commercial products is aligning state energy and water consumption requirements with Energy Star standards. This effectively turns the voluntary Energy Star program, a symbol of government-verified energy efficiency, into a mandatory minimum standard for commercial foodservice equipment in many parts of the country. To date, 14 states and Washington D.C. have approved new standards that match various levels of Energy Star requirements. The latest state to do so is New York, which updated its new appliance standards as part of a revision to its building codes in 2022. The new law impacts what products can be legally sold, rented, leased and installed in the Empire State and the affected equipment includes commercial dishwashers, fryers, hot holding cabinets, ovens, and steam cookers. Equipment manufactured after June 26, 2023, that does not meet Energy Star V2.0 standards (V2.2 for ovens and V1.2 for steam cookers) is now prohibited in the state. However, equipment produced before that date is still allowed, meaning that existing dealer inventory should not be impacted. A spokesperson from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the agency enforcing the codes, said the decision to adopt Energy Star standards was made to keep New York current with similar moves in other states. “New York State standards align with other states that promulgated minimum efficiency standards for products and appliances not pre-empted by the federal government,” the spokesperson said. The tendency for states to follow each other in adopting these kinds of regulations is no surprise to Charlie Souhrada, CFSP, vice president, regulatory and technical affairs, North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM). Souhrada has been following the effort to turn Energy Star into a de facto requirement at the state level for several years. In 2019, he was among the group of business advocates who argued before Colorado’s legislature against a bill that required commercial dishwashers, fryers and steam cookers to meet Energy Star requirements.

The European Commission a new web portal to make information about the energy efficiency of appliances and products more accessible to the public. New estimates have also been released indicating that EU ecodesign and energy labelling policies reduced annual consumer spending by nearly €90 billion in 2022 – a figure that could reach €150 billion a year in 2030.   The new web portal on energy efficient products will make it easier for EU citizens to find information about the energy efficiency of household appliances and the ecodesign and energy labelling rules that promote these products on the EU market. The portal also provides manufacturers, importers and retailers with targeted information to help comply with the rules, including the registration of all energy labelled products in the European Product Registry for Energy Labelling (EPREL), an EU-wide database which has been available to consumers since 2022 allowing them to search among the more than 1.5 million energy-labelled products on the EU market. https://lnkd.in/dAb5kvPt

In an era where sustainability and energy efficiency are paramount, businesses are increasingly seeking out practical ways of reducing their energy use, operating costs, and carbon footprint. While energy efficiency stands to benefit nearly any modern business, it is particularly valuable to the restaurant and commercial #FoodService industry, where a wide range of energy intensive commercial kitchen equipment is used simultaneously and for long periods of operation. With the list of commercial kitchen equipment continually evolving, programs like ENERGY STAR can help simplify this process for businesses while yielding significant energy and cost savings.
