Episode 7: Food Service Energy Efficiency

On this episode, Chris welcomes Richard Young, the food services energy expert behind the development of the informative “Energy” module of Worldchefs Sustainability Education for Culinary Professionals.

Trained as an electrical engineer, Richard started his career in alternative energy, changing from energy-generation to energy-efficiency when he joined The Food Service Technology Center research team over thirty years ago. With the principle of “Sustainability Beyond the Plate,” he has consulted thousands of hospitality management and staff on how to save money sustainably by purchasing, operating and maintaining kitchen equipment and system efficiently.

Join Chris and Richard to learn how to optimize the energy usage in your kitchen.
