Exhaust Hood Demand Controlled Kitchen Ventilation with Variable Speed Drive Rebate Program

Demand controlled kitchen ventilation systems use variable speed drives and sensors to adjust airflow to real-time cooking needs, saving energy and cutting costs by slowing fans when demand is low—improving air quality and kitchen comfort.

Rebate caps may apply subject to funding availability and at the sole discretion of the Program Manager.

Program requirements

System should appear on Roseville’s QPL listing for Kitchen Ventilation Controls.

System requirements

  • VSD or EC Motor - Control system is used in conjunction with a variable-speed drive (VSD) or directly varies the speed of an EC (Electronically Communicating) motor on the exhaust and supply fans.
  • If single exhaust, use balancing dampers – If system is a single exhaust fan installed on multiple hoods, balancing dampers are used to vary the airflow in the separate hoods.
  • Controlling Supply Airflow - The control system is able to control the supply airflow proportional to the exhaust airflow on the makeup air side by either varying the speed of the MUA (Make Up Air) or DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air System) fan motor or by varying the amount of outside air by controlling a damper.
    • EMS/Energy Management System - This can be done indirectly by the DCKV (Demand Controlled Kitchen Ventilation) system through EMS (Energy Management System) integration or direct communication with the MUA (Make Up Air) or DOAS (Dedicated Outdoor Air System).
  • If New Hood, Limited CFM - Total of all kitchen hoods’ exhaust is ≤5,000 cfm, due to Title 24 mandate
