Commercial Hot Water Heating Systems in Restaurants - An Emerging Technology Field Monitoring Study
This report characterizes the hot water demand and associated energy use of standard, high-efficiency and instantaneous water heaters in a full-service, casual dining restaurant.

Connectionless Steamer Field Study
With funding provided by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and East Bay Municipal Utility District, the FSTC conducted a field study to determine the water and energy use profiles of both boiler-based and boilerless (connectionless) food steamers.

Ice Machine Field Study
This study characterizes the water and energy use of eight ice machines and quantifies the energy saving potential for reductions in regional water distribution and wastewater treatment.

Ice Machine Upgrade and Load Shifting Field Study
This study replaced an older, standard-efficiency machine with a energy-efficient model. The ice machine was then operated with complete non-peak, load shifted operation.

On-Site Energy Monitoring of a Two-Group Espresso Machine
This monitoring project quantifies the energy consumption of an espresso machine in a café/restaurant application.
