FEA and Zero Carbon Company partner to cut kitchen energy costs and carbon in hospitality

The Foodservice Equipment Association has joined Zero Carbon Company's Property Action Group to give hospitality property owners earlier access to energy efficient kitchen equipment expertise. The goal is to get efficient technology considered before refurbishment or new build specs are fixed, so operators can lower carbon emissions and running costs. ZCC says its work with hospitality operators has cut direct energy emissions by 52% and identified over £5m in savings. It also points to heatwave costs, with UK hospitality losing an estimated £3.2m a day during hot weather as fridges and air conditioning work harder. The partnership will include joint workshops so operators can compare carbon, running costs and emissions before buying equipment.
