Basics
Average consumption
Where possible, EcoGastro uses energy values that have been measured in accordance with the ENAK test regulations in order to derive an average daily consumption. Measurements are carried out by the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences in order to have comparable data from subsidized appliances. The daily consumption is calculated from the sum of the weighted processes according to ENAK. This corresponds to standard user behavior based on ENAK experience and energy consulting. We base this on the results of the project "Fundamentals of energy efficiency of commercial kitchen appliances" commissioned by the SFOE.
Calculation of daily consumption
The base value in 2024 is 38.4 kWh/day based on an appliance with a capacity of 10 GN-1/1 (10 Gastronom 1/1 containers with a size of 530x650mm). The base value is calculated from the appliances recorded in the ENAK database. It corresponds to the average value of the third of the machines with the highest consumption.
Determination of savings
This average consumption is compared with a base value determined from a variety of appliance data. The base value represents the daily consumption of a less efficient appliance as it is on the market today (reference value for an inefficient appliance). If an appliance has a consumption that is at least 20% lower than the base value, it can be promoted by EcoGastro.
Combi steamer
Underlying
The base value in 2024 is 38.4 kWh/day based on an appliance with a capacity of 10 GN-1/1 (10 Gastronom 1/1 containers with a size of 530x650mm). The base value is calculated from the appliances recorded in the ENAK database. It corresponds to the average value of the third of the machines with the highest consumption.
Entitlement to funding
Appliances with an energy consumption of less than 32.7 kWh per day will be eligible for funding in 2024 .
Bain-marie
Underlying
The base value in 2024 is 19.4 kWh/day in relation to an appliance with a capacity of GN-3/1. The base value is calculated from the appliances recorded in the ENAK database. It corresponds to the average value of the third of machines with the highest consumption.
Entitlement to funding
Appliances with an energy consumption of less than 16.5 kWh per day will be eligible for funding in 2024 .
Griddle (grill plates)
The impact model for Griddle is currently based on estimates based on the technology installed in the appliances. No distinction is made between categories. The following average consumption of 10,000 kWh per year is assumed for the calculations.
Criteria
The following criteria can be considered for funding:
- Induction: 30%
- Special coating: 5%
Savings
This results in a reduction of 35%, corresponding to 3,500 kWh per year.
Minimum requirements for commercial kitchen appliances
It is unclear whether the minimum requirements for hobs that apply from 1.1.2024 also apply to griddles. If this is the case, griddles can no longer be subsidized.
Pasta stove
The impact model for pasta stoves is currently based on estimates based on the technology installed in the appliances. No distinction is made between categories. An average consumption of 7,768 kWh per year is assumed for the calculations.
Due to the minimum requirements regarding insulation in the ProKilowatt funding regulations, funding will not be possible in future.
No pasta stoves are currently being promoted.
Multifunctional devices
A multifunctional appliance can replace a kettle, a large frying pan or a pressure cooker (depending on the manufacturer). The savings compared with the individual appliance categories are cumulative.
Accordingly, multifunctional appliances are measured by EcoGastro according to ENAK and a saving is shown in comparison with the appliances mentioned above.
Deep fryers
Deep fryers are subsidized if they have a minimum insulation of R > 0.25 m2*K/W. They are measured and compared with other measured deep-fat fryers.
Salamander
Due to the minimum requirements, salamanders can no longer be promoted from 1.1.2024.
Pizza ovens and bread ovens
These are not currently being promoted. However, efforts are underway to include and certify them, as large savings are possible. We will determine the corresponding efficiency models and savings in consultation with ProKilowatt at the appropriate time.
Appendix: Technical measures per appliance category
The measures listed below are typical measures that lead to a reduction in energy requirements. They are not exhaustive and are not a direct prerequisite for funding from EcoGastro. EcoGastro promotes appliances that consume less energy compared to other appliances in the same appliance category, where possible based on measurements in accordance with the ENAK test definitions. For dishwashers, measurements according to the corresponding European IEC standard will be taken into account from 1.1.2024.
