PRODUCT  EVALUATION  FACILITIES

 
We encourage the development of an industry benchmarking method that will uniformly rate equipment efficiencies in the commercial food service sector.
GFEN supports the Commercial Food Services industry by identifying, developing, and implementing improved products and appliances that demonstrate superior efficiency and performance characteristics. This initiative contributes to overall national energy efficiency and DSM objectives which help maximize utilization of the natural gas as the energy source in twenty first century.

Thus, various gas utilities have set up facilities around the country where national chains and local operators may go to test and evaluate a wide variety of equipment with their customized menu items. This affords a great opportunity to check out current equipment, see how it stacks up against competitive brands and evaluate the type of energy used, gas or electric. For information, contact these GFEN Member Companies.
