2011 ENERGY STAR Commercial Food Service Incentive Guide

The 2011 ENERGY STAR Incentive Guide is now available (under the "Buying Guidance" tab).  The guide provides information on qualifying for incentive programs by state and by product type. 

Duke convection ovens and several other products qualify for ENERGY STAR® incentives.  Refer to the guide and your utility company for full information.  Keep in mind that ENERGY STAR® or the utility company can discontinue the program at any time and without notice. 

Duke ’s 613, 613Q and E-series convection ovens with ‘V electromechanical controls’ or ‘XX electronic programmable controls’ met the ENERGY STAR® efficiency requirements in categories of product performance, cost savings and reduced energy consumption.

Duke’s ovens tout less energy input than other similar products on the market, offering up to 35% energy savings. Duke’s high storage capacity commercial refrigeration system has also received the ENERGY STAR®.

“Duke is proud to be an ENERGY STAR® partner,” said Jack Hake, Duke President and CEO. “We are committed to creating products that help our customers serve the highest quality food with the smallest environmental impact.”

In addition to helping the foodservice industry save costs related to energy consumption through product innovation, Duke has also launched a company-wide commitment to sustainability called “Project Green Shield,” an internal campaign that has reduced the contribution to U.S. landfill waste by one third and recycled an average of 2.5 tons of paper, plastic, and cardboard and 140 tons of non-ferrous metals each month.
