This paper describes the development and application of a standard test method for evaluating the performance of commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) systems, including exhaust hoods, cooking appliances, and heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. An energy balance protocol is described with which energy into cooking appliances is measured and proportioned into energy exhausted, energy into food, and energy transferred to the room in which the appliances are located (e.g., commercial kitchen). When energy transferred to the room is calculated and plotted over a range of hood exhaust rates, the shape and magnitude of the curve provide quantitative measures of the overall performance of the hood, appliance, and HVAC system.
