Saratoga Restaurant Equipment Sales & NYSERDA
SRES participates in NYSERDA’s Commercial Kitchen Pilot Program
The pilot program promotes high-efficient
commercial equipment that reduces energy
consumption by 60 percent.
They program provides consistent definitions, thus making it easier for customers to differentiate standard equipment from energy saving equipment. The pilot program used Energy Star and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), qualifying products to identify these guidelines.
The NYSERDA Commercial Kitchen Pilot Program attracted attention from 15 manufacturers, 10 distributors and 1 buying group. Their purchases made them eligible for NYSERDA incentives. More than 51 restaurants received a kitchen audit and 48 purchases of food service equipment.
Working with NYSERDA has increased sales of energy efficient commercial foodservice equipment and has also increased the staff of Saratoga Restaurant Equipment Sales knowledge regarding energy efficiency commercial kitchen equipment.

Recently Dave Hummel, President of Saratoga Restaurant Equipment Sales was interviewed by Foodservice Equipment and Supplies magazine regarding industry trends. Here is an excerpt from his interview:
When closely looking at the introduction of European equipment to the North American market, you see a larger percentage of energy-efficient products.

For the foodservice sector, the green awakening occurred roughly two years ago, prompting manufacturers, big and small, to heed the call and produce with Energy Star in mind.

Doing More with Your Demo Area
SRES in FEDA's (Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association)News & Views magazine
The concept of the demo area in a dealership and the role the Equipment Performance Center (EPC) serves at SRES.
...Particularly with a state-of-the-art lure like the 2,500 square-foot EPC. Anchored by a stone-fired hearth oven from Wood Stone, it makes quite an impression when commercial and residential customers make their way through the unassumingly large Gansevoort, NY facility. On the outside, it resembles a compact box. But on the inside, the square-footage of the former elementary school building sprawls into two meeting rooms, lots of office space and three segmented areas - a dedicated room to showcase tabletop, the Equipment Performance Center and a showroom in the rear. Smack in the middle, the EPC strategically links the two.
