Decisions to purchase a commercial kitchen ventilation (CKV) system often are based on rule-of-thumb estimates using a $/cfm index (i.e., annual energy cost to operate the CKV system divided by the average exhaust ventilation rate), typically ranging between $1 and $3 per cfm ($2.12 and $6.36 per L/s) per year. Unfortunately, the $/cfm index may not reflect actual energy consumption and cost.
