To improve the productivity of the College's kitchen as well as replacing the appliances that had reached the limit of their usefulness, the College undertook the evaluation of various improvement scenarios.

The solution put forward by Poly-Énergie consisted in controlling the kitchen's main equipment, appliances and hot water heater through a computerized management system. By controlling the electrical load through continuous modulation based on the diversification of appliance demand (ovens, steam pots, hot plates, fryers, hot water, etc) and the main power demand, Poly-Énergie committed itself to an 18 000 $ annual energy cost reduction compared to the previous situation.
