Notes: Life cycle costs are discounted over the product lifetime using a real discount rate of 4%. See General Assumptions tab to adjust the discount rate.
Net life cycle cost savings = life cycle cost savings - additional purchase price
ENERGY STAR commercial kitchen equipment often has a lower maintenance cost as well as lower utility costs
Click here to go to the RESULTS DETAIL tab with specific savings for each product and more detail on life cycle savings.
If every commercial kitchen replaced all of their equipment with ENERGY STAR qualified equipment, it would remove approximately 89 billion
pounds of CO2 from the atmosphere every year, which is equivalent to the emissions of 8 million cars or planting 9 million acres of trees.
This calculator was developed by U.S. EPA and DOE to estimate the energy consumption and operating costs of commercial kitchen equipment and the savings with ENERGY STAR.
New ENERGY STAR qualified products are compared to the average available non-qualified new products. Actual savings may vary based on use and other factors.
See www.energystar.gov for information on other ENERGY STAR products.

Note: - "Time in constant steam mode" refers to the percentage of time the steamer is operated in continuous steam or constant operation mode
instead of timed cooking. When in this mode, the energy and water consumption are the same regardless of the amount of food cooked.
On most models the user can choose the mode of operation.
