Many commercial kitchens still run their extraction systems at full power from open to close. It keeps the space safe, but it also means high electricity use, higher carbon output and unnecessary strain on equipment.

Intelli-Hood^® offers a different approach. Using temperature and optic sensors, the system adjusts fan speeds to match actual cooking activity. When the kitchen is quieter, the fans slow down. When demand rises, the system responds instantly. The result is a safer, calmer and more efficient working environment.

What Difference Does It Make?

Kitchens using Intelli-Hood^® typically see energy savings of up to 70 per cent. Carbon output can fall by a similar amount, and many sites achieve payback within 12 to 18 months. Because the system fits onto existing canopies and ductwork, installation is usually completed in a single night.

Teams also report quieter kitchens, better air quality and a noticeable reduction in heat build-up during busy service.

Why the Technology Stands Out

Intelli-Hood^® uses patented dual-sensing technology and includes online monitoring and reporting as standard. It can be installed on both new and existing systems and is supported by a technical team with more than 35 years of experience in Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation.

The system is widely used across hotels, universities, restaurants, hospitals and global brands, with more than 100,000 installations in over 120 countries.
