Melink Intelli-Hood® controls are the industry standard for commercial kitchen ventilation. Easy to install for both new construction and retrofit kitchen hoods, Intelli-Hood saves up to 90% in fan energy and 50% in conditioned air. Savings depend on the number of kitchen hoods and the amount of time the hood is active during a typical day, however most of our customers see a payback period of 1 to 3 years.
No other system in the world has the same patented optic system as Intelli-Hood, which is why our system has been installed in 8,000 kitchens worldwide. Measuring temperature, steam and smoke in the hood, Intelli-Hood adjusts the fan speed accordingly to save both fan energy and conditioned air. While most other demand ventilation systems run at 80% minimum speed, Intelli-Hood operates at a minimum speed of 10-50%. During actual cooking, the speed increases as needed up to 100% until smoke and vapors are removed, keeping the ambient temperature comfortable.
In addition, for those Food Service Consultants who work within the LEED system, Intelli-Hood contributes towards LEED points. See our LEED Application Guide to learn more about how Intelli-Hood can provide up to two credits towards LEED certification.
