Flames out, health and comfort in: a case study of heat stress mitigation with eCooking in a Kathmandu momo restaurant
This paper presents evidence from Nepal that switching to modern energy cooking can reduce thermal stress while cutting fuel bills and emissions.
Abstract
The findings in this working paper highlight that the transition from liquid-petroleum-gas (LPG) to induction cooking resulted in a much more stable thermal environment in the kitchen, devoid of the localised temperature spikes seen under LPG which can cause thermal discomfort and heat stress.
This research is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.
