Burger King Corp. Debuts New Energy Efficient Restaurant in Germany

MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
Burger King Corp. (NYSE:BKC) broke new ground for the BK brand with the
unveiling of its new energy efficient BURGER KING restaurant located in
Waghäusel, Germany. The eco-friendly design developed in cooperation with Wirsol
Solar AG (Baden-Württemberg) utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and
renewable energy to power one-third of the restaurant`s energy consumption, thus
reducing energy costs by 45 percent and the emission of CO2 by more than 1201
metric tons every year.

"This new energy-efficient restaurant uses renewable energy systems, such as
solar photovoltaic and wind turbines that are estimated to save nearly half of
this restaurant`s yearly electricity costs," said Jonathan Fitzpatrick, senior
vice president franchise operations for BKC`s Europe, Middle East and Africa
region. "Implementing these new green energy systems reduces the environmental
impact and is another step in our ongoing commitment to our BK Positive Steps®
corporate responsibility program."

Through its BK Positive Steps program, the BURGER KING system is committed to
being socially responsible in all areas of its business - food, people, the
environment and corporate governance. This latest restaurant design and its
advancements in green restaurant operations is just one more example of the
brand`s commitment to its corporate social responsibility program.

Modern design meets energy efficient elements

This free-standing restaurant features the BURGER KING 20/20 restaurant image of
the future, which incorporates a variety of innovative and contemporary elements
including materials resembling corrugated metal, brick and concrete. The 20/20
design takes the brand`s signature flame-broiling core attribute a step further
by creating an exceptional and memorable dining environment.

The 20/20 design is complemented with the latest eco-friendly technologies and
energy efficient construction elements including:

* Interior heat recovery ventilation system that cools and heats the restaurant,
saving 73 percent of energy consumption per year;
* Long-lasting interior and exterior LED bulbs saving more than 55 percent of
energy consumption annually;
* Excess heat loss is captured to generate hot water, conserving 50 percent of
energy usage annually;
* A wind turbine contributing up to 2,500 kWh to the restaurant`s power supply
was added to the traditional exterior BK logo sign;
* Photovoltaic and wind energy systems that save up to 45 percent of electricity
annually;
* More than 720 solar photovoltaic modules generate over 53,500 kWh of
electricity per year, which equals the annual consumption of five U.S.
households;2
* A solar-powered electric vehicle charging station for hybrid cars; and
* A rainwater reclamation system for outside irrigation.

In addition, the restaurant kitchen features the revolutionary Duke Flexible
Batch Broiler, which maximizes cooking flexibility while reducing gas
consumption and related costs by 52 percent electricity consumption and costs by
90 percent. All BURGER KING restaurants in North America have installed this new
broiler and the international rollout is expected to be completed by the end of
2012.
