Abstract

Growth in population and the ever-increasing development of new production technology leading to rising energy use in the agricultural industry. Although the greenhouse is one of the most energy intensive sectors in the agricultural industry, it is important because of its ability to intensify production. This paper has assessed energy management strategies (including single and combined energy conservation opportunities), with special emphasis on Nordic climates, where fossil fuel-based heating is still significant, despite a recent conversion to biomass boilers.
