REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF GREENHOUSES BY THE CHOICE OF THE HEATING SYSTEM

Authors

J. Meyer

Abstract

The energy consumption of greenhouses can be reduced by the choice of the heating system up to about 18 %. The results of former investigations are shown in comparison to an airheating system with low installed perforated ducts.
