With summer in full swing, planning for the heating season is probably the furthest thing from your mind. However, now’s the best time to make energy-efficient upgrades to save energy, improve crop yields and reduce operating costs.
Two upgrades to prioritize by year end
Retractable energy curtains Energy curtains have many year-round benefits. In colder months they can lower heating bills by up to 35 percent. On hot, sunny days they provide shade for crops and reduce cooling costs.
Beyond cost savings, energy curtains provide better humidity control for healthier crops and can minimize temperature fluctuations, which prevents heating equipment from working overtime.
Older steam system? Upgrade to hot water heating. Hot water is the most popular method for supplying heat to your greenhouse. Hot water systems provide more uniform heat and offer a larger reserve of hot water as a backup.
Whether you adapt or replace your steam system in favour of a hydronic one, you’ll save on energy costs and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
