SERVICE DESCRIPTION

The service offers energy retrofit and renovating contractions of obsolete technology greenhouse installations. First, the existing greenhouse installations are simulated based on dynamic simulation tools for the accurate calculation of their energy needs. Then, renovating constructions and energy upgrade works are being carried out to reduce the energy losses of the greenhouse. Last, as for the energy systems, the obsolete technology energy systems are replaced with high energy efficient renewable energy systems, taking into consideration the national legislation and the restrictions of the installation areas. The main purpose of the proposed service is to convert greenhouses into zero-energy ones, minimizing their annual operating and maintenance costs. However, the proposed Green House Energy Renovation Service contributes to the increase of the total national rate of renewable energy sources use, leading to greenhouse gas emissions reduction as well.

SERVICE BENEFIT

The customer can gain:

• Energy analysis based on real-time dynamic simulation tools.
• Detailed energy consumption analysis of the greenhouse installations – accurate outputs.
• Energy analysis based on actual weather data.
• Accurate estimation of the appropriate energy retrofit investment – detailed techno-economic analysis.
• Greenhouse owners will be able to convert their greenhouse installations into zero-energy consumption by exploiting renewable energy sources systems, meeting their heating and electricity needs.
• Full licensing file of the proposed case study.
