Greenhouse Heating

From Acrolab Ltd.

The Greenhouse Industry will support most initiatives that may provide a practical and cost efficient alternative to the traditional means of heating greenhouse structures. The most common method of heating a greenhouse in a commercial setting is with the use of fossil fuels such as natural gas, fuel oil, etc. However, any alternative to exact a more efficient controlled interior environment suitable for plant production would likely be well received.
