There are many reasons to invest in an energy efficient commercial greenhouse. First, with demand for local food continuing at a strong pace, it is a good business venture – part of the reason more commercial greenhouse growers are entering the market. But, a sustainable year-round greenhouse also helps local communities and the planet. With an energy efficient greenhouse, a grower reduces the carbon toll of the structure, and creates a sustainable and local food source.
Planning a commercial greenhouse requires basic business planning — thorough research and usually spreadsheets. Ceres Greenhouse Solutions has put together a blog post featuring five essential tools to aid that process, based on the purposes they serve.
