WP2. Initiation of European Quality standards for efficient energy use in greenhouses and the Energy Auditing Software Tool.
![]() |
The RTD partners will define the boundaries and categories for the European Quality Standards of energy efficiency in greenhouses integrating existing environmental standards and Community regulations. The main indicator to assess the compliance of a greenhouse with the EQS will be a measurement of the deviation of its actual energy consumption from the theoretical minimum energy input to a greenhouse constructed and operated under best practises procedures of application in the sector. With this purpose, a software tool based on Process Integration Techniques will be developed. The software will include a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI) specially designed to be used by greenhouse growers.
