GREENHOUSE ENGINEERING INTEGRATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT (HB 2021) Hardcover

The idea of sustainable energy development connects energy production, consumption, human well-being, and environmental quality. "Greenhouse Engineering: Integrated Energy Management" introduces the concept of managing and modeling energy in greenhouses in a joined-up way. This approach aims to lessen the burden on power grids, reduce the need for fossil fuels and water, and provide CO2 for greenhouse plant growth. By presenting technologies and management methods that are economically sound, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible, this book seeks to improve the global greenhouse industry's competitiveness. This unique book focuses specifically on a combined energy management approach for designing greenhouses and addresses the concept of energy for heating. It includes real-world case studies of greenhouse systems and integrates a design perspective with energy management strategies. The book features updated content on greenhouse heating, complete with examples and case studies. It is intended for researchers, professionals, and students in energy systems, mechanical, agricultural, and biosystems engineering.
