Ebf GmbH pilot recommendation - article by IfaS
Posted onThe pilot sites within the framework of the Interreg NWE project GROOF have different targets and opportunities to develop synergies of energy and material flows between the buildings and the rooftop greenhouses. This article provides an overview on such potentials for the pilot site of ebf GmbH in Germany. The key research objective was to identify the CO2 reduction potentials through the energy flows: for example, constructing a greenhouse with high energy efficiency, using waste heat from the building, installing a PV shadowing system to generate additional energy for the greenhouse etc. The reason for this is that reducing the energy consumption results in reducing the overall GHG emissions in the protected vegetable production. This result is the outcome of “The Deliverable 2.1: Reference framework & baseline analysis (U. Kirschnick and K. Wilhelm)” Ebf GmbH will develop and construct a modern and futureproof greenhouse concept which will focus on the synergies between the support building and the growing systems. Read More
