High Tunnel Energy Efficiency Webinar

December 14 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm

This webinar will focus on energy use and conservation in high tunnel and greenhouse production. Energy costs can be substantial in a smaller diversified production system and reducing electric bills can help the bottom line. We’ll understand energy costs and how to approach an energy assessment of your farm. We’ll then talk about energy efficient designs and materials for new structures and energy retrofits for existing structures.
  • When: December 14, 12:30-1:30PM
  • Where: Zoom
  • Cost: Free, Registration Required
