Energy-efficient lights, glazing, shading, HVAC systems, and more play an important role in achieving cost-savings in any operation, but how a grower uses these systems is even more important. In this webinar, the speakers will discuss how growers can make the most of their equipment to improve efficiency in their operations, demonstrate how to measure that efficiency, and explain how growers can benefit from benchmarking analysis to improve their efficiency through the New York State Greenhouse Database & Benchmarking Tool.
