Description
Village Farms Income Fund operates a commercial vegetable greenhouse business with high natural gas use. The baseline greenhouse gas emissions are directly related to the combustion of natural gas for space heating year-round because the combustion of natural gas produces CO2. The project reduces the demand for natural gas due to the installation of energy curtains. The curtains are deployed at night and during overcast conditions to insulate the building without interfering with incoming sunlight. By providing insulation, the curtains reduce heat loss to the environment and therefore reduce the demand for energy to heat the greenhouse.
