Abstract: The residential building sector is recently experiencing a large reduction of energy demand for conditioning, nevertheless, the use of energy in agro-industrial productions is constantly growing and the research of alternative and more sustainable sources has become necessary. In the greenhouses production, the energy problem is relevant since high demand is required, even for long periods with considerable peak requests and the use of renewable energy sources in such productions can allow a significant reduction of fossil fuel consumptions, greenhouse gas emissions and running costs.
