To reduce the energy consumption in existing greenhouse with small changes in configuration and operating procedures
by 20 - 40 %.
To improve the competitiveness of European farmers enabling them to cope with the growing fuel prices and external competition (reduction of production costs of by 20 – 30 %).
To decrease the emissions of greenhouse effect gases to the environment, and to assist the farmers to comply with current and upcoming environmental regulations.
To initiate the adoption of modern management strategies such as standardisation and benchmarking in the field of greenhouse agriculture (more efficient production structures leading to additional cost savings of 10 – 20 %).
To reinforce the public image of those European greenhouse growers who produce by means of energy efficient systems against external competitors.
