Abstract
In this paper different greenhouse structures were analyzed regarding energy consumption and energy productivity in winter lettuce production. Greenhouse production is still among most energy consuming branches in agriculture with very high investments and annually costs. This is the reason why plastic covering are introduced as mean of making this kind of plant production more efficient. Also, as a mean of lowering energy consumption, tunnel structures are proposed. Three different double plastic covered greenhouses were used for energy analysis. Two tunnel types, 9x 58m and 8 x 25m covered with double 180μm PE UV IR folia, and one gutter connected plastic covered greenhouse 7 x 39m. Inner folia was 50μm and outside folia was 180μm. Results show lowest energy consumption for gutter connected greenhouse. Energy out/in ration was also higher in gutter connected greenhouse. Highest energy consumptions was obtained in tunnel 8 x 25m.
