On Farm Energy Efficiency Measures

Energy Efficiency & Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Opportunities (by Deb Grantham)

• Reviews how energy conservation and efficiency can lead to financial savings while also reducing GHG associated with energy consumption, for example, by improving lights to reduce electric bill or implementing cost-effective ventilation in dairy barns for increased milk productivity in hot summer months.

 

Background
