The industrial greenhouse sector in Canada is booming, driven by the growing demand for fresh, locally grown produce available year-round. However, this growth comes with a major challenge: energy consumption.<\/span><\/p>\nLighting, heating, ventilation, irrigation, and automation are all significant cost factors for greenhouse operators. In some facilities, energy expenses can account for 30 to 40% of total operating costs.<\/p>\n
To remain competitive, greenhouse managers must invest in efficient and reliable energy management solutions. That\u2019s precisely where Lovato Electric brings its expertise.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
