Description

<p>This study demonstrates the advantages of reducing heating costs, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and crude oil consumption using energy-saving systems and the negative impacts of rising energy prices in the cultivation of greenhouse winter–spring strawberries in Nasushiobara City, in Tochigi.</p><p>We gained three insights in this case study. First, farmers benefited from reduced energy consumption. Second, GHG emissions and crude oil consumption reduced when farmers used a heat pump and circulation fans and decreased the operation time of heavy oil-heating systems. Thus, the use of energy-saving technology provides environmental benefits; however, a rise in energy costs can burden farmers financially.</p>
