项目摘要

Climate resiliency is challenging for any greenhouse grower. Those in cold climates, down to -40°C, are large greenhouse gas emitters, especially during the cold winter months. Within the agricultural industry, greenhouseoperations are one of the largest emitters of GHG emissions, while the CO2 fixed by the greenhouse cropsequates to almost 6% of the total CO2 equivalent produced by the greenhouse industry. The embodied carbon is often missed when calculating the greenhouse gas emissions as, historically, the technical resources tomeasure their impact have been lacking, and alternative materials rarely existed. Scott Builders has put togethera consortium of industry and community partners to construct a year-round low carbon and low energycommercial greenhouse for the Albertan climate. This demonstration will provide the metrics, validation and tangible evidence to prove that a climate-resilient greenhouse can be a viable commercial opportunity. Thesolution will accelerate the adoption of greenhouses that support the diversification of Alberta's economy whileremaining aligned to the provincial and federal strategic priorities to reduce emissions. The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Green Building Technologies (GBT) research group is collaborating with Scott Builders, the Red Deer School District, IPB Systems and ReThink Red Deer to drive this innovative solution and to then move the outcomes into the broader community.

对于任何处于低至 -40°C 气候的温室种植者来说，气候适应能力都是一个挑战，特别是在寒冷的冬季，温室作业是最大的温室气体排放源之一。，而温室作物固定的二氧化碳几乎相当于温室产业产生的总二氧化碳当量的 6%。在计算温室气体排放量时，往往会忽略隐含碳，因为从历史上看，衡量其影响的技术资源一直被忽视。 Scott Builders 组建了一个由行业和社区合作伙伴组成的联盟，为阿尔伯塔省的气候建造一个全年低碳、低能耗的商业温室。证明气候适应型温室可以成为一个可行的商业机会，该解决方案将加速温室的采用，支持阿尔伯塔省的经济多元化，同时与省和联邦减少排放的战略重点保持一致。 SAIT）绿色建筑技术 (GBT) 研究小组正在与 Scott Builders、红鹿学区、IPB Systems 和 ReThink Red Deer 合作，推动这一创新解决方案，然后将成果推广到更广泛的社区。
