Greenhouse Grower Editor Brian Sparks recently caught up with Gretchen Schimelpfenig, a Senior Energy Engineer at Energy Resources Integration (ERI), to talk about how greenhouse and controlled-environment agriculture producers (in the wake of Trump administration policies) are being impacted by the changing landscape for energy efficiency grants they have either applied for or are considering.

ERI is a clean energy consulting firm developing a sustainable future for our planet through cost-effective energy management. Gretchen is also the Executive Director of the Cornell University’s Greenhouse Lighting and Systems Engineering (GLASE), an academic consortium pioneering climate-smart agricultural technology demonstrations and workforce development.
