THE GREEN HOUSE

Mission & Vision

Mission

We partner with organizations, advocates, and communities to lead the

transformation of institutional Long-Term Care by creating viable homes that

spread THE GREEN HOUSE® vision, demonstrating more powerful,

meaningful, and satisfying lives, work, and relationships.

Vision

We envision homes in every community where elders and others enjoy

excellent quality of life and quality of care; where they, their families, and the

staff engage in meaningful relationships built on equality, empowerment, and

mutual respect; where people want to live and work; and where all are

protected, sustained, and nurtured without regard to the ability to pay.

Keys to success

As soon as anybody outside the company is

involved, then you have to provide more

information. When a plan is for internal use

only, you may not need to describe

company history and product features, for

example. Stick to the topics that add value,

that make you think, that help support

decisions. When you involve people

outside the company, then you need to

provide more background information as

part of the plan.

Company Summary

The efficiency and productivity of a

greenhouse structure is greatly influenced

by its design. Also, the initial and long term

costs of the facility are effected by the type

of materials used. Ridge and furrow houses

provide the greatest efficiency in crop

production. Aluminum is the most durable

and commonly used framing material for

commercial greenhouse structures. Double

sheets of polyethylene film is the most

economical covering material available for

Texas producers

Pruduct Description

The efficiency and productivity of a

greenhouse operation is largely dependent

on the type of growing structure used. Since

there are many designs to select from, it is

important to become familiar with the

advantages and disadvantages of each. The

following is a brief discussion of commercial

greenhouses and their structural

components.

Market Analysis Summary

ICF helps clients evaluate the cost-effectiveness

of buying greenhouse gas (GHG) allowances

versus reducing emissions internally—and we

help ensure that the offset market opportunities

are real, verifiable, additional, and permanent.

Using a full suite of tools and analytics, ICF

provides clients with recommendations that

account for all the GHG allowance and offset

market variables, such as the emergence of

sector-specific mechanisms and the impact of

compliance requirements for non-GHG

pollutants.

Strategy and Implementation

Summary

Heating is a major concern to commercial

greenhouse producers. This is due primarily to

the costs involved in the purchase and operation

of heating equipment as well as the potentially

disastrous effects of a poorly designed system.

Although solar energy represents a significant

factor in greenhouse heating, supplemental

systems are a necessity for year round

production.

Management Summary Univ. of Md. Extension personnel report that the

recent warm temperatures are causing some pest

populations to escalate. Thrips are being found in

greenhouses on just about all plants. Thrips damage

symptoms include white streaks on flowers and

speckling on foliage. Growers are advised to do tap

tests of flowers and foliage onto white paper to see

if thrips are present.

Spider mites, which thrive in hot, dry environments,

are building up on monarda, buddleia and zinnias.

Look for yellow speckling on the foliage. Webbing

will also be present on the foliage if populations are

high.

Fungus gnats are causing vinca and dahlia plants to

collapse by feeding at the base of plants. Inspect

stems for translucent larvae with black heads.

Monitor for the larvae by placing potato disks on the

substrate surface and checking them regularly.
