Kipp, Jane A.; Snodgrass, Kathleen . 2006. Modern Systems Cut Energy Use 80 Percent at the Coeur d'Alene Nursery. 0673 2326. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program. 6 p.

The Coeur d'Alene Nursery in northern Idaho modernized its refrigeration, lighting, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to cut energy usage by an astonishing 80 percent. The nursery used third-party financing, a power company financial incentive, and a design-build contract to accomplish the work with comparatively little capital outlay. This tech tip explains how the nursery did it.
