Energy Savings in Greenhouse Horticulture (GLAMI)
To improve the efficiency of greenhouse horticulture by 65%, relative to 1980, the Dutch government supports the industry in reducing the use of fossil energy, in growing production and use of renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The government uses a negotiated agreement with the horticulture industry (Glami Convenant) and efficiency standards (Greenhouse Horticulture Orders in Council). This is a public-private partnership with costs shared. Energy Targets are, average improvement of 2% energy efficiency per year (2011-2020), maximum emission ceiling 6,35 (horticulture) in 2020, share of 20% renewable energy in 2020

Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs)
…private investments. Under ESPCs, a private sector Energy Service Company (ESCO) is contracted to design, purchase, and install the necessary equipment and processes to increase energy efficiency at the facility. Federal agencies then pay the ESCO a share of the cost savings from the efficiency improvements over the life of the contract. Contractors receive a predetermined share of the cost savings and are only paid if actual savings result from the reduced energy use, while additional savings go to the Federal government. Facilities undergoing comprehensive energy upgrades through ESPCs generally target a 50% or more reduction in energy use levels.
