abstract

in this research energy efficiency for greenhouse cucumber production in shahreza township located in esfahan province using data envelopment analysis (dea) technique was studied. in this study, data were obtained from 25 randomize active vegetable greenhouses from 60 greenhouses in shahreza township and villages environs. the results showed that the highest and lowest consumed energy were related to fuel and water inputs with 47% and 1.2% respectively. the results of data envelopment analysis showed in ccr and bcc models 24% and 36% of farmers were efficient and the others were inefficient. mean technical efficiency, net technical efficiency and scale efficiency were calculated as 90.37, 95.09 94.6 respectively. also technical efficiency of inefficiency units in ccr model was 87% that shows13% of total energy input could be saved with upgrade efficiency in these units. in this research, total saved and unsaved energy related to fuel consumption.
