In order to support the intensive development of agricultural crops and, in particular the floricultural inside a greenhouse, with the perspective of a quick distribution in the market, increasing the economic benefits and supported on efficient and intelligent management systems energy, it is mandatory to conceive a model based on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) This implies, accordingly, increases in renewable primary energy sources utilization coupled with sensing technologies, include developments on Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC), supported with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that will lead to new architectural approach applied to a proposed energy system, based on a sustainable and more engineering autonomous process. This work comes up with a new energy model that retrofits the system of a greenhouse supported with multiple sensors in one grid, to expand into CPS concept to manage sensors and controllers that will improve a profitable energy system.

This work involves the study and dissemination of energy management practices for greater energy efficiency in a context of renewable energies, intensive production of flowers in greenhouses and the integration of data sensors, which enables the system to connect and exchange information from these systems to end users in a communication network. These several variavles can be monitored in real time with the support of the Internet of Things (IoT). It is intended to conceive a software and hardware prototype, in one new environment consumption, with the change for renewable energy sources, for better control of the variables involved in plant growth and more sustainability, in this intensive agricultural production sector.

Energy efficiency actions were made in a glass production industry such as reduction in the energy consumption that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All measures were applied regarding European Union-EU guidelines and legislation.
