    Yield and quality increase can be achieved by heating in greenhouses. However, because of high initial investment costs, heating system is not used in most of the greenhouses in the Mediterranean region where greenhouse is widely used in our country. Unpredictable energy costs and profitability are another obstacle for producers. Many different parameters such as regional long-term climate data, greenhouse cover material type and quality, thermal screen type and its usage, heating system, greenhouse tightness condition, plant species, solar radiation, wind and lighting play an important role in the calculation of the heating load to the surroundings. Also the heating load to be calculated is the basic criterion for determining power of the heating system to be projected. Therefore, accurate calculations are important in terms of investment cost and system efficiency. In study, heating load, which is the basis of heating system projects according to different types of greenhouses for Kahramanmaras region and heat saving has been determined by using ISIGER-SERA expert system software. Also, potential of Kahramanmaras for greenhouse production has been assessed by compared to other regions. In addition, the most appropriate greenhouse type recommendations for the region were given based on the obtained results and heat saving measures were examined.
