Is a clear night heat loss stealing critical quality and profitability from your greenhouse?

The trials Svensson carried out in Almeria, Spain tested a simple, but powerful hypothesis. Can we increase crop production and quality in a traditional greenhouse by reducing night-time heat loss, while letting in as much of the best growing light as possible by day?

Preventing higher gas consumption when purchasing LED lighting

Due to the high energy prices last winter, many growers left their SON-T lighting off or only continued with LED, even if they had a hybrid installation. But LED emits much less radiant heat, which can reduce the heat input in the greenhouse by up to 40 percent. This lower heat input must then be partially compensated by extra heat in the heating pipes. A second energy screen in combination with vertical fans can largely compensate for this, says climate consultant Bart Bakker.
