Greenhouse climate and energy use are inseparably linked. Every change in greenhouse climate affects energy consumption, and vice versa. In this article, we dive into innovative solutions that optimize both climate control and energy use in greenhouses.

Known energy solutions 

The advanced simulation software of Certhon enables growers to calculate growing concepts and accurately predict the impact of climate and energy interventions on crops. By connecting and renovating existing installations and developing new systems, they can ensure their solutions to meet the demands of tomorrow. Think of energy solutions like heat pumps to extract heat from the air or ground, or geothermal heat utilizing the earth’s natural heat, and of course thermal storage systems to store heat in the summer and use it in the winter. These solutions work extremely well on their own, but when combining these solutions and integrating them with other systems in your greenhouse, you are able to reduce the energy costs tremendously. 

Extremely precise insights and control, at all time 

Another way to improve resource use efficiency is with data, software and insights. Jaap Weerheim, Technical Consultant at Certhon explains: “By knowing precisely when and how much light, water, and CO2 a plant needs, you can create optimal growing conditions for the plant.”
