Flexible & Scalable Greenhouse Climate Control

We know that each greenhouse grower’s climate control needs can vary dramatically based on crop, local conditions, scale, and budget.

That’s why our team of in-house engineers takes the time to understand your unique requirements and concerns, not only to deliver the best solution and fit for your controlled environment, but also to ensure long term sustainability and scalability for a thriving agricultural business.

Maintaining an optimum greenhouse climate that produces a consistent, high quality crop all year round, requires varying combinations of the following heating and cooling systems that can be manually controlled by the grower, or automated, depending on your unique needs:

Cooling Systems

Roof and side ventilation facilitates natural air exchange between outside conditions and the greenhouse, cooling the greenhouse structure internally. If natural cooling does not suffice, forced ventilation or evaporative cooling systems like pad and fan or high pressure fogging can be implemented to reach the desired climatic outcomes.

Heating Systems

Cold external conditions can be a massive seasonal limiting factor for year round growing. Various climate heating systems are available to counter this: Boilers and heat pumps, thermal solar collectors, buffer tanks and geothermal energy.

Our expert team of greenhouse engineers are here to help you decide upon, design and implement a viable solution that fits the structural design of your greenhouse, your crop, energy source availability and budget.

Screens

Greenhouse screens can be used to fine-tune and moderate light intensity, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels, ensuring the maximum efficiency of heating and cooling systems implemented as well as the potential added benefit of energy cost savings, maximising profits.

Computerised Automation

Climate control can be overwhelming and difficult to maintain for intensive greenhouse farming operations. Computerised climate control automation systems (Ridder & Hoogendoorn) that offer peace of mind when it comes to maintaining and fine tuning aspects of your controlled environments that can be difficult, if not impossible, manually.

It’s an affordable, plug-and-play, horticultural computer that is intuitive and easy to use.
