Assimilation lighting (LED, HPS) for greenhouse can now be modelled with Hortinergy.
Hortinergy models:
– suppemental lighting required according to regulation setpoints, external solar radiation and transparent cover
– electricity required
– regulation setpoints: Day light Integral (DLI) or lighting hours
– heat and evapotranspiration generated
Calculation are performed on hourly basis during one year.
This will allow you to know precisely your electricity consumption by taking into account the different parameters of your LED (……).
