Before you start your project, here are some meanings on the icons on the “profile” page.
A project is the geographical coordinates of your greenhouse. Each variation you make on this project is a scenario.
Innovative algorithms take into account specific greenhouse parameters. Our weather file includes a typical year on an hourly basis based on the GPS coordinates with parameters such as:
- Temperature,
- Relative humidity,
- Wind,
- Solar radiation (global, diffuse, PAR…)
Greenhouse covering includes :
- Type and shade of the greenhouses project (Venlo, gothic…)
- Orientation and dimension,
- Covering materials of each wall,
- Climate screens…
Hortinergy has a large material library. It is updated with the latest branded materials.
Hortinergy also takes into account the crop evapotranspiration. For this purpose, parameters about crop management have to be filled in: crop types, growing medium types, transplanting date and uprooting date, etc…
Hortinergy also considers climate control settings just as a climate computer would do:
- Temperature setpoints and relative humidity control,
- Screen regulation types,
- Morning revival
We can model standard and innovative equipment such as:
- Semi-closed and closed greenhouse,
- Pad and fan,
- Assimilation light (LED, HPS) …
For heat production and storage, hortinergy includes:
- Energy source for primary and secondary systems,
- Heat production and distribution yield,
- Buffer tank: volume, regulation…
