Customer request

Provide a comprehensive structure that enables the control of extreme temperatures year-round. Drawing from their experience in open-field conditions and short production cycles, the goal is to enhance production quality, extend cycles, and optimize yields consistently throughout the year. Challenge & Approach

 

Challenge & Approach

The Aero+ EVEREST™ Greenhouse is installed with 12.80m bays and a 5.5m gutter height, engineered for DPS 300 wind speed capacities, tailored precisely to local requirements. It features a single vent to the gutter opening with anti-insect mesh and 1.80m polycarbonate walls, supplemented by a double inflated layer for complete enclosure on the sides, along with a cooling pad system and extractor fans on frontals for optimal climate control. Access is managed through sliding doors and fanjets (air curtains to prevent insect entry). The double inflatable walls on the cover and sides aid in regulating temperature and light quality while enhancing overall climate management. Additionally, an in-house thermal screen system is integrated. All equipment is custom-made to maximize organic yields.

Results & Characteristics

This project sets a significant industry benchmark, especially compared to open-field production. By harnessing effective climate management within the greenhouse, it enhances quality, doubles production output, and remarkably reduces the required production area. The results of this turnkey project consistently surpass the client's needs and expectations.
