Customer request
Looking for a high-performance tool in terms of light, climate management, energy savings.
The tool must be scalable over time.
Challenge & Approach
Choice of white posts and gutters.
Height under gutter = 5 meters.
Flatter shape of the vault to reduce the shadow cast inside.
Choice of the double inflatable wall (DPG) and a diffusing film (no early whitening of the roof and the west side only).
Opening at the gutter to create a venturi effect for ventilation.
Results & Characteristics
Light : comparable to glass greenhouses in the region. Early harvest is assured. Light diffusion is homogeneous around the plants.
Fewer diseases, in particular by limiting air currents which cause powdery mildew attacks.
DPG reduces gas consumption. In addition, the absence of shade cast in the greenhouse anticipates the revival of the plants in the morning and allows optimization of the energy supply of the boiler.
The yields are excellent. The density of 10 plants per m² is equivalent to the standard density in the region (12 plants per m²). However, increasing density is being studied if yield follows the same trend.
