Multi-span greenhouse efficient in light and climate with climate automation Large air volume.
Energy saving.

Challenge & Approach

Everest Aero greenhouse 12m80. Height under gutter: 6 meters. Gutter upon gutter.
Partition under gutter to obtain 2 different climatic compartments (Hot for the cucumber, cooler for the tomato).
Future possibility of heating without fossil energy with the requirements of Organic Agriculture.

Results & Characteristics

The plants are active earlier in the morning thanks to the flattened vault avoiding casting shade on the next nave.

Thanks to the double inflatable wall, it obtains a cold precocity of at least 15 days (planting progress at the beginning of March) and a milder climate during the season. He notes significant thermal inertia due to the heating of the ground during the day and the insulation of the greenhouse.

Thanks to the whitening of the posts and gutters, the shape of the vault and the choice of films, it obtains a better yield and a superior quality of plants and fruits.

Climate management is effective, particularly for managing the humidity of the greenhouse. Openings on gutters promote rapid and efficient convection (Venturi effect) without causing unwanted drafts in the crops which would cause the spread of powdery mildew. No botrytis or mildew noted, proof that the greenhouse is healthy in all respects.

The double inflatable wall on the sides ensures great homogeneity of temperatures in the greenhouse (no edge effect The width of 12m80 makes it easier to work the soil and organize the crops.
