Export your results in the form of datas charts and graphs in one click, directly into Excel.
A real time-saver for your analyzes and presentations.
With this update, you can:
– 
Select the scenarios you want to compare
– 
Choose the key indicators for your analysis
– 
Instantly generate a clear, structured comparison table and graph with annual, monthly or hourly data
– 
Export your results to Excel with just one click
- Annual report:
Compare the total impact of each configuration over a full year. Immediately observe differences in consumption, cost and efficiency with the scenario comparison tool
- Monthly report:
Analyse the trends in your costs, consumption and assets on a month-by-month basis. Identify the most critical periods or consumption peaks with the scenario comparison tool.
- Hourly view of our Scenario Comparison Tool:
Get a detailed hour-by-hour simulation for each month.
Precisely compare the efficiency of your technical solutions.
See the immediate results of each configuration (cooling, humidity, energy…).
We propose 2 cases studies:
- Comparison between several screen configuration in heating expenditures
- Comparison between LED and HPS supplemental lighting
I) Case study : screens comparison in south of France with the scenario comparison tool
Regarding the comparison between several screens:
We study the impact of several screen configuration in heating expenditure for a 10 000 m² venlo greenhouse in south France.
We compare the following configurations:
- No screen
- 1 thermal screen 1347
- 2 thermal screens 1347
- 1 thermal screen 1347 and 1 aluminium screen 9970
Annual heating expenditure :
The results are very interesting and easily comparable online, thanks to the new version of Hortinergy with its scenario comparison tool.
Monthly expenditure :
Hourly energy consumption :
II) Case study : Supplemental lighting, comparison HPS vs LED in Lemington (Ontario/Canada) with the scenario comparison tool
We recently compared two types of lighting (HPS and LED) for a 10,000m² cannabis project in Lemington (Ontario, Canada).
– Consumption and heating costs
– Consumption and lighting costs
Annual comparison :
LED are more efficient than HPS in photosynthesis lighting.
Electricity expenditures, the main costs, are reduced by 35%. HPS generate more heat.
The total monthly costs are reduced by 29 %.
Hourly basis :
With Hortinergy, you can simulate screens, semi-closed greenhouse, energy consumption, sustainability, cannabis greenhouse, supplemental lighting, and calculate carbon tax rebate. We also provide trainings on energy consumption to become a greenhouse designer.
