Training and consultancy:

You can also develop a comprehensive buisness plan including profitability assessment with Greenhouse Formula.

Functionalities in the virtual greenhouse software

Annual record on an hourly basis based on the GPS coordinates with Meteonorm.

Most of classic, innovative and energy effcient greenhouse covering material are included.

The crop library includes most of the crops

Most of greenhouse energy efficient heating equipment can be modelled

Most of heat production and storage can be modelled to improve greenhouse energy efficiency.

Type of energy source
Primary production: type and characteristics (maximum and minimum power, condenser, etc.
Secondary production / back-up: type and characteristics (maximum and minimum power, condenser, etc.)
Storage tank

Climate setpoints are similar as those of a climate computer to model inner climate and optimise greenhouse energy consumption.

Temperature: day/night at different periods of the year and morning revival
Relative humidity control: RH or humidity deficit
Screen: depending on the sunlight (thermal/shading) or internal/external temperature difference
Open buffer: Water DT, CO2 production (Minimum solar radiation, required CO2 level), optimisation of the primary system (minimum power), etc.

Hortinergy can model semi-closed greenhouse, closed greenhouse, pad & fan , fog systems etc… to optimise greenhouse energy consumption and inner climate.

Assimilation light calculations are included to design energy efficient greenhouse.

Greenhouse gas emission calculation (g CO2/m² or CO2 / kg product) are required to design energy efficient greenhouse.
