Pot plant growers Robert and Walter van den Berg left nothing to chance with the recent construction of a 4.3 hectare greenhouse. Only the best systems were good enough and for that reason, the brothers opted for the PARperfect screen solution from Svensson.

Gretchen Schimelpfenig is one of those people who seem to fit more into their working week than many of us find time for in a month. She works with greenhouse owners on energy projects and accessing rebates and grants, and runs Cornell University’s GLASE Consortium on greenhouse lighting and control, speaks at green industry conferences, and plays first fiddle in the Hildegard String Quartet. From a Vermont forest home, she manages to combine an engineer’s optimism, with a deep-felt mission to reduce the climate impact of horticulture and the built world.

Many growers want to grow more sustainable an often this means retrofitting new equipment. But while growing with fully closed energy screens how do you address greenhouse humidity issues if your trellisis already packed with lighting, (hoirst)heating, irrigation systems, screen installations and fogging systems?
