Save energy in an integrated way
During the four-part online course, you will learn about saving energy when growing healthy and resilient crops in an integrated way.
Course 1: Uncover the energy-plant-climate connection with Rene Beerkens and Mark van der Werf. Learn how less energy input impacts light, temperature, and humidity. Discover the potential of doing more with less, using data from the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge.
Course 2: Dive into greenhouse insulation and air movement essentials, with Ton Habraken and Peter van Weel. Balance energy efficiency while maintaining a healthy plant environment. Discover how to navigate the new energy landscape.
Course 3: Shed light on artificial lighting optimization with Stéphane André and Evripidis Papadopoulos. Explore options, efficiency, and plant effects. Embrace the future of controlled growing with adaptive strategies.
Course 4: Master the art of reduced-energy irrigation, together with Remy Maat and Rob van Dijk. Delve into plant health, resilient strategies, and precision monitoring. Adapt to the changing energy landscape for better cultivation.
Webinar (Oct 18): Optimizing Radiation at Crop Level >> During the webinar we'll shed light on innovative strategies to maximize natural light usage in your greenhouse while minimizing energy consumption. Discover how advanced techniques like better screens, specialized coatings, and dynamic lighting can help you achieve the perfect balance for your plants, all while saving on energy costs.
Webinar (Oct 25): How crop data influences energy demand >> During the webinar we'll delve into using crop data for informed decision-making. Explore essential crop registration items and their growth relevance. Learn to leverage local conditions for optimizing energy use and translate data analysis into actionable strategies. Join us to master efficient energy management through data-driven insights.
