Horizontal energy screen
Horizontal energy screens for an optimal greenhouse climate
A horizontal energy screen helps retain heat when needed and contributes to a stable climate in the greenhouse. By limiting heat loss, energy consumption can be reduced significantly, while crops benefit from a more uniform growing climate.
Boers Scherming advises, supplies, and installs horizontal energy screens that are fully tailored to the greenhouse, the cultivation, and the business operations.
The benefits
Lower energy costs
By holding heat for longer, less needs to be heated, which directly helps reduce energy costs.
Stable greenhouse climate
Temperature fluctuations are reduced, allowing crops to grow under more consistent conditions.
Less heat loss
Heat escapes more slowly through the greenhouse roof, so available energy is used more efficiently.
Better climate control
The screen works together with the other climate systems to better manage temperature and air humidity.
New-build and renovation
Horizontal energy screens can be integrated into both new greenhouses and existing situations.
Tailor-made for every greenhouse
Each installation is tailored to the dimensions of the greenhouse, the cultivation, and the desired climate strategy.
SUITABLE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CROPS
Applications
A horizontal energy screen is used in various horticultural businesses where energy savings and climate control are important.
Among other things suitable for:
- Vegetable cultivation
- Ornamental plant cultivation
- Plant nurseries
- Propagation and growing-on businesses
- New-build projects
- Renovation of existing greenhouses
Because every crop has different climate requirements, we always advise a solution that fits the specific situation.
An energy screen is often part of an overall solution. Depending on the situation, an energy screen can be combined very well with other screen solutions.
Horizontal blackout screen
For maximum control over light exposure and blackout.
Facade screens
For extra protection against sunlight through the facades.
Outdoor screens
To limit solar radiation even before it reaches the glass.
Frequently asked questions
What is a horizontal energy screen?
A horizontal energy screen is a movable screen fabric that is installed under the greenhouse roof. The screen helps retain heat and contributes to a stable climate inside the greenhouse.
How much energy can an energy screen save?
The exact savings depend on the greenhouse, the crop, and how the system is used. When properly implemented, an energy screen can significantly reduce heat loss and thereby help lower energy costs.
Can an energy screen be installed in an existing greenhouse?
Yes. Existing greenhouses can often also be fitted with a new energy screen or a complete replacement of an existing system.
Is every energy screen suitable for every greenhouse?
No. The right solution depends on, among other things, the greenhouse structure, the crop, the desired climate control, and business operations.
Does Boers Scherming also handle installation?
Yes. We take care of both the advice, the supply, and the complete installation of horizontal energy screens.
