Site and climate assessment
Greenhouse dimensions, covering, location and outdoor data are reviewed as calculation inputs.
CONTROLLED CLIMATE, BALANCED PRODUCTION
Greenhouse Heating Systems
We design greenhouse heating projects around structural heat loss, crop requirements, outdoor conditions and the available energy infrastructure.
From the heat source and internal distribution to zone control and automation, every component is assessed within one technical scope.
- Design based on heat loss
- Balanced temperature distribution
- Zone-based control
- Automation-ready infrastructure
How Is a Greenhouse Heating System Planned?
Greenhouse heating design starts with the dimensions, height, zoning and thermal properties of the covering. The difference between the target indoor temperature and outdoor design temperature is assessed together with wind, air leakage and ventilation. These inputs support a greenhouse heat loss calculation rather than an equipment choice based on floor area alone.
Crop temperature requirements shape day and night operating scenarios. Available energy sources, site infrastructure and operating practices are reviewed before heat-source options are compared. Equipment selection must address calculated demand, controllability and maintenance access.
From Heat Generation to Internal Distribution
Pipe routes, diameters, pumps, valves and hydraulic circuits are designed together so calculated heat can reach crop level evenly. Flow and pressure losses, greenhouse zones and representative sensor locations are considered as part of greenhouse heating design. Areas near façades or entrances may behave differently from central growing zones, so distribution cannot be judged from heat-source output alone.
Heating, ventilation and climate automation need coordinated operating logic. Night-time loss, daytime solar gain and ventilation demand create different operating scenarios. Following installation, circuits, flow balance, valves, pumps and sensor commands are tested. Maintenance access, circuit isolation and possible future connections are also reviewed during engineering. Final capacity and scope remain specific to site data and production requirements.

INTEGRATED GREENHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES
Distributing Heat Correctly Inside the Greenhouse
Generating heat alone is not enough. Pipe routes, zones and sensor locations affect temperature balance at crop level, while heating must coordinate with ventilation and climate automation.
- Modular DesignSuitable for projects of every scale

How Is a Heating System Selected?
System type and capacity depend on greenhouse and operating data considered together.
- Greenhouse area and height
- The heated volume and surface area affect load and distribution.
- Covering thermal performance
- The heat-transfer properties of glass, film or panels enter the calculation.
- Outdoor design temperature
- Local conditions determine the temperature difference to be maintained.
- Crop requirements
- Crop-stage temperature needs shape operating targets.
- Target indoor temperature
- Day and night setpoints influence capacity and control logic.
- Available energy sources
- Fuel, electricity and site services define practical heat-source options.
- Number of heating zones
- Areas with different loads may need independent control.
- Automation level
- Sensors, valves and schedules are selected for operating needs.
Greenhouse Heating Solutions
These options are not mandatory for every project; suitable combinations are assessed against the structure, crop and energy infrastructure.
Hydronic pipe heating
Hot-water circuits are sized according to the project load and distribution needs.
Under-gutter heating
Heat close to cultivation lines may be considered where the growing system calls for it.
Root-zone heating
Management of root-area temperature is assessed with the cultivation method.
Warm-air heating
Air-delivery solutions are reviewed against greenhouse volume and airflow conditions.
Boiler room and hydraulic distribution
Heat generation, pumps, manifolds and safety equipment are planned in one hydraulic scheme.
Zone control and heating automation
Sensors, valves and targets for different areas can be coordinated centrally.
Why Should Greenhouse Heating Systems Be Planned Together?
Balanced temperature distribution
Coordinating the source and internal circuits helps manage temperature differences.
Energy and capacity management
Demand, distribution and controls are assessed together to reduce sizing risk.
Climate automation coordination
Heating commands can respond consistently to ventilation and climate sensors.
Maintenance and expansion
