Venlo greenhouse Activenlo®

HORCONEX has developed the Activenlo® greenhouse in accordance with the guidelines of ‘The Next Generation in Greenhouse Cultivation or ‘Het Nieuwe Telen’ programme, a Dutch initiative for stimulating climate-neutral and economically viable greenhouses. This advanced design focuses on ‘active dehumidification’ in the Venlo greenhouse. The primary objective of this concept is to maintain productivity at at least the same level while consuming much less energy. Energy savings of as much as 20% are possible simply by using the Activenlo® greenhouse on its own. The Next generation in Greenhouse Cultivation Since the introduction of The Next Generation in Greenhouse Cultivation or "Het Nieuwe Telen" in 2003, a Dutch initiative for stimulating climate-neutral and economically viable greenhouses, many developments have been introduced in the greenhouse horticulture sector. In the past, the greenhouse heating system was turned on in the morning and the windows were opened to activate the plants. While this method is effective, a significant amount of heat is lost through the open windows resulting in (unnecessarily) high energy consumption. The Next Generation in Greenhouse Cultivation has taught us to look at climate control in a different way. More efficient dehumidification of the greenhouse not only significantly reduces costs, it is also an environmentally responsible way of operating your business.
