Greenhouse Modernisation and Upgrades
An existing greenhouse may need improved climate control, upgraded irrigation, or more efficient energy use. Greenteque assesses the existing infrastructure and designs the appropriate upgrades
Share your location, crop, facility size and current equipment to get started.
Start With a Clear Assessment of Your Greenhouse
The assessment starts with your current equipment, cultivation method, and the factors affecting production. It determines which existing systems can be retained, which need upgrading, and where new technologies can be introduced.
Better Climate Control, More Stable Growing Conditions
Climate control upgrades may include:
- Ventilation: vents, air extraction, and air circulation
- Shading and cooling: shade curtains and Pad & Fan systems, where appropriate
- Automation: sensors and controllers to coordinate the selected systems together with heating and cooling
The right combination depends on the crop, local conditions, and the facility’s capabilities.
Smarter Irrigation and Fertigation, Less Water Wasted
Irrigation networks, fertigation equipment, and automated controls can be upgraded to meet the specific requirements of each crop. The aim is to improve control over water and nutrient delivery while using available resources more efficiently.
Lower Energy Costs for Heating and Cooling
Improving a greenhouse’s energy performance starts with an assessment of its heating, cooling, and electricity requirements. Upgrades may involve equipment, automated control systems, and how existing equipment is operated.
Renewable energy solutions, such as photovoltaic systems, can also be considered where they are technically and economically viable.
Upgrades That Work Together
Greenteque evaluates the existing facility as a whole and identifies the technical upgrades needed to improve its operation and efficiency. Our technical work includes:
- Assessing the greenhouse and identifying the main priorities
- Planning and engineering to select systems and check their compatibility
Greenhouse Upgrade FAQs
Can only part of a greenhouse be upgraded?
Yes, provided that the existing infrastructure can accommodate the new solution. A technical assessment establishes whether a targeted upgrade is sufficient or whether related changes are also needed.
Can new automation work with existing equipment?
This depends on the equipment and how it is controlled. We assess compatibility before defining the automation solution.
Can a Pad & Fan system be added to an existing greenhouse?
We assess installation feasibility based on the existing ventilation system, structural conditions, climate, and crop requirements.
When do you consider installing photovoltaic systems?
We consider installing photovoltaic systems once the facility’s energy requirements have been established and the conditions are in place for a technical and financial assessment of the solution.
What determines the cost of modernising a greenhouse?
The facility’s condition, the scope of the upgrades, and the systems selected. Costs can be established once the technical scope is defined.
What information do you need for an initial discussion?
The location, crop, size of the facility, existing equipment, and what you want to improve. Energy or water consumption data can also be useful, if available.
Ready to Upgrade Your Greenhouse?
Wherever your greenhouse is located, tell us about your existing facility and the upgrades you are considering. Greenteque assesses the technical requirements of your investment and develops the design for the facility and the required systems.
