Energy curtains
Energy curtains reduce natural gas use by retaining heat during the winter. When the curtains are closed, heat is contained, resulting in fewer hours of boiler usage.

Where are your top opportunities hiding?
Here are some examples of common technologies that have helped our agribusiness customers maximize their energy performance.
Triple polyethylene roof and walls
Triple polyethylene consists of three plastic layers and two air gaps that improve heat retention, enhance plant growth and reduce condensation.
Vent seals
Vent seals provide an airtight seal to prevent leakage air infiltration all year round. They also prevent bugs and diseases from infecting crops.
Diffused glass
Designed to distribute light more evenly among greenhouse crops, diffused glass can increase high-wire crops by five to ten percent.
Steam to hot water conversion
Heat loss is always greater with steam systems. Converting from steam to hot water can reduce energy and operating costs.
