Discuss energey-efficient dehumidification at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference

High energy costs, discussions of carbon emission regulations, and the widespread shift to LED lighting have been pushing many greenhouse growers to seek efficient and effective dehumidification solutions. The past couple of years have seen a drastic change in greenhouse lighting, from HPS lights to more efficient LEDs. This saves a lot of energy. However, it also creates a new challenge – humidity. LED bulbs emit much less heat radiation than HPS bulbs, such as SON-T. This loss of heat increases the actual relative humidity in the space, which leads to hi...

LED Lights Reduce Costs for Greenhouse tomato Growers

Tomatoes grown around LED lights in the winter can significantly reduce greenhouse energy costs without sacrificing yield, according to a Purdue University study. Cary Mitchell, a professor of horticulture, said the average tomato is shipped about 1,500 miles from warmer climates where they're grown to cooler climates that cannot produce the fruit cost-effectively in the winter. That journey is costly, however, because tomatoes are picked green and ripen during shipping, decreasing quality and flavor. The lengthy shipping distance also adds to the industry's carbon foot...
