Greenhouses for Indonesia
Low light in the wet season is the constraint: covering choice and supplementary light decisions are crop-driven.
Site conditions to design against
| Summer | 28–34 °C, humid |
| Winter | 26–32 °C |
| Humidity | 80–90 % |
| Light | moderate, cloudy periods |
| Wind | monsoon and volcanic ash |
| Water | abundant, drainage critical |
Regional ranges for early planning. Final loads and set points come from your own site data, or from a design value we propose for review.
What that changes in the design
| Light | Winter light and daily light integral decide the covering, the row orientation and whether supplemental lighting is worth installing. |
| Cooling | Evaporative cooling is viable in dry air; in humid air it adds moisture and mechanical dehumidification takes over. |
| Water | Closed substrate systems with drain recovery carry both the agronomy and the business case. |
| Winter design | Heating, insulation and snow loads are a second design case. Phasing a spring-to-autumn house first keeps capital off the critical path. |
Market context
Protected vegetable production around Jakarta and the highlands serves modern retail; low light in the wet season shapes the crop calendar.
