HEAT
Heating systems
Heat is the largest running cost in a cold-climate glasshouse. Sizing and distribution decide whether it is affordable.
We size heating to the design night, then choose the distribution: hot-water pipes under the gutter, unit heaters, heat pumps or a mix. A thermal screen usually pays for itself before the boiler does.
The control strategy matters as much as the boiler: ramping, pipe temperature and screen management together decide the energy bill.
Specification
| Options | Hot-water boiler and pipe rails, unit heaters, heat pumps, biomass where available |
| Distribution | Gutter pipes, under-bench, floor heating |
| Control | Weather-compensated ramping by zone |
| Pairing | Thermal screen, double glazing or PC cover to cut losses |
Options and sizes are fixed against the house geometry and the site's design conditions.
