By using energy curtains, greenhouse operators can reduce heating system costs and fuel consumption by up to 50%, while also lowering the cooling energy demand during warmer months. The result is an optimized and consistently controlled climate within the greenhouse. These systems operate automatically and intelligently, using high-precision sensors to continuously monitor and adjust light, temperature, and humidity. The opening and closing of the curtain is fully automated via climate control software.
Open-weave aluminum curtains allow for airflow and moisture dissipation between the strips, while their reflective properties help retain infrared radiation (IR) during nighttime, improving thermal efficiency.
Closed-type curtains reduce energy loss by minimizing thermal convection and limiting the volume of air that needs heating, thus further enhancing energy savings in cold conditions.
This thermal screen system reflects the sun’s radiant heat, preventing it from reaching the plants and greenhouse space — effectively lowering the internal temperature during the day. At night, when the screen is fully extended, it serves two main functions:
- Prevents heat loss by blocking infrared radiation from escaping the greenhouse
- Reduces the air volume that needs to be heated, as the closed curtain creates a smaller internal space — resulting in significant energy savings and lower operational costs
Moreover, this type of greenhouse shade also helps reduce humidity and disease risk by preventing condensation droplets from forming on plant leaves.
Benefits of Using Energy Curtains:
- Reduces cooling costs and energy consumption by up to 50%
- Lowers heating system expenses and fuel consumption by up to 50%
- Improves air circulation and ventilation efficiency
- Distributes sunlight more evenly, leading to uniform plant growth
- Prevents temperature shock to plants by stabilizing the microclimate
- Boosts crop yield by up to 30%
- Saves water consumption in both irrigation and operational systems
- Reduces humidity by absorbing and evaporating moisture through the upper layer of the curtain
- Controls light intensity entering the greenhouse
- Minimizes plant transpiration and condensation droplets, which helps reduce disease risks
