Solution 04

Create the climate your crop needs — not the climate your location gives you.

Climate drives yield, quality and resource efficiency. In hot and variable climates, cooling capacity, ventilation strategy and humidity management are the difference between a structure that protects a crop and one that stresses it.

Climate & Environmental Control

What this includes

Temperature, humidity, ventilation, cooling, air movement, screening and monitoring engineered for African conditions.

  • Temperature management strategies
  • Humidity and vapour pressure management
  • Natural and mechanical ventilation
  • Evaporative and pad-and-fan cooling
  • Heating where the climate requires it
  • Air movement and circulation
  • Shading and energy screening
  • CO₂ management where appropriate
  • Environmental sensors and climate computers
  • Automated climate control strategies
Engineering considerations

How we approach it

Heat is the primary constraint

Across much of Africa, removing heat and managing humidity — not adding heat — defines the climate concept.

Screening earns its cost

Shading and screening reduce peak load, protect crop quality and lower cooling energy demand.

Control needs data

Sensors and logged climate data allow strategies to be tuned to the crop over time rather than set once.
