Geothermal Greenhouse
- The system has been introduced to the Greek market by the company since 1981
- Significant experience in specialties and construction philosophy
- The principle of operation is based on spraying water between the two plastic covers
- The creation of 5 insulation layers of cover in extreme weather conditions helps to maintain proper conditions inside the greenhouse (7 ° C indoor temperature)
What has changed since 1981 to date?
The research developed by the company, combined with the improvement of building materials, has led to an improved greenhouse issue. The parameters constituting the greenhouse disadvantages have been improved or eliminated:
1. Increased shading conditions due to double skeleton and double plastic
2.The ventilation issues
3.High Construction Cost

Improved plastic compared to 3 decades ago – permeability was about 65% and now reaches 90%

Temperature setting in double cover:
- Inner plastic cover
- Water film layer
- The air layer
- Ice layer
- External plastic cover
They prevent the heat from escaping, acting as an insulator and an obstacle in the outgoing without artificial heating radiation
Trapping of the thermal radiation when the temperature is particularly low due to the strong contribution of the ice layer – as the cold increases, the ice thickness increases, keeping the temperature indoors up to 7oC for external -20oC
Saving compared to typical greenhouse construction of 80%
