Description

As part of its ecological transition, the city of Mons is investing in a municipal greenhouse on the Cabuy site in Ghlin. The existing facilities no longer met current standards in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, leading to the choice of a future-oriented solution.

For this project, we are constructing a modern widespan greenhouse for the production of ornamental plants, equipped with high-performance systems for climate control, irrigation and heating. Thanks to this new infrastructure, the city will be able to manage its green spaces more efficiently and in a more energy-conscious way.

Modern greenhouse cultivation requires smart technologies, well-considered energy solutions, and maximum efficiency.

 

  • Sustainable design focused on energy efficiency

    The greenhouse has been designed with particular attention to energy consumption, user comfort, and optimal growing conditions for ornamental plants. By combining high-quality materials with advanced technologies, energy use is significantly reduced without compromising performance.

    Key features of the project include:

    - optimized ventilation;
    - integrated climate control system;
    - horizontal shading system;
    - high-performance heating installation;
    - connection to a central biomass heating network. The greenhouse is part of an energy system in which several buildings on the site are heated via an underground district heating network.

  • The greenhouse will be equipped with modern technologies tailored to professional cultivation conditions for ornamental plants, including:

    - a fully integrated climate control system;
    - electrical installation;
    - irrigation system;
    - horizontal shading system;
    - heating system with air heaters
    - rolling benches.

By locating the greenhouse close to the City of Mons’ Green Management services, daily operations can also be organised more efficiently.

This project illustrates how modern greenhouse construction, high-performance technologies, and sustainable energy solutions come together in a future-oriented infrastructure for professional ornamental plant cultivation.
