Project Florimond – France

Prins Group has conducted a very special project in France. The project consists of two small greenhouses with total area of approx. 1000 m². The greenhouses serve as research centers for seed breeding.

Unique to this project is that the seven several sections which the greenhouse consists, can all operate independently of each other. In this way the four seasons winter, spring, summer and autumn can be simulated per section independently. These particular adjustments are necessary in order to bring back the seed breeding process from ten years to a process of approx. seven years. In this way the research can be done much more quickly and it saves a lot of costs. Specifics on this project are the roof and the walls, which are provided with 16mm thick diffuse glass. This double glass is coated with anti-reflection, so the greenhouse can be provided with artificial daylight. The glass is adjust in a special way to make it even more isolating.
