DLV glas & energie has all the necessary expertise to gain a clear insight into the growing conditions in your greenhouse. By checking the installations during each lighting season, production losses can be prevented and corrective action taken. Furthermore, our horizontal temperature measurements are designed to help you make vital improvements and to achieve substantial cost savings!

Light levels in the greenhouse are highly dependent on the light transmission of glass and screens. More light means greater productivity!
