The Greenhouse Energy Guide Simulator is a tool for calculating the effects of different (combinations of) renewable energy sources on energy consumption, crop performance, variable costs and environmental impact.

Users can create a digital twin of an existing greenhouse or design a future greenhouse, where they can fully customize all available parameters to their own insights.

The simulator can be used in 2 different modes:

• Anonymous mode

• Registered user mode

The anonymous mode allows users to create and simulate a scenario, where the last results are compared to the previous results. Anonymous users are able to change basic model parameters only.

Registererd users can create, save and compare multiple scenarios and have access to the advanced model parameters.

Registered users

Registered users must logon with the “lock” button at the top right and enter

Once logged on the main screen appears with the saved scenarios list on the left. Next step is to create a new scenario with the ADD button.

A dialog appears where a crop and location can be selected

Anonymous users

In the anonymous mode the main screen shows drowdown lists where a crop and location can be selected for a new scenario.
