Israel Agri Highlights DryGair’s Energy Savings and Sustainability

The Israeli Agriculture International Portal recently published an article discussing DryGair’s contribution to energy savings in advanced horticulture. The following are excerpts from the original article on Israel Agri.

DryGair Was Developed for Energy Savings

The DryGair system was developed by Dr. Avraham Arbel at Israel’s Volcani Institute. It was created to address several needs commercial growers everywhere share – reliable and effective humidity control, organic disease prevention, and reducing energy requirements.

A major part of DryGair’s operation, as well as Dr. Arbel’s research, focuses on saving energy in horticultural environments.

By controlling humidity from inside the space, growers can keep their facilities completely closed. This significantly reduces heat loss and substantially cuts energy costs. In fact, over the past decade, growers have reported an average of 50% savings on total energy usage, when using DryGair.

A New Way to Grow

Further improving on the idea of saving energy by keeping an insulated environment, DryGair have developed the “New Way to Grow” concept. This growing protocol focuses on providing optimal growing conditions for the plants, while minimizing energy requirements.

The “New Way to Grow” concept relies on 3 simple principles: Insulation using thermal screens, ideal lighting using efficient grow lights, and utilizing DryGair for effective humidity control.

This growing concept allows growers to fully control their greenhouse environment and provide optimal growing conditions, while also significantly saving on energy.
