Do I need heating?
Heating is required when night or winter temperatures fall below the crop's minimum for the production window you intend to sell into, or when dehumidification depends on heat. If the business case only requires seasonal production, heating can sometimes be avoided by shortening the season instead — that is a commercial decision, not only a technical one.
Where this sits in fertigation equipment procurement
Fertigation equipment covers injection (venturi, dosing pump or dosing unit), stock tanks, EC/pH control and the dosing channels needed for the crop recipe — the channel count and injection accuracy required drive most of the cost difference between offers.
Typical procurement searches this answers: fertigation equipment · fertigation system for greenhouse · dosing unit vs venturi injector · EC pH control fertigation · greenhouse cooling system · pad and fan vs fogging
Inputs that change the answer
- Night minima across the intended production window
- Crop minimum temperature
- Humidity control strategy
- Fuel or electricity cost
What this answer does not settle
Heating load must be calculated from the envelope, screens and local design temperature, not estimated per hectare.
