SIVAL d'Or: AGCULTURE by AGC presents Geysir® Diffuse

Description

Geysir® Diffuse: an energy and environmental innovation for horticulture

Geysir® Diffuse est le seul verre isolant avec une couche à basse émissivité (low-e) disponible sur le marché horticole. Ce verre novateur permet d’atteindre une valeur Ug exceptionnelle de 3.6 W/(m².K) en simple vitrage, offrant ainsi une isolation thermique remarquable pour une épaisseur de seulement 4 mm. Grâce à sa couche basse émissivité (low-e), qui agit comme un miroir en réfléchissant l’énergie infrarouge à l’intérieur des serres, Geysir® Diffuse réduit considérablement les pertes de chaleur. En plus de ses propriétés isolantes, cette nouvelle version de Geysir® intègre une technologie de diffusion de la lumière, augmentant l’uniformité lumineuse dans la serre et améliorant ainsi la croissance des cultures. De plus, ce verre ...

Geysir® Diffuse: an energy and environmental innovation for horticulture

Geysir® Diffuse is the only insulating glass with a low-emissivity (low-e) coating available on the horticultural market. This innovative glass achieves an exceptional Ug value of 3.6 W/(m².K) in single-glazing, offering remarkable thermal insulation for a thickness of just 4 mm. Thanks to its low-emissivity (low-e) coating, which acts like a mirror by reflecting infrared energy inside greenhouses, Geysir® Diffuse considerably reduces heat loss. In addition to its insulating properties, this new version of Geysir® incorporates light diffusion technology, increasing light uniformity in the greenhouse and thus improving crop growth. What's more, this glass can be easily installed on existing greenhouse structures, a far more affordable alternative to double-glazing, which often requires a complete overhaul of the structure. What's more, Geysir® Diffuse is eligible for C2E incentives, making it even more attractive to growers looking to reduce their energy impact.

Studies carried out by Wageningen University (WUR) have shown that Geysir® Diffuse can reduce greenhouse energy consumption by 20-25%. These results testify to the concrete impact of this product in reducing energy costs and CO2 emissions, a major issue at a time of energy transition and decarbonization objectives for greenhouses on a French and European scale.

As the only glass on the horticultural market to combine light diffusion with such advanced insulating properties, Geysir® Diffuse meets today's expectations in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency. With Geysir® Diffuse, we offer a solution that combines innovation, performance and respect for environmental commitments, positioning our company at the forefront of solutions for sustainable horticulture.
