Horticultural Lighting Design
Lighting costs form a significant portion of capital and operational costs of greenhouses and vertical gardens. Cerise365+GreenHouseDesigner™ is a tool that can plan effective and efficient horticultural lighting.
Cerise365+GreenHouseDesigner™ is an online tool for planning that enables users to determine luminaire installation plans and select the appropriate luminaire for their horticultural needs.
Cerise365+GreenHouseDesigner™ also allows designers to create greenhouse and vertical garden designs for luminaire installation planning without any prior CAD experience.
For greenhouses, Cerise365+GreenHouseDesigner™ utilizes the vast amount of available meteorological data to determine trends, weather patterns, and changes. Similarly, daylighting designs that maximize natural light, or reduce energy use can be generated. The software can be used to create greenhouse designs based on the lighting needs determined over the course of a year.
For convenience, Cerise365+GreenHouseDesigner™ is offered as a software-as-a-service product, and can be run on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
