Establishing a National Hub for Smart Greenhouse Technology – Energy Saving Films

This research program seeks to reduce energy use and increase resource use efficiency by employing new light-blocking (Smart Glass; SG) and existing light-shifting (LLEAF) films in glasshouses operated by the protected cropping industry.

$3.5m project to trial prototype glasshouse films on climbing crops

A $3.5m FFSCRC project with Hort Innovation and LLEAF is trialling two greenhouse-film prototypes that have the potential to boost crop productivity, slash input costs and shrink the environmental footprint of Australia’s PC horticulture sector.

Smart glass-LLEAF project wrap-up: key findings and next steps

In the recently completed ‘Smart Glass’ project, scientists at Western Sydney University showed the energy-saving ability of SG ULR-80 and the yield-increasing potential of LLEAF. Next steps? To combine the strengths of both.
