Energy saving films for smart greenhousesThis research program, based at the National Vegetable Protected Cropping Centre (NVPCC) at Western Sydney University, investigates the application of Smart Glass (SG) and LLEAF light-shifting films in commercial glasshouses. These technologies aim to block or redirect specific wavelengths of light to reduce internal heat load, improve photosynthetic efficiency, and minimise energy use. The project trials these materials under real production conditions, evaluating their impact on crop performance and environmental sustainability.
