Climate & Financial Studies
These studies for new or existing protected cropping or hydroponic projects cover the following aspects:

The proposal is essentially a case-study to determine the production potential and capital costs that could be presented to a financial institution (or others) as a full business plan, and includes the following:

1. Detailed climate study for your location (over at least the last 15 years) that explores the following:
   Max, Min and Average Temperature, Humidity, Cloudy Days, Sunshine Hours, Daily Radiation (includes data tables and graphs)
2. A study on the mean daily and annual energy requirements of the location, including a comparison of the average energy use in % & GJ.
3. Above data is factored into Dutch modelling software (Tomsim) to predict production potential for different CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels, radiation levels and average 24hour temperatures for each location.
4. A full 'EBIT' (earnings before interest and taxes) and 'ROC' (return on capital) study for your size project. (with summary)
5. A two page pricing summary (excel spreadsheet) that allows user to individually select each technology item proposed, that reveals total project capital costs, cost per m² and % age of total.
6. This climate and financial proposal can be tailored to suit all greenhouse crops.

This information (collated over a number of weeks) is a powerful tool that models potential production and financial viability for your new or extended greenhouse project.
