The College of New Caledonia and Endura-Form Plastic Solutions Ltd. are collaborating on an appliedresearch project to research the use of modular heated flooring panels for application in the horticulture sector.Endura-Form is a company based in Chilliwack, British Columbia, and manufactures injection-molded heatedplastic panels that are used for floor heating in a wide range of industrial sectors. These panels are made of100% recycled materials, are strong enough to support heavy industrial equipment, and keep surfaces warmand snow-free at a low cost. Endura-Form panels are currently used in sectors including oil & gas, fuellingstations, and aviation.Endura-Form now seeks to develop a lighter panel that can be used in a range of lighter duty applicationsincluding residential and horticulture. The heated panels show tremendous potential for heating greenhouses incold climates and extending the growing season. College staff and students will lead a research project thatwill test the current line of Endura-Form panels in a greenhouse application, in order to provide data thatEndura can use to develop their new line of panels. The project will take place at the College's research andteaching greenhouse in Quesnel, BC, and will involve students in our Horticulture program.

新喀里多尼亚学院和Endura-Form塑料解决方案有限公司正在合作开展一个应用研究项目，研究在园艺部门使用模块式加热地板镶板的问题，Endura-Form是一家总部设在不列颠哥伦比亚省奇利瓦克的公司，生产注塑加热塑料镶板，用于许多工业部门的地板加热。这些面板由100%回收材料制成，坚固到足以支撑重型工业设备，并以低成本保持表面温暖和无雪。Endura-Form面板目前用于石油和天然气、加油站和航空等行业。Endura-Form现在寻求开发一种更轻的面板，可用于住宅和园艺等一系列更轻的应用。加热板显示出在寒冷气候下加热温室和延长生长季节的巨大潜力。学院的工作人员和学生将领导一个研究项目，该项目将在温室应用中测试目前的Endura-Form面板系列，以便为Endura开发新的面板系列提供数据。该项目将发生在学院的研究和教学温室在奎内尔，不列颠哥伦比亚省，并将涉及学生在我们的园艺计划。
