RIPE (Rapid Installation Process for ETFE) demonstrating the benefits of utilising advanced EFTE glazing materials in commercial greenhouses

创新的玻璃膜，如ETFE，可以为温室作物带来显著的好处。实验研究证实，ETFE是受保护作物园艺的最佳材料，最大限度地提高了光和紫外线的透过率，最大限度地减少了能源消耗，同时提供了非常长的寿命和对气候破坏的抵抗力。**演进成长解决方案**已经确认了专利屋顶安装系统的创新概念验证的好处(‘**RIPE--ETFE快速安装流程**’)。RIPE将为建筑商提供一种有效的方法，以比传统玻璃模型更低的成本在温室屋顶上处理和安装ETFE薄膜。最终，RIPE的目标是推动英国成为园艺技术和农业生产力可持续发展方面的全球领先者。Evolve将利用这种截然不同的GH环境作为基础，向国际受众整合英国园艺技术的多个新发展，以及其他农业和模块化商业建筑应用。

Innovative glazing films such as ETFE can offer significant benefits to greenhouse crops. Experimental studies confirm that ETFE is the optimal material for protected crop horticulture, maximising light and UV transmission and minimising energy use, whilst providing very long lifespans and resistance to climatic damage. **Evolve Growing Solutions** have already confirmed the benefits of the innovation proof of concept for a patented roof installation system ('**RIPE -- Rapid Installation Process for ETFE**'). RIPE will provide builders with an effective method to handle and install ETFE film on greenhouse roofs at lower cost level than the traditional glass model. Ultimately, RIPE aims to promote the UK as a worldwide leader in horticultural technology and sustainability in agricultural productivity. Evolve will use this radically different GH environment as the basis to coalesce multiple new UK horticultural technical developments to an international audience, as well as other agricultural and modular commercial building applications.
