1. Fluorescence as a biological feedback signal for energy optimising spectra for greenhouse LED-illumination
Abstract : The introduction of LED-lighting for greenhouses has enabled new ways of controlling the light, both spectrum and intensity, to save energy and increase crop production. We have investigated a new method of automatically tuning the spectrum based on biological feedback. READ MORE

2. Chlorophyll fluorescence as a biological feedback signal -for optimized plant growth conditions and stress diagnosis
Abstract : The use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of traditional high pressure sodium lamps, in greenhouses and indoor growing facilities, enables tuning and optimization of both light intensity and light spectrum. This opens for an energy saving potential not possible otherwise. READ MORE

3. Energy Management in Large scale Solar Buildings : The Closed Greenhouse Concept
Abstract : Sustainability has been at the centre of global attention for decades. One of the most challenging areas toward sustainability is the agricultural sector. Here, the commercial greenhouse is one of the most effective cultivation methods with a yield per cultivated area up to 10 times higher than for open land farming. READ MORE

4. Year-round production of forest seedlings under LED lamps : Biological and energetic implications of indoor cultivation
Abstract : Year-round cultivation of forest seedlings under light emitting diodes (LED) is a technology receiving increased attention from nurseries in the boreal forest regions. In these areas, the climate is characterized by strong seasonal fluctuations, resulting in short vegetation periods with narrow time windows for seedling transplanting and outdoor growth. READ MORE

5. Approaches for mitigating the environmental impact of greenhouse horticulture
Abstract : Greenhouse horticulture creates environmental issues of different kinds. Use of energy for heating and lighting and pollution by pesticides and nutrients are major known problems, but impacts on the landscape and light emissions from supplementary lighting have also attracted attention.
