Role in the project
The high experience of TTZ engineers in the field of energy will be used to propose the configuration of the optimised reference greenhouse models required for the energy auditing software tool. The will also contribute in the identification of the energy critical points of the greenhouse energy consuming equipment. TTZ will assist other RTDs in initiation of EQS and creation of optimisation guidelines. The wide range of relation to the industrial and scientific company will allow TTZ to play a key role in the exploitation and dissemination of the project results and training the IAG groups. Besides, TTZ will also carry out the scientific management of the project.
