Independent CEA consultancy

Design, audit and optimisation of CEA projects through digital twins and climate modelling

We help investors, growers, operators and agro-industrial developers decide which technology to install, what yield to expect, what energy consumption to assume and which technical risks could undermine project profitability.

We do not sell equipment. We evaluate technological decisions with independent, quantified judgement, focused on the real viability of the project.

About

GENERANDI GreenTECH

Independent judgement

We evaluate technologies, configurations and strategies without depending on suppliers or manufacturers.

Quantified decisions

We translate climate, crop, energy and operation into comparable scenarios and actionable KPIs.

Real viability

We connect technical design with CAPEX, OPEX, expected yield and operational risk.

Generandi GreenTech exists to close a critical gap in CEA project development: many decisions are still shaped by suppliers, technology trends or weakly comparable climate extrapolations. Our role is to provide independent, quantified and technically sound judgement to define robust greenhouse configurations before investing, building or scaling an operation.

We integrate climate data, energy simulation, crop physiology and techno-economic analysis to compare scenarios, anticipate risks and make decisions with greater confidence.

What we do

Technical services for high-impact CEA decisions

We support greenhouse projects from initial assessment through operational optimisation, combining climate analysis, technology design, simulation and techno-economic judgement.

01

Technical due diligence

We assess the technical viability of CEA projects, identifying design, climate, technology, energy and operational risks before investing or acquiring assets.

02

Climate studies and crop strategy

We analyse radiation, temperature, humidity, VPD, thermal demand, ventilation and water availability to define productive strategies tailored to each environment.

03

Independent technology selection

We compare ventilation, heating, cooling, screens, CO₂, LED lighting, dehumidification, HVAC and fertigation alternatives against production and profitability targets.

04

Conceptual design and technology matrix

We define greenhouse configurations, systems and operating criteria to align climate, crop, energy, investment and scalability.

05

Digital twin simulation

We build physical-productive models to compare technology scenarios, estimate consumption, detect climatic bottlenecks and quantify impacts on production, quality and profitability.

06

Audit and operational optimisation

We analyse existing facilities to improve energy efficiency, productivity, water use, climate control and techno-economic performance.

07

Investment, tender and expansion support

We prepare technical criteria, scenario comparisons, KPIs and recommendations for investors, developers, funds, governments and agro-industrial groups.

Digital twins applied to CEA

Models to decide before building, investing or scaling

For Generandi GreenTech, a digital twin is not a 3D visualisation. It is a physical-productive model that integrates climate, crop, technology, energy and operation to simulate scenarios and anticipate the techno-economic behaviour of a project. It allows configurations to be compared, consumption to be estimated, climatic limits to be foreseen, sensitivity to be analysed, and impact on production, quality, efficiency and profitability to be quantified.

Technology comparison

Evaluation of different ventilation, cooling, heating, screen, CO₂, lighting and dehumidification configurations.

Productive KPIs

Estimates of expected yield, kg/m², quality, transpiration and crop response.

Energy and water KPIs

Electrical consumption, thermal demand, kg/kWh, L/kg and CO₂ efficiency.

Economic KPIs

CAPEX, OPEX, operating margin, payback and sensitivity to prices, energy and yield.

Who we work with

We support those who decide on complex CEA projects

We work with organisations that need to evaluate, design, finance, build or optimise greenhouse projects across diverse climates and markets.

01

Growers and operators

To improve yield, energy efficiency, crop quality and operational stability of new or existing facilities.

02

Investors and agro-industrial funds

To assess technical risks, CAPEX/OPEX, profitability scenarios and viability before committing capital.

03

Developers and agro-industrial groups

To design scalable, comparable projects adapted to climate, crop, market and expansion strategy.

04

Governments and institutions

To define technified agricultural projects with food security, water efficiency, climate adaptation and regional development criteria.

05

Builders and technology companies

To validate configurations, contrast design hypotheses and reinforce proposals with independent technical analysis.

PhD Agricultural Engineer · Technical Director, Generandi GreenTech

An international reference in greenhouse technology, with more than 25 years of experience in design, assessment and optimisation of CEA projects across diverse climates and productive contexts. His work combines applied research, technical consulting and model development to improve climate control, energy efficiency, productivity and economic viability of high-tech facilities.

  • Natural ventilation and climate control
  • Energy efficiency and thermal demand
  • Cover materials and radiation transmission
  • Heating, evaporative cooling and screens
  • CO₂, LED lighting and dehumidification
  • Crop physiology and transpiration
  • Digital twins and CEA scenario simulation
  • Techno-economic project evaluation
"Every CEA project must be evaluated from its climate, its crop, its technology and its operating model. There are no universal solutions; there are well-justified configurations."

Methodology

From technical uncertainty to a comparable investment decision

Our approach translates climatic, productive, energy and economic variables into scenarios that enable more precise decisions.

01

Climate diagnosis

We analyse local climate, radiation, temperature, humidity, VPD, water availability and energy constraints.

02

Crop strategy

We define productive goals, physiological needs, production windows, expected quality and climate control requirements.

03

Technology matrix

We compare alternatives for structure, cover, ventilation, cooling, heating, screens, CO₂, lighting, dehumidification, HVAC and fertigation.

04

Scenario simulation

We model configurations to estimate yield, energy consumption, water demand, climatic limits and operational sensitivity.

05

Techno-economic KPIs

We translate results into kg/m², kg/kWh, L/kg, CAPEX, OPEX, operating margin, payback and critical risks.

06

Recommendation and roadmap

We deliver an independent technical recommendation, comparable scenarios and a roadmap to advance with design, investment, tender or operation.

Decision indicators

KPIs that connect technology, operation and investment

In CEA projects, the decision is not only technical. Every configuration must be justified by its impact on production, efficiency, operating cost and return.

International experience

A global outlook adapted to each climate

Generandi GreenTech works on CEA projects in highly diverse climatic contexts, where technological decisions must adapt to radiation, temperature, humidity, water availability and energy cost at each location. Rather than replicating solutions by country, we analyse the climatic and operational behaviour of each project to define viable, comparable strategies.

  • Arid and semi-arid
  • Cold continental
  • Humid subtropical
  • High radiation
  • Water scarcity
