Objective and Background
The Fundulea project was developed to create a reliable and efficient tomato production facility adapted to Romania’s seasonal climate conditions. The greenhouse combined modern glass greenhouse technology with practical energy management solutions, including a heating system with integrated buffer tank and CO₂ installation to support stronger crop performance and improved production consistency. The focus was not on overengineering the project, but on creating a smart and balanced cultivation environment that matched the grower’s operational needs.

Key Challenges
One of the main challenges was maintaining a stable climate during colder periods while keeping energy usage efficient and manageable. The integration of the heating infrastructure and buffer tank required careful coordination to ensure consistent temperatures throughout the greenhouse. At the same time, the climate strategy had to work effectively without relying on active cooling systems, making greenhouse design, ventilation, and automation especially important for crop stability.
