g+c- support teams work with greenhouse specialists and agronomists, often retained locally to decide the best mix of vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers (horticulture, floriculture) products that can be grown locally depending on soil, climate, water availability, demand center needs etc and then implement a mix of open land and closed - greenhouse based solutions.An effort is made to use locally available sustainble materials, local labor and recycled materials where possible.
The teams work hard to lower the costs of materials, erection etc, while trying to incorporate current technological solutions. The greenhouses designs can range from simple to complex prefabricated structures using steel, aluminum, glass, plastics in frames and glass or various flexible to rigid plastics. The local conditions, building codes, structural loads, environmental considerations, heating and cooling needs driven by types of flowers, plants, geographical locations are all factors taken into account.
The covering material g+c- uses includes specially prepared longer lasting ultraviolet light resistant polyethylene plastics, sometimes two layers thick with air insulation layer that lowers odds of wind induced flexing. These are differentiated from common polyethylene plastics in many ways including UV resistance, longer life, quality and dependability, special additives sometimes to reduce condensation and trap more infrared radiation i.e. heat.
