According to Scott Thompson, Northeast Regional Sales Manager, Commercial Division at Prospiant, Dual Atrium offers a protected greenhouse environment with convenient outdoor access for crop conditioning and steering.
“The Dual Atrium works well as a passive-cooled house with double the roof ventilation of the Vail Atrium. Unique roof vents open upward and outward for air removal and to prevent heat build-up for optimal air mixing without crop stress,” Thompson says. Crack the vents during storms without fear of rain getting in the house. With ample light for crops, the Dual Atrium is a great choice for multi-tier production.”
