On 10 June 2014, Aalt Dijkhuizen, chairman of the jury presented the award during the official opening of GreenTech Amsterdam 2014, the first edition of the international tradeshow on horticulture technology. An international jury awarded two nominations this morning with a Category Award.
ID Kas® was designated as the Overall Winner because it concerns an innovative greenhouse concept with great eye for detail and taking all aspects into consideration. It has been developed in close collaboration with the end-user and shows fantastic results: energy savings up to 60% and an increased productivity. This sustainable, energy-efficient greenhouse uses double panes of glass with an anti-reflective coating.
Also, the concept consists of a completely new greenhouse construction, making all the elements of the ID Kas® fit perfectly. “The jury therefore considers the ID Kas® a new concept with a great future”, chairman Dijkhuizen stated. “Technokas, the developer of ID Kas® also had a second nomination (Daylight Greenhouse), emphasising its unique ability to innovate. A well-deserved Overall Winner!”
