Fore Energy

One of the biggest lessons we've learned is that greenhouses don't simply need more heat.

They need more consistency.

We believe the future of greenhouse thermal management won't be defined by larger heating systems or higher peak temperatures. It will be defined by how effectively growers can capture, retain, and manage the energy their greenhouse already receives every single day.

That's ultimately why we've become so passionate about thermal storage.

One of the biggest lessons we've learned is that the future of greenhouse heating probably won't be defined by larger furnaces, higher BTU ratings, or more sophisticated heating equipment.

We believe it will be defined by how intelligently growers manage the energy their greenhouse already receives every single day.

Every morning, the sun provides an incredible amount of thermal energy completely free of charge. Our job isn't to create more of it. Our job is to keep more of it working after the sun goes down.

That's ultimately why we've become so passionate about thermal storage.

Most Greenhouse Heating Conversations Begin With Equipment. We Think They Should Begin With Energy. One of the first questions people ask us is usually straightforward: "What's the best way to heat my greenhouse?" It's a fair question. Heating is one of the largest operating expenses for greenhouse....

David ToupsThe Most Important Number Inside a Greenhouse May Not Be the Temperature. It May Be How Much That Temperature Changes. One of the biggest misconceptions I've seen while talking with greenhouse operators is how often conversations focus on temperature—and how rarely they focus on tempera...

We don't believe the future of greenhouse thermal management will be defined by larger heaters. We believe it will be defined by making better use of the energy greenhouses already collect every single day. That's ultimately why we've become so interested in thermal storage

Sometimes the Most Important Question Isn't How You Heat a Greenhouse. It's How Quickly It Loses Heat. One of the biggest misconceptions I've come across while talking with greenhouse operators is that most conversations begin with the heater. I think they should begin with the heat that's already i...

We don't see phase change materials as another greenhouse product.

We see them as part of a larger shift in how people think about energy.

For decades we've measured heating performance by asking how much heat we could produce. We believe the next generation of greenhouse design will increasingly be measured by how effectively we capture, retain, and reuse the energy that's already available.

That's the future that excites us.

Phase Change Materials Don't Create Heat. They Help Greenhouses Make Better Use of the Heat They Already Receive. When people first hear the phrase phase change material, they often assume it's some kind of advanced heating technology. It isn't. In fact, one of the biggest misconceptions we've encou...

If someone asks us whether phase change materials will reduce their heating costs, we don't think the most honest answer is simply "yes."

Our answer is, "Let's first understand how your greenhouse behaves."

Every greenhouse is different. Every climate is different. Every growing operation has different objectives.

We believe thermal storage delivers the greatest value when it's designed around the environment it's supporting rather than treated as a universal solution.

That's how we've always approached the conversation, and it's how we intend to continue approaching it.

The Honest Answer Isn't "Yes." It's "It Depends"—And That's Exactly Where the Conversation Should Start. One of the most common questions we hear isn't about phase change materials themselves. It's much simpler. "Will this actually lower my heating bill?" We understand why that's the first questio...
