Artificial intelligence can save nurseries one fifth of electricity bills
Gas and electricity prices have skyrocketed in recent months, for several nurseries in Denmark, this means laying off staff or turning the key. Now researchers at SDU have created a system that optimises lighting control in nurseries in relation to electricity prices, saving nurseries 20 percent on electricity bills. When Putin invaded Ukraine, he attacked not only his blue-yellow neighbour to the west, but also unintentionally the growing season in Danish nurseries. Since 24 February, gas prices have risen by 700 % and electricity prices have doubled. The nursery Knud Jepsen A/S, located in the Aarhus suburb of Hinnerup, is the world's largest producer of Kalanchoe, popularly known as Flaming Katy. The nursery is 120,000 m2. Grow lights are installed throughout the nursery.
