EnergieKas Helena van Doeverenplantsoen, Netherlands www.microclimates.nl/microclimates-for-rooftops-copy Microclimates for Rooftops For the EnergieKas, the Roof Plantery, a 120 m2 greenhouse on a 2000 m2 roof in the middle of the Old Center of The Hague, the Laboratory for Microclimates has built six mini greenhouses to grow tropical edible and usable crops throughout the year that usually come from far away. In this way, residents of The Hague and the surrounding area can get acquainted with edible cacti or succulents and get started with mini microclimate greenhouses for home windowsills. The Energy Greenhouse is a project by architects Iris Schutten and Erik de Jong and for innovative heating solutions we work together with the WarmteLab of Joeri Oudshoorn.
