Knitted screen adjusts to changing light conditions
April 4, 2013 By Brandi Cowen

A new Netherlands-based company has developed an innovative elastic, warp-knit textile for use in an intelligent system that balances sunlight, shade, temperature and humidity inside a greenhouse.
The elastic screen in Elasol’s OMBRA-DLS system stretches and retracts to control the amount and angle of light entering the greenhouse. According to Innovation in Textiles, the system is pro-solar “in its ability to work cooperatively with the power for the sun.”
