Passive Thermal Protection for Living Environments
Fore Energy delivers passive thermal solutions that protect people and plants from temperature swings.
Two Approaches to Greenhouse Temperature Control
Traditional HVAC Systems
Phase Change Materials (PCM) — Passive Thermal Storage
Phase Change Materials (PCM) — Passive Thermal Storage
Traditional HVAC systems actively heat and cool greenhouse environments using fuel, electricity, and mechanical equipment. These systems offer precise control but require continuous energy input and ongoing maintenance.
In environments with significant temperature swings, HVAC systems can
experience frequent cycling and peak demand loads, which contribute to
higher operating costs—especially in large commercial greenhouses with
limited thermal mass.
As a result, HVAC systems are often most effective when supported by
passive thermal stabilization that reduces overall load.
- Reactive heating and cooling
- Continuous fuel or electricity us
- Temperature overshoot and cycling
- Mechanical wear and failure risk
- Stressful temperature variation for plant

Phase Change Materials (PCM) — Passive Thermal Storage
Phase change materials (PCM) provide passive thermal energy storage by absorbing heat as temperatures rise and releasing it as temperatures fall. This process occurs naturally, without motors, controls, or
active energy input.
By smoothing temperature fluctuations, PCM helps reduce peak demand,
limit heater cycling, and improve overnight temperature stability—
particularly during shoulder seasons and colder conditions.
Once installed, PCM systems operate continuously with minimal
maintenance and no ongoing energy consumption.
- Passive, always-on thermal buffering
- No emissions or energy input
- Smooth temperature transitions
- Stable overnight plant conditions
- No moving parts or failure points
