Sybren Valkema was a prominent glass artist and teacher, born in 1916. Now, more than 100 years later, researchers working on the Art DATIS project aim to make his archives accessible to fellow researchers, artists and craftsmen.

“With Flexcrop, we not only add models to save energy, but we include a nuanced look at how certain we are about the amount of energy we can save. This makes the outcome of our models more relevant in horticultural practice in terms of purchasing decisions and energy management. The horticultural sector is shifting gears to meet climate goals. A lot of work is being done to make greenhouses more efficient – I believe our project to be a valuable addition.”
