Indoor Farming Climate Systems

Just like humans, plants breathe, and the air should therefore facilitate that. We are steering our climate systems on temperature and relative humidity. Therefore, a well-designed HVAC system is crucial for optimal plant production.

To have a uniform climate in your growing area, we will calculate the right air flow system and speed of air. Too high speeds cause stress within the plants and reduce the quality and yield of production.

It is often forgotten that the air must be dehumidified, which is perhaps the most expensive component of the climate system. HVAC ensures that humidity is controlled and constant for optimal plant conditions.

HVAC ensures that air circulates properly in the farm, which ensures the correct CO2 and oxygen levels for good plant growth. Properly designed air circulation can help prevent mold and rot on the farm.

CO2 is another important part of the climate system. We can design systems in which CO2 is dosed with tanks or systems that extract CO2 from the outside air. Generally, CO2 levels in a vertical farm are set at 800-1000 ppm. Our engineers and climate partners are ready to support you and your project with accurate calculations and designs.
