An older greenhouse HVAC system can continue operating long after it stops delivering the efficiency, consistency or control a commercial grower needs. Fans still turn, boilers still produce heat and vents still open, but the growing environment may become increasingly difficult and expensive to manage.One zone may remain warmer than another. Humidity may rise overnight despite continuous equip...

Summer creates some of the most demanding operating conditions for commercial greenhouse growers. Long daylight hours can support rapid crop development, but intense solar radiation, high outdoor temperatures and rising humidity can quickly push a greenhouse beyond its ideal growing conditions.Unlike an open field, a greenhouse captures solar energy. This is beneficial during cool weather, but ...

For commercial greenhouse operators, profitability depends on far more than simply increasing production. Success comes from balancing crop performance, environmental control, labour management, and operating expenses. As energy prices continue to rise across Canada, many greenhouse owners are looking for practical ways to reduce overhead while maintaining the ideal growing conditions their cro...

Greenhouse HVAC system design for new builds is one of the most critical phases in developing a high-performance controlled environment agriculture facility. The decisions made at this stage will impact crop yield, energy efficiency, operational costs, and scalability for years to come. Unlike retrofits, new builds provide a unique opportunity to design a fully integrated system that aligns wit...

Greenhouse dehumidification and energy efficiency are two of the most critical and interconnected challenges facing modern greenhouse operators. In commercial greenhouses across Canada, humidity management directly impacts plant health, crop yield, disease pressure, and operational costs. At the same time, managing humidity without wasting energy has become increasingly important as electricity...
