The ideal growing environment requires equipment and controls that properly maintain temperature and humidity levels, and also air movement.
When these factors are not properly controlled, moisture can suffocate the plants, preventing them from breathing and also leading to mold, fungus, and mildew, destroying your crops. On top, when the climate is not maintained at the optimal environment the plant growth cycle may be affected, reducing the product yield and impacting your revenue.
To avoid condensation, many growers add portable dehumidifiers to the room. These units operate independently of the building’s HVAC system, and end up generating heat while removing moisture, forcing farmers to oversize their AC units in an attempt to remove the extra load, draining energy and profits.
