A critical analysis is presented on efficient thermal environment controls for sustainable indoor vertical farming. Appropriate energy-efficient and green energy-based solutions are still lacking in vertical farming operations. Precision modeling tools need to develop for efficient thermal environment controls and equipment design.
The energy-intensive nature and high carbon footprints of the industry 26, 27 make it difficult for CEA, especially vertical indoor farming, to be sustainable. Energy associated with artificial lighting, temperature control, and ventilation accounts for about 25% of the operating costs of large vertical farms in the United States.
Reducing energy consumption with precision control, efficient building envelopes, and integrating renewable energy would make indoor farming more environmentally friendly and add a bonus of reducing operating costs. Artificial lighting is the most critical and energy-intensive component for optimal and quality products in IVF.
The gas-burning heaters are efficient for quick indoor temperature control and CO2 supplementation but may introduce water vapor and other toxic gases like carbon monoxide due to incomplete combustion of fuels. The solar thermal system with storage tanks and different configurations of heat pumps could be more sustainable solutions for IVF.
Our standardized photovoltaic container and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
