Controlled Environment Agriculture is growing in popularity and market needs are requiring that system efficiency is improved. In this seminar, we will focus on the different design requirements and internal loads for plant-occupied spaces in comparison to people-occupied spaces. We will then review types and considerations for Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Dehumidification (HVACD) air systems, air handlers with air-to-air energy recovery, and other enhancements or considerations for improved efficiency.
