When designing HVAC systems for controlled environment agriculture (CEA), engineers and equipment manufacturers should plan for the whole spectrum of load profiles and operating conditions. A good understanding of how the psychrometrics vary from seed to harvest is paramount for optimizing yield and minimizing energy consumption.
By giving attendees a basic understanding of psychrometrics (the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures), growers and investors can learn how to optimize their growth potential and become more environmentally friendly.
