Facility design support

We apply engineering and process fundamentals to help our clients design and operate more productive facilities.

For either a new buildout or a redesign, we take a thoughtful approach to your building project by ensuring that the completed facility optimizes its energy, water and other inputs.

We assess a design’s ability to maintain assumed targeted environmental parameters and provide an estimate of the annual energy costs associated with the HVAC equipment and cultivation specific process, such as lighting, fertigation system, etc. This assessment is based on agreed-upon conditions for parameters, such as:

  • Plant densities
  • Irrigation rates
  • Environmental conditions
  • Lighting systems
  • Mechanical systems
  • Sequences of operation

Using our energy modeling tool, we perform a detailed analysis of energy efficiency opportunities identified during the design review.

We compare alternative systems to the baseline, provide the energy impacts of the alternatives, the impact on maintaining or stabilizing the targeted environmental parameters, an opinion of cost for the alternative, and energy-savings based simple payback calculations. We also provide support during any and all phases of the utility incentive acquisition process.

Finally, we provide oversight of the commissioning process to ensure that all systems are operating and communicating as intended.

Our team members are national experts and bring unparalleled experience in their respective areas of expertise. Together, we help create some of the highest-performing grow facilities in North America. Let us help bring the quality of your grow build project to the next level.
