Closed System

Variable Cooling •  Dehumidification •  Heating • Complete Control

The precise climate control of an indoor grow with all the benefits of naturally lit growing. If you’re growing in a high humidity area or have concerns about pest and disease control in a highly-regulated region that requires a closed-style facility, this solution is for you.
Through an exclusive partnership, ArchSolar provides VRF and VAV style heating and cooling systems that ensure high quality production without compromising your operational costs.

Variable Refrigerant Flow

The Variable Refrigerant Flow Air Conditioning technology (VRF) utilizes variable control of the compressors that allow the compressors to run continuously at a very low energy mode. This translates to continuous cooling similar to chiller based systems and eliminates the energy spikes and high demand charges of a traditional AC system.

Variable Air Volume

Our systems also utilize a variable air volume (VAV) technology based on highly efficient magnetic drive blowers that run on 30% of the energy required of traditional roof top units. The blower can be run down to 10% which means low energy continuous cooling is available throughout the day without the costly switching on and off. Tightly controlled with sensors, the system is designed to run on very finely tuned set points for cooling and dehumidification. This means that the system can accomplish both high volume dehumidification and effective cooling on a single system using a minimal amount of energy.

What’s this mean for your grow?

By using both the VRF and the VAV technology in a single system, the capacity of the system can be reduced by 50-70% compared to a standard commercial air conditioning system.  The sizing of the system can be reduced by up to 40% compared to traditional rooftop HVAC saving on upfront capital costs as well.
