Grow Room Design & Construction

Easy Installation

Independent construction of modular cleanroom components allows the removal of grow room walls or individual panels without disturbing adjacent panels, flooring, or ceiling systems. Quick disassembly and the ability to relocate grow rooms reduces labor burdens and favors ever-changing production layouts. Downtime and disruption of adjacent workspaces or grow rooms are minimal. The flexibility of modular designs allows the retrofitting of new structures around previously existing HVAC, electrical, and production systems.

Unique containment rooms for clones, flowers, and seedlings provide environmental controls at each stage of the maturity cycle. Each room is built with prefabricated containment walls self-support the ceilings, electrical, and calibrated for the HVAC system.

Modular Walls & Ceilings

Modular wall panels demonstrate unhindered control over exterior room dimensions and environmental conditioning. Insulation panels with variable R-value help balance cost and prevent over insulation. The ability to integrate electrical conduits, product pass-throughs, windows, ducting, air filters, and storage cabinets closes performance gaps.

A modular installation is faster, requires minimal tools, and requires no sawing or cutting. Scheduled delivery of pre-assembled components allows project management around operation-as-usual. Space and construction staging is minimal.

Air Showers

Air showers prepare cannabis cultivators for grow room entry by pressurizing air to remove any contaminants, mites, or mold spores that cling to garments. They are three primary designs for air showers: a step in step out design, a straight-through design, and air showers for parts and equipment that enters a clean space. The advantage of a straight-through design is that it helps maintain pressure cascades and eliminates flow-through of any invasive particulate. Learn More.

HVAC Systems

Microenvironments within larger structures often lack proper insulation and air conditioning systems. Grow rooms need a lot of air to regulate temperature, air purity, and humidity. In most facilities, air systems consume over 60% of all the site power. As a general rule of thumb, the cleaner the grow room needs to be, the more air it will use.

To reduce the expense of modifying the ambient temperature or humidity, AHU (air handling units) are designed to recirculate about 80% air through the room, removing particulate contamination as is it generated and whilst keeping the temperature and humidity stable. A well-designed air handling system delivers both “fresh” and “recirculated” filtered clean air into the cleanroom so that it flushes the particles more efficiently.

Positive Pressure for Medical Grow Rooms

Positive pressure grow rooms elevate room pressure so that outside air is not reintroduced if walls and panels have gaps, seams, and leaks in ceiling fixtures or conduits. Higher air pressure in a centralized room ensures that dirty air from surrounding rooms does not permeate into cleaner spaces, thus helping cannabis growers prevent cross-contamination via air currents or human-borne traffic.

Power Distribution

Power distribution modules provide circuit protection and large-scale device amplification including support for lights and fan filters. Remote air balancing systems route fan filter controls to a central control for macro and micro-adjustments.

Throughout the life of a filter, particulate slowly clogs air passage and air velocity decreases. Small speed adjustments ensure that the growing operation maintains an ideal air exchange and pressure cascade throughout each grow room or processing area. Independent velocity control also extends the life of the filters by eliminating unnecessary airflow loads while also decreasing energy costs.
