As cannabis legalization expands, the demand for energy to power lighting, irrigation, and HVAC systems for favorable growing conditions is on the rise – and so are energy costs. According to the Alliance to Save Energy, cannabis cultivation is an energy-intensive industry spending an estimated $6 billion annually on utilities. However, there are significant opportunities to reduce your facility’s energy consumption and protect your bottom line with energy-efficient best practices, such as LED lighting, automation irrigation solutions, and a high-efficiency cannabis chiller design.
In this article, we’ll profile energy- and cost-saving cannabis chiller options to consider when designing the best system for your cannabis extraction or grow room, including:
- EC condenser fan motors
- Floating head pressure
- Heat reclaim
- Pump VFD
- Electronic expansion valves (EEVs)
- Redundancy options
- MCS microcontroller
- System alerts
Continue reading to learn how these energy-efficient cannabis chiller options can help reduce operational energy consumption – and your utility bills.
