    Lowering grow house energy costs

    The main task of grow houses is to provide optimized conditions for plant development at the least cost.

    Although most modern grow houses are exceptional at managing energy from the sun, they have been forced to use unnecessarily expensive supplemental energy from natural gas, fossil fuel, space heaters, forced air, hot water, steam, and electricity.

    Until recently, there has not been efficient technology that allows grow houses to cost-effectively use geothermal energy, in conjunction with the sun or other light source, to provide heating and cooling for optimal plant development.

    Today, however, there are software products to help design, monitor, control and optimize the geothermal or hybrid system. This is achieved by using predictive algorithms to create optimal grow house conditions and reduce installation and energy costs by up to fifty percent. The energy savings pays for the initial capital costs and the annual energy savings continues for the lifetime of every grow house using the geothermal energy source for the next fifty to hundred years.

    Optimized geothermal grow houses are sustainable, renewable and year-round climate control systems that both heat and cool grow houses at a fraction of the economic and environmental costs of traditional systems. These systems simply use less energy by maximizing their own naturally occurring and renewable constant year-round heating and cooling supply.

    Greener optimized grow houses make better plants at less cost for greater profit. Why settle for less?
