- Most retrofit projects involve moving from single-tier HPS to multi-tier LED setups.
- Considerations during retrofitting include adjusting airflow, humidity, and cooling capacity to accommodate the increased canopy levels.
- How it's crucial to rethink mechanical system layout and size appropriately when retrofitting.
- The importance of environmental control outside of the cultivation rooms, such as in fertigation rooms, must be considered.
- Planning and investment are necessary for successful retrofitting, but the long-term benefits include increased production and efficiency.
- The process requires careful planning, investment, and adaptation to address structural, environmental, workflow, and efficiency challenges.
- Engaging with experts and leveraging innovative solutions can optimize facilities for vertical cultivation and maximize production potential.
