The world’s first pressurized greenhouse is being built in Canada

said Angela Solano, CEO and co-founder of Rimaco Greens. The system operates without air exchange with the outside environment, using closed water, air and condensate management loops. A key element is energy-efficient heating and cooling with thermal energy storage in the water mass. The greenhouse is equipped with a heat exchanger with 246 m³ of water, which allows for stable temperature and humidity control, as well as returning condensate to the production cycle. “We manage temperature, humidity and water recovery completely in a closed environment. “Pressure maintenance does not allow any unfiltered air from outside,” Solano added. According to Ricardo Solano, the company’s CTO and co-founder, the project uses energy technologies from the oil and gas industry: “We do not use air conditioning or ventilation, but instead manage the climate using stored thermal energy and integrated air and water flows.” The development has received a grant from the ...
