Climate Change, whether man-made or natural, whether global heating or global cooling, has had an impact on agricultural yields. As a result, food prices are set to increase in both the long-term and foreseeable future. Additionally, consumers want to know that their food is local, fresh, tasty, nutritious, and free of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

To date, local food can only be grown in open fields and greenhouses with a temperate climate. In some areas it is too hot to grow in summer, while in others, it is too cold grow in winter. As a result, greenhouse design is critical to year-round production of local produce.

This design of greenhouses boils down to two philosophical approaches:

Traditional – Use brute force and massive energy to heat and cool the atmosphere within the greenhouse to compensate for the poor insulating capacity of the greenhouse structural envelope, and/or vent air into the atmosphere

HydroHaus - Use the Dynamic Greenhouse structural envelope to prevent the buildup of heat and cold within the structure, and treat the smaller differential buildup of heat and cold with less energy

In this respect, traditional greenhouse design treats the symptom rather than curing the problem. On the other hand, HydroHaus provides an elegant solution with massive operational savings because it requires up to 80% less energy to operate.

When combined with our Automated Growing System, the Dynamic Greenhouse provides the most cost-effective solution because revenues are generated year round.
