Back to Basics: Our industry knows the acronym HVAC to mean heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Then for the refrigeration industry, we add the R — thus, HVACR. With the ever-increasing discussion and actual work within the cannabis cultivation space, we now add a D for dehumidification.
Why the emphasis on the D? As it turns out, a big part of the growth cycle of the cannabis plant is deeply rooted in the ability of the plant to absorb and rid itself of water vapor. Anytime we are dealing with an increased level of RH (relative humidity) and the controlling of it, dehumidification becomes a very critical point in the overall conversation. One unique aspect in this scenario is that the bulk of the “humidification” of the plant stems from the means of water delivery.
