It's generally accepted that well commissioned buildings will operate better. This becomes more important when dealing with indoor agriculture facilities. There are many systems in these buildings that must operate congruently and in symphony to provide an indoor grow environment that promotes plant propagation and vitality. In addition to building systems, it is important to commission the growing process before plants are introduced into the space. This session presents the different life support systems for plants that must work in concert. Speakers compare and clarify the differences between whole building and horticulture commissioning related to these buildings.
