By tackling important issues like heat accumulation, humidity, and irregular airflow, HVLS (High Volume, Low Speed) fans are essential to vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture (CEA). These large-diameter fans lower HVAC energy consumption, improve humidity control, increase CO₂ uptake, and guarantee uniform air distribution. Better crop health, quicker growth, and significant energy savings are the results of their application. HVLS fans are scalable, silent, and ideal for high-bay greenhouses and warehouse farms because they maintain ideal microclimates.
