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.

Introduction to Vertical
Farming and CEA
• Vertical farming: cultivating crops in layers
within a building
• Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA):
regulating all growth conditions (light,
temperature, humidity, CO₂, etc.)
• Objective: achieve highest yield, lowest
resource use, year-round production

What Are HVLS Fans?
• HVLS = High Volume, Low Speed
• 7–24-foot diameter fans
• Displace enormous amounts of air
slowly and with minimal force
• Created for persistent, broad-area
airflow
Benefits of HVLS Fans in
C• UEnAiform air distribution across crop
levels
• Reduces temperature stratification
• Improves humidity control
• Enhances CO₂ distribution and uptake
• Supports energy efficiency by reducing
HVAC load
Application in Vertical Farms
• Mounted above or between grow racks
• Suits warehouse farms and high-bay
greenhouses
• Promotes optimal microclimates at each
tier
• Quiet running — low worker or plant
disruption
Case Studies
• 20–30% HVAC energy savings reported
• Improved crop uniformity and reduced
disease
• Faster plant growth due to better
environmental control
Market Analysis
• HVLS fans are an indispensable
component of today's CEA systems
• Aid in optimizing plant health, energy
consumption, and productivity
• Scalable and versatile to suit various
farm configurations
• Take HVLS fans into consideration as
part of an integrated climate plan
