Tour of an Energy-Efficient Passive Solar Commercial Greenhouse in Bend, Oregon

Welcome to Tour Ceres with Josh, the video series where Josh tours our commercial greenhouses so you can see how they operate.

We’re back with our greenhouse design expert, Josh, as he gives us a glimpse of a 30’x92′ HighYield™ Kit commercial greenhouse in Bend, Oregon. This greenhouse has a 10’x92′ head house attached to its north wall which contains different rooms for plant processing post-harvest. Watch the video to find out what else makes this greenhouse so efficient and be sure to subscribe to our Youtube channel for more greenhouse content!

all right today’s July 25th it is 4:30

0:00:09.510,0:00:14.210
in the afternoon and we are in Bend

0:00:11.490,0:00:18.330
Oregon in the miracle greens greenhouse

0:00:14.210,0:00:20.310
this greenhouse is a 30-foot deep by 92

0:00:18.330,0:00:23.519
foot east to west high-yield greenhouse

0:00:20.310,0:00:27.269
kit with a 10 foot attached north head

0:00:23.519,0:00:28.680
house this greenhouse has 10-foot eaves

0:00:27.269,0:00:31.949
which is one of our standard eave

0:00:28.680,0:00:35.070
heights but sits on a two-foot concrete

0:00:31.949,0:00:37.140
knee wall giving us 12 feet of height to

0:00:35.070,0:00:39.960
the bottom of the truss courts it is a

0:00:37.140,0:00:43.020
very roomy greenhouse lots of space for

0:00:39.960,0:00:45.329
growing then especially in the summer

0:00:43.020,0:00:47.610
when cooling is needed is incredibly dry

0:00:45.329,0:00:50.430
our weather station today saying it’s

0:00:47.610,0:00:52.579
seven percent humidity outside the wet

0:00:50.430,0:00:54.800
wall that you can see behind me is

0:00:52.579,0:00:58.199
incredibly effective in this climate

0:00:54.800,0:00:59.879
it’s 85 outside right now and they’re

0:00:58.199,0:01:01.739
not even running plants which also helps

0:00:59.879,0:01:03.960
with cooling but we were just sitting in

0:01:01.739,0:01:05.939
the greenhouse at 66 degrees until we

0:01:03.960,0:01:08.189
turned all the fans off to shoot this

0:01:05.939,0:01:12.270
video this greenhouse has full light

0:01:08.189,0:01:15.650
deprivation intake louvers wet wall vent

0:01:12.270,0:01:15.650
and exhaust fans

0:01:16.180,0:01:20.830
they are currently vegging in the north

0:01:18.700,0:01:23.259
head house in the in the small bedroom

0:01:20.830,0:01:25.270
and in the next few weeks they are going

0:01:23.259,0:01:26.950
to start filling the greenhouse for

0:01:25.270,0:01:31.240
production for the miracle greens

0:01:26.950,0:01:32.770
dispensary a few really nice features

0:01:31.240,0:01:35.590
about this greenhouse as I said are the

0:01:32.770,0:01:38.920
north head house this is also controlled

0:01:35.590,0:01:40.360
with our unity controller we’ll get some

0:01:38.920,0:01:43.330
close shots you might be able to see

0:01:40.360,0:01:44.979
some of the sensors hanging in the

0:01:43.330,0:01:48.039
greenhouse we’re reading temperature

0:01:44.979,0:01:50.229
humidity light levels throughout the

0:01:48.039,0:01:56.110
greenhouse this greenhouse will also be

0:01:50.229,0:01:57.580
lit with fluence leds dimmable so this

0:01:56.110,0:02:02.020
greenhouse will be able to fluctuate

0:01:57.580,0:02:03.670
with cloud cover just a full Sun they’ll

0:02:02.020,0:02:07.299
dim up they’ll dim down it’s gonna be a

0:02:03.670,0:02:09.250
highly reactive greenhouse allowing for

0:02:07.299,0:02:12.660
optimal growing but also maximum

0:02:09.250,0:02:12.660
efficiency in the growing process
