Carmel Software is quoted in the latest April 2020 ASHRAE Journal cover article titled: "Load Calculations for Cannabis Grow Facilities". HVAC load calcs for grow facilities are calculated differently than conventional load calculations for office buildings or other related facilities. When calculating HVAC loads for office buildings, sensible loads are the driving force for calculating total loads, determining airflow, and for equipment selection. When calculating HVAC loads for grow facilities, latent loads are the driving force. Therefore, using a conventional load calculation software tool for grow facilities may produce inaccurate results. The ASHRAE Journal article explains many of these differences between conventional and grow room load calcs and also explains what types of equipment are required to properly condition grow rooms.

Carmel Software has developed a customized web-based HVAC load calculation tool for cannabis grow facilities. It is located here.
