Indoor Agriculture: Smart Greenhouse Environmental Monitoring and Control

Telaire - CO2 Sensors for Indoor Agriculture

Indoor agricultural facilities and greenhouses require proper environmental conditions for optimal plant growth and health. Most critical to productivity, quality, and energy conservation are the monitoring and control of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in combination with temperature, humidity, and ambient light (photosynthetically active radiation, or PAR).

CO2 is one of several key elements enabling photosynthesis and is therefore essential for plant growth. At ambient levels of CO2 (~400 parts per million, ppm), plants generally grow well. However, as CO2 concentrations are increased to ~1000 ppm and above, photosynthesis increases proportionately, resulting in more sugars and carbohydrates available for plant growth. Conversely, sub-ambient CO2 atmospheres caused by poor ventilation and tightly sealed structures retard plant vitality and development. In many cases, CO2 enrichment systems utilizing the byproducts of hydrocarbon fuel combustion or liquified/compressed CO2 tanks are deployed to augment sub-optimal CO2 concentrations.

Accurate and reliable CO2 measurement is essential for cost-effective and efficient operation of supplemental CO2 systems. The proper quantity and placement of CO2 sensors enables sophisticated wired or wireless indoor agriculture climate control system to monitor and maintain optimal CO2 setpoints in relation to other environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and PAR.
