One of the most difficult challenges in greenhouse CEA (controlled environment agriculture) is designing an appropriate ventilation system to maintain proper temperature and relative humidity
Strawberries are a beloved fruit, known for their sweet flavor and vibrant color. Growing strawberries in a greenhouse can enhance the process, allowing farmers and
Mushroom cultivation is more than just a niche farming practice—it’s a thriving sector with immense market potential. Whether you’re looking to tap into the high-profit
Exploring the synergy between wind energy and greenhouses presents a sustainable pathway for agricultural practices. This blog delves into how wind turbines, as a cornerstone
Like any business, greenhouses should be completely prepared for any unexpected emergencies, including power outages. For commercial greenhouses, a power outage is much more than an
Ceres was founded with a mission to create energy-efficient growing spaces that make net zero food production possible. To achieve this, we have designed greenhouses that are
As summer approaches and the outside temperatures begin to rise, the temperature inside your greenhouse will begin to rise with it. How do you
Designing a Ground to Air Heat Transfer System A Ground to Air Heat Transfer system– also called an Earth Battery, Earth Tubes, or a Climate Battery
Managing and balancing temperature and humidity in the greenhouse can be a source of frustration, further compounded by location, climate, greenhouse environmental control systems, and
A Ceres GAHT® (ground to air heat transfer) System is our patented geothermal climate control technology that has helped our growers maintain comfortable growing conditions,
Why an automated controller is better than a thermostat for your climate controlled greenhouse Ceres’ patented solar design and innovative climate control technologies enable us

At Ceres we are challenging the idea that “high tech” means “expensive” when it comes to greenhouse design. Between our patented passive solar structural design
How well do you understand temperature and relative humidity? Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) is used by growers to assess how dry the air is at
Summer is almost here! As outdoor temperatures begin to rise, greenhouse temperatures rise as well. Luckily, there are a few methods for reducing the amount
*While there is always something to learn from our blogs, we no longer design our facilities with Phase Change Material and we no longer supply
A climate battery is a ground to air heat exchanger, which provides year-round heating and cooling of solar greenhouses and other structures using the thermal
Year round greenhouses, or even those used for season extension, face the challenge of extreme temperature swings. A greenhouse structure can collect excessive amounts of
Growing in a year-round greenhouse often means contending with heat. For most crops, photosynthesis slows when temperatures exceed 95 F (35 C). As the dog-days
