Our mission is to elevate the greenhouse industry by integrating cutting-edge technology R-30 Insulated roof panels into our Light-deprivation greenhouse systems. We consider operational efficiency a core aspect of our dedication to cultivating high-quality cannabis. Minimizing the number of grow lights by harnessing full-spectrum natural sunlight for maximum growth and Terpene production. Precise climate control, utilizing commercial HVAC units to control heating, cooling and humidity. The NEW R-30 insulated glass roof coverings, allows full-spectrum sunlight to exceed indoor-quality standards. Operational efficiency drives us to optimize processes and reduce waste, ensuring competitiveness and optimal plant health.

The left graph below shows an R&D greenhouse's daily cooling energy requirements versus a typical twin-wall polycarbonate greenhouse.
The data collected supports the 33% cooling reduction claim.
The right graph below shows the temperature control of an Elevated Glasshouse utilizing 33% less cooling than a twin-wall polycarbonate greenhouse.

Compared to indoor grow facilities, operational savings for this system primarily come from reduced lighting expenses. Indoor grow facilities have higher environmental control than traditional greenhouses but comes at the cost of running grow lights during the day. This system has the same environmental control as indoor grow facilities but uses the sun’s natural light instead of grow lights providing significant operational savings.
The next slide is an equation estimating the lighting savings for a 100,000-square-foot indoor grow facility in Macon, GA, if it was using the Elevated Glass roof system, taking some assumptions into account.
First, the Daily Light Integral considers the total daily solar exposure for a specific geographic location, in this case, Macon, GA. The lighting efficacy is for current LEDs, a ratio of the photons produced over the energy input, which is the LED’s efficiency. Cost per kWh is assumed at $0.12, and the equation considers the Glasshouses' 87% light transmission.
