The article “Review of energy efficiency in controlled environment agriculture”(2021) has researched Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) applications and its relationship with HVAC systems that have played an important part in meeting the demand for food production in urban farming. In contrast, the study researched places a significant emphasis focusing on energy efficiency. Global warming has posed challenges to agriculture (AGRIVI, n.d.) and the HVAC system is one of the ways to solve the problems. The features of HVAC systems include thermostats and controllers, sensors, energy efficiency and lighting integration that work together to create a sustainable environment for growing crops. Furthermore, the main function is to develop optimal environmental conditions for cultivation. These include temperature control and humidity control. Hence, the HVAC systems used in urban farming play a crucial role in ensuring food safety and quality produce without being affected by the weather.
Thesis statement: Climate change
has been a problem for the world and controlled environment agriculture, HVAC systems, play an
important part in urban farming in meeting the population's food demand while
focusing on energy efficiency.
