The energy footprint of vertical farms raises legitimate questions about their environmental impact. Furthermore, in a time of surging electricity prices, the economic viability of indoor producers is questioned, as electricity costs take a significant share of their operating expenses. At Orius, we are strongly dedicated to building energy-efficient systems and keeping them up-to-date from a technology standpoint. We’re also developing innovative solutions to reduce energy usage of controlled-environment crop production. In this article we’ll provide some actual figures about our current systems and share our roadmap towards an even more efficient future.
