"GROWING IN A 'PERFECT' GREENHOUSE CLIMATE"
Urban Ag News, Issue 16, January 2017 No matter what type of facility you are growing plants in, it is important to understand the climate variables that affect crop responses and productivity. Dr. Sabeh discusses the environmental factors greenhouse growers can manage - temperature, humidity, VPD, carbon dioxide, and airflow - and how those factors interact with the plants and each other. She also presents common methods for controlling those factors in a greenhouse environment, as well as the challenges and potential solutions in non-so-perfect climates.

"KEEPING IT COOL: HVAC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR GROWING INDOORS"
Upstart University Webinar: October 23, 2016 In this webinar, Dr. Sabeh explains the importance of a well-designed HVAC system for indoor growing, reviews the different HVAC equipment used for greenhouse and warehouse crop production, and outlines the information needed to calculate heating, cooling, and humidity control requirements. The webinar ends with a case study comparing the CapEx and OpEx outcomes of an off-the-shelf system vs. an engineered system.
