Successful commercial grow facility design is no small task. From site surveying, budgeting, engineering, procuring materials, coordinating construction, and commissioning systems, there are many minds and hands involved.
Our most complex and involved greenhouse projects are that of our SunChamber™ designs (our sealed grow room design). Building a SunChamber™ involves integration of our EcoLoop™ geothermal HVAC system and all other greenhouse climate control systems with our automated greenhouse controller, The SunSense™. At Ceres, we kick off every SunChamber™ project with a Schematic Design. This process is a basis of design to prepare a concept for engineering, initial permitting, and/or fundraising. In this stage, we critically review all aspects of the facility, from local building code compliance to location of equipment, to ensure a well-integrated and holistic design.
Schematic design is an iterative process. As every project develops, unknown elements will appear. The sooner they are identified, the more easily we can adapt. In this video, Josh and Sunny will give an overview of the Schematic design process and go over what is needed from the client to start the process and what the grower receives as a result of the process.

Hello I’m Sunny Kaercher and this is Josh Holleb and we are with Ceres Greenhouse Solutions and are members of the commercial design team. We are here today to talk to you about the schematic design process, which you may have already been introduced to either on a phone call with one of us or with other colleagues. But it's a somewhat involved process so we're going to break down the different steps. So what is the Schematic Design process? The Schematic Design process is the first step before moving into our Engineering Process. This is where we begin to truly develop the building lay out and decide what systems are going to be used and how the systems are all going to work together by working with some of our local partners, with the end goal of preparing a large document for you for permitting as well as for fundraising but mostly so that we're ready to move into design development engineering. When you go to the next level of detail in your design, you may be asking yourself what do I need to do to get this done? We do have some small homework for you in the Schematic Design process, and even though we're doing the bulk of the work, we need you to be engaged and provide a few things. Starting with the wind and snow loads. This will inform the trust spacing for your greenhouse and the headhouse. We will need a site survey which you can coordinate with the local survey firm and that will help inform the foundation work. We will also need a water test, whether you get your water from public water or we have a water Specialist on our team that can help analyze those results and depending on what kind of water treatment Etc. Lastly we need a technical report and this is a special soil analysis for building structures which also helps inform foundation design. What you get out of this Schematic Design process is a very robust schematic design report. In that report is a grouping of all the information that you brought to us plus work we’ve done in-house which includes site plan and a final render and architectural floor plans and the conditions needed in every room environment. The report will show climate shifts in the greenhouses that you're comfortable with and you approve of with the goal being you have all the information needed to move into the design development and MEP engineering. What this also allows us to do is build you a materials contract but because we are not 100% done with design, because engineering is supposed to happen, we are mostly to a point that we can price out the facility in much more detail for your project. Hopefully now you have an idea of what comes out of this Schematic Design process which ends up as the schematic design report. You know the information that we are now adding to that and so now why is this beneficial for you as a client. So not only do we provide the schematic design process to help identify any potential roadblock so that we can move through the Engineering Process quickly for our sake and for yours, but it also will help you for your financial planning. You can use it for business modeling and working with investors. The entire schematic design process gives you the information to plan not only for the upfront capital cost of building a facility but also your operational cost down the road.
