Controlled Environment Buildings for Year-Round Agriculture

Advanced Greenhouse and Controlled Environment Buildings

At ARK Ltd., our Greenhouse and Controlled Environment Buildings combine sustainable and regenerative design with advanced energy management systems, creating efficient and resilient spaces for year-round agriculture. In partnership with Sprung Structures, we offer state-of-the- art, climate-controlled environments that optimize productivity while minimizing environmental impact.

Sustainable and Regenerative Design

Key Components of ARK’s Greenhouse and Controlled Environment Buildings

1. Airtight Design by Sprung Structures

Our buildings feature a 2% air exchange rate, dramatically reducing heat loss and lowering energy costs. This makes them ideal for both agricultural and commercial use, ensuring consistent internal climates year-round.

2. Passive Solar Gain with Advanced Materials

The choice of membrane material allows beneficial far-red light to penetrate, enhancing photosynthesis and plant growth, unlike standard glass, which blocks this spectrum.

3. Solar Energy Capture for Heating and Cooling

4. Solar Heat Pumps

The air-to-water heat pump technology offers a significant advantage, especially in colder climates, where temperature differences can otherwise increase energy use exponentially.

5. Economic Efficiency and Payback Period

6. Real-World Applications and Expertise
