Controlled Environment growing system designs available by license orcustomized design for each component
Growing Systems
Integrated Facilities Design
o Lean Facilities Designs- Integrated design to minimize growing steps including:
- transportation inputs and outputs,
- plant layout,
- integrated energy & control systems layouts,
- workforce access and health optimization,
- light access,
- energy and airborne nutrient recapture systems,
- in-door composting and medium prepartion systems,
- scheduled maintenance preparation
o Lean Growing Room Designs-Layouts, layering for vertical farming,
lighting, ingress and egress for planting & harvesting cycles, operational maintenance preparation.
o Growing Medium Mixes
- Compost Based Soils
- Soil Enhanced Air
- Hydroponics
Planting, Harvesting, Packing and Distribution Systems
o Lean Facilities Designs- Integrated design for connected or adjacent facilities used for pre and post growing cycles.
o Lean Recycling Systems- Design of recapture and recycling systems for organic material, inorganic material, water, air and energy.
Energy & Water System
o Renewable Energy Integration- Integration of wind and solar systems as retrofits and new designs.
o Energy Capture- Medium and composting processing systems that capture and utilize the energy generated in natural
composting and food processing operations.o Management- Energy usage and management systems designed for mobile and fixed farm operations.
o Water Distribution, Capture & Recycling- Water systems with flexible application for use by crop with integrated floor based recapture systems leading to treatment processes for use
as gray water.Water Systems
o Growing Area Recycling- Collection and partial purification systems to generate gray-water for re-use in growing cycles.
o Processing Facility Recycling-Collection and waste-water treatment systems to provide gray-water for use in food processing.
Financial Models
Financial models generating scenarios of capital costs, alternative financial structures and market elements of revenue & expense
Business and Facilities Planning
o Product Development,Selection and Planning- Product to facilities options, integratedcredit(s) scenarios for location incentives, workforce and R&D investment
o Location - Assessment for selectiono Mixed funding capitalization: Optional facilities, equipment and capital investment mixing government and private sector mixed financing
Facilities Buildout and Launch Models
o Planning and Buildout- Phased planning and buildout models including site selection, preparation, and facilities construction.
o Facilities Launch- Incremental launch models by week and month, including investment spend down with phase in of revenue
Operations Optimization
o Scenarios - Multi-scenario operating models incorporating macro-economic, business cost inputs and market pricing
o Facilities, equipment and infrastructure - Fixed investment tracking models incorporating projected vs. actual maintenance, replacement and upgrade costs.
o Business Operating proformas vs. Actuals - Integrated business operating reporting on scenarios basis comparing proformas to actuals, across all scenarios and fixed investment reporting results- GAAP accounting for reporting
- GAAS accounting for public investment reporting
- GAAP accounting for reporting
