Plan a walk-in climate room around your research protocol, available space, plant height and required environmental conditions.
Bronson Climate develops custom walk-in climate rooms and integrates climate equipment, lighting and controls. Start with the work you need to carry out inside the room: the plants or samples, the experimental layout, access requirements and the conditions to be maintained.
Define the growing space before the room dimensions
A room footprint is only part of the specification. Identify usable growing area, clear height, shelving or bench layout and working aisles. Include access for watering, inspection, sampling and moving material. Discuss the largest equipment that must pass through the door and the route from building access to the installation location.
Plan climate, lighting and controls together
Specify day and night conditions, the sequence of changes and the load inside the room. Discuss temperature, humidity, light intensity, spectrum, photoperiod and airflow as one operating combination. Where relevant, include COâ‚‚ and irrigation in the project brief. Confirm the configuration required for each function rather than assuming every option is included.
Bring the installation team into the discussion
- Available floor area, clear ceiling height, access route and any building restrictions.
- Electrical supply, cooling arrangements, water quality and drainage requirements to be confirmed for the design.
- Expected lighting and plant load, measurement positions and conditions during normal operation.
- Required alarms, data records and interfaces with existing building or research systems.
From initial brief to ongoing support
Use the same brief when comparing proposals. Agree what will be demonstrated at acceptance, who provides the required site services and how access for service will be maintained. Bronson Climate also provides service and preventive maintenance; discuss the scope for your installation.
See examples on our Projects page. For smaller or separate experimental units, compare the Incrementum cabinet range. Our cabinet vs walk-in guide helps structure the choice.
