Greenhouse Heat Recovery Ventilation

Updated 2026-09-02 · 5 min read

Greenhouses need fresh air for CO2 and humidity control, but winter ventilation throws away expensive heat. An air-to-air exchanger recovers that heat without starving plants of airflow.

What to specify

Payback

Heating is often a greenhouse's largest variable cost. Recovering 70% to 80% of ventilation heat routinely pays back in one to two seasons, see the ROI walkthrough.
