Dual Intakes (Specifically: Dayton 48” Backdraft Damper model # 4FZJ2)
To help ensure that sufficient air was taken in duel intakes were utilized. While it may appear each is on a completely different level this is a bit of an optical illusion. The ground is not level so this is what is causing the vents to seem like they are vastly different heights. This system worked out great for the entire season.
In the middle of the structure toward the top, an HAV (Specifically: Atlas HAV (Horizontal Air Flow) 18” and 1/10hp, 1 amp) fan can be seen which ran 24-hr a day every day (with no issues) to help keep the air continually mixing and reducing the potential for thermal stratification in the structure.
Also, the 30% shade netting is over the structure and the impact on the light penetration even with carbon dioxide enrichment is not hindering plant growth. However, the added benefit is reduction in the heat that needs to be exhausted which is intended to lessen the plant stress so the misters put in place can be more effective.
