Cannabis Processing Barn- Ventilation
Cannabis Processing Barn- Ventilation
(OP)
Working on design of a 3,500 sq.ft. cannabis processing barn. There are no windows at all.
Owner wants to put in mini-splits.
This is a clear code violation as ventilation would be required by the IMC... right?
Appreciate your feedback

There also will be humans working in there. You need to research YOUR applicable code.
Life was easier when plants were grown outside......

They all seem to be surprised that where weed is legal, the margins are much lower than where it is illegal. Duh!
But from an engineering (and biology) point of view they try to optimize for THC content. This is far from what grow outside in nature. They basically tightly control light (artificial), CO2, humidity, temperature throughout the different grow stages. It is a lot more than just ventilation. Really, someone who really knows weed production should design this or at least provide the required parameters.
Assuming this is in a State with legal weed production, you should review the code and work with JHA to find the ventilation requirements. Humans will work in there, so yeah, can't overdo the CO2.

Suffice it to say - I don't doubt they would unknowingly, or even knowingly in some extreme cases (how extreme I don't know), create unsafe working conditions in the name of lowering operating costs, avoiding further investment expenses, etc.
Weed guys and crypto bros are about even for the high-in-the-sky plans with zero detail, understanding, or budget to get it done.
