Publication number: 20070163170Abstract: A greenhouse has an exterior curtain wall structure formed by spaced tubular posts carrying external transparent panels and bottom non-transparent wall panels below a sill with the panels spanning the posts. A plurality of benches is located within the interior at spaced positions along one side wall with the width of the benches being equal to the post spacing to form a modular construction. A lighting system is matched with the modular construction of the exterior and includes rails aligned with the posts which carry a row of lighting fixtures arranged for common height adjustment to an optimized predetermined height. The lighting fixture includes a parabolic reflector adjustable to incline the directed light inwardly from the side wall and to change the location of the bulb axis relative to the parabolic axis. The ballasts for the lighting fixtures are housed outside the main greenhouse area in a common cabinet forming a panel in the wall structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2006Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: David Brault, Wayne Zimmerman, Paul Wasney, Josephine Wasney, Yvon Normandin

Patent number: 7234270Abstract: A greenhouse has an exterior curtain wall structure formed by spaced tubular posts carrying external transparent panels and bottom non-transparent wall panels below a sill with the panels spanning the posts. A plurality of elongate benches is located within the interior at spaced positions along one side wall with the width of the benches being equal to the post spacing to form a modular construction. Each bench has associated with it a respective air handling system for conditioning including a duct which is located partly under the respective bench and a fan in a fan housing at the side wall. From the fan a vertical duct section extends to a flexible tube extending over the bench. An alley is arranged along the opposite wall containing electrical controls mounted in cabinets forming panels for mounting in the span between posts. Air dehumidification, fogging, heating and cooling are provided in the duct under the bench.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Controlled Environments LimitedInventors: David Brault, Alex Turkewitsch, Ron Giercke, Steve Schram, Wayne Zimmerman, Yvon Normandin
