Besides ventilation and heat exchange, it also has an air conditioner and light bulbs integrated. Customers ordering can also choose to install windows and solar panels. Thanks to the logical structure and advanced technologies, it is possible to adjust the temperature, light as well as the amount of water and air suitable for the plants so that they grow fastest, unaffected by weather and pest and disease restrictions. For example, normally it takes 65 to 120 days to cultivate and harvest lettuce, then Agri-Cube has to wait 42 days. Moreover this system is also designed so that it saves energy consumption to a minimum.
