Vertical Farm HVAC Load Calculator
x402
Vertical Farm HVAC Load Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from agri.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Computes steady-state HVAC sizing loads for a vertical farm by summing heat contributions from lighting, equipment, people, envelope, and ventilation, and converts evapotranspiration into a latent moisture-removal load.

How this service works
Adds lighting, equipment, people, envelope and ventilation heat flows at one supplied operating point, and converts evapotranspiration into a latent moisture-removal load. It is a steady-state sizing estimate without duct losses, thermal mass, equipment curves, controls, infiltration uncertainty or psychrometric state validation.
Output
Returns a steady-state HVAC sizing estimate including total sensible heat load (sum of lighting, equipment, people, envelope conduction, and ventilation contributions) and total latent load derived from the evapotranspiration input. Does not account for duct losses, thermal mass, equipment curves, controls, infiltration uncertainty, or psychrometric state validation.
Example use cases
Sizing a new vertical farm build-out
“We're designing a 3-story vertical farm with 400 kW of LED lighting, 60 kW of equipment, 12 workers generating 100 W sensible heat each, 5000 m² of envelope at U-value 0.25 W/m²K, indoor setpoint 20°C, outdoor temperature 30°C, 2 m³/s ventilation, and crop evapotranspiration of 800 L/hour — give me a steady-state HVAC load estimate.”
Evaluating envelope insulation upgrade
“I'm comparing insulation options for my indoor grow facility: same farm with 150 kW lighting, 20 kW equipment, 5 people at 120 W sensible heat, 1500 m² envelope — what's the HVAC load difference between a U-value of 0.5 versus 0.15 W/m²K at an indoor setpoint of 21°C and outdoor temperature of 38°C with 0.8 m³/s ventilation and 200 L/hour evapotranspiration?”
Estimating latent load from high-yield crop cycle
“During peak growing season our vertical farm has evapotranspiration hitting 1200 L/hour with 300 kW lights, 30 kW equipment, 6 people at 110 W sensible heat, 3000 m² envelope at U-value 0.35 W/m²K, indoor setpoint 23°C, outdoor temp 28°C, and 1.2 m³/s of ventilation — what's the total latent moisture-removal load I need my system to handle?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agri.halowerk.com/v1/vertical-farm-hvacWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, deterministic steady-state HVAC load estimate for a vertical farm or controlled environment agriculture facility at a single operating point. It is ideal for early-stage system sizing, design feasibility checks, or comparing envelope and ventilation scenarios without the complexity of dynamic simulation tools. Prefer alternatives if you need full psychrometric state tracking, duct loss modeling, infiltration uncertainty, or equipment curve analysis.
Side effects
- Invalid or out-of-range numeric inputs (e.g. negative kW, temperature outside -50 to 60°C) return validation errors
- Missing required fields may result in incomplete load calculations or errors
- Extremely large input values near schema maximums may produce physically unrealistic but numerically valid results
- No psychrometric validation — caller must ensure setpoint and outdoor temperature combinations are physically plausible
