Freedom Cannabis is a quality seed-to-sale cannabis company based in Alberta. Arrow Engineering’s Electrical team joined Freedom Cannabis to support with the electrical system design for their 111,000 square foot greenhouse facility. Although there is little experience to reference when designing a cannabis greenhouse, Arrow’s team was up for the challenge and took charge leading the research required to design an efficient, effective, and appropriate growing environment that supports Freedom’s production of quality cannabis. The final result was a diverse building including grow rooms and a laboratory, as well as the Freedom head office, product packaging, and shipping/receiving departments.

Arrow’s team provided electrical services including connection locations for large portable generators in case of an extended power outage. The system also incorporated roof-top solar panels, and the grow-rooms utilized traditional lighting, as well as test rooms for LED-grow lighting. The team utilized insulated metal panels to create an interstitial floor across the entire growing areas in support of the HVAC, electrical and control components required to operate the rooms. The grow rooms were also constructed from IMP for cleanability and ease of installation.
