Vertical Farm CO2 Depletion Simulator

Interactive 3D simulator of CO2 stratification in a stacked indoor vertical farm: watch photosynthesis draw down carbon dioxide faster than it can be resupplied as air flows tier to tier, and see how ventilation, plant density, light and CO2 injection change the outcome.

In a densely stacked indoor vertical farm, air is forced upward through the rack by fans, and every tier of plants pulls carbon dioxide out of that air stream to photosynthesize. This simulator models each tier as a well-mixed volume in a mass-balance chain: fresh, CO₂-enriched supply air enters the bottom tier, gets drawn down by photosynthetic uptake that saturates with both light and CO₂ concentration, and whatever remains flows on to the tier above. Adjust the ventilation rate, plant density, LED light intensity and CO₂ injection setpoint to see how easily the upper tiers can become carbon-starved even when the injected air is CO₂-rich at the bottom — and how much airflow it actually takes to keep the whole stack fed.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 3D model of a stacked indoor vertical farm where photosynthesis draws down CO2 faster than airflow can resupply it tier by tier — tune ventilation, plant density, light intensity and CO2 injection to see how the upper racks can become carbon-starved.
