With interest in cannabis cultivation at an all-time high, Efficiency Vermont has been getting a lot of questions lately about the best ways to nurture indoor plants.
Mimicking the effects of the sun is an energy-intensive business. Growing cannabis or other plants indoors uses about 10 times as much energy per square foot as a typical office building, according to the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, or SEEP, a public interest organization in several western states.
Efficiency Vermont is trying to distance itself from the public policy conversation about cannabis while preparing for a growth in the energy-draining business.
