Due diligence that strengthens rooftop farm performance
Crop Urbanis benchmarked mechanical, structural and agronomic systems on a Singapore rooftop farm, delivering a phased upgrade plan that lowers energy intensity and operational risk.
A Singapore developer piloted a rooftop vertical farm but faced high energy bills and maintenance challenges under tropical humidity. Crop Urbanis provided a comprehensive assessment to guide next-stage investment decisions.
Challenges & approach
HVAC loads spiked during monsoon humidity, straining equipment and costs.
Structural loading limits constrained expansion and equipment placement.
Operational documentation lagged behind actual practices, complicating compliance.
Our contribution
Conducted energy modelling with dynamic humidity scenarios to size dehumidification upgrades.
Reviewed structural reports and defined lightweight racking alternatives for expansion.
Delivered compliance-ready SOPs and maintenance calendars tied to BCA requirements.
