I. K. Barber Enhanced Forestry Lab (EFL) consists of four greenhouse compartments (three at 49m2 and one at 55m2) with temperature control, HPS lighting control, heating/venting control and humidity sensing.
Two of the compartments are equipped with automated watering/fertigation booms and one portable fogging system can be deployed in any pod.
Environmental controls are monitored by a central in-house computer system. A UNBC Building Controls Systems Technician is available to monitor or modify existing control systems.
The header house contains a large instructional/research lab as well as a soil preparation area. A special dust suppression room is available for conducting wood quality work and soils characterization research.
