How one cannabis grower is keeping things sustainable

Electric Energy Use Intensity

Glass House Farms uses 90.2% less electricity than the average cannabis greenhouse and 95% less electricity than average indoor grows.

• Glass House: 13 kilowatt-hours per square foot
• Average Greenhouse: 134 kilowatt-hours per square foot
• Average Indoor: 161 kilowatt-hours per square foot

Carbon Productivity

Glass House Farms emits 67.8% less carbon than the average cannabis greenhouse and 96.2% less carbon than the average indoor grown.

• Glass House: 101 kilograms CO₂ per kilogram flower
• Average Greenhouse: 314 kilograms CO₂ per kilogram flower
• Average Indoor: 2,643 kilograms CO₂ per kilogram flower

In other words, it requires the same amount of energy to 1 ounce of indoor flower as it does 10 ounces of Glass House flower.
