The invention is creating a controlled environment chamber is essential for the successful cultivation of temperate crops. These chambers are small, advanced greenhouses engineered to counter tropical climates and establish perfect temperate conditions allows for exact regulation of essential environmental factors. They are constructed with tightly secured polycarbonate wall to separate the internal atmosphere from the outside weather. Essential elements and roles of a climate control system include temperature management: An automated misting and irrigation system that utilizes an energy-efficient water chiller and misting components, along with a circulated fan for ventilation, creating a ‘dry fog’ effect, ensures a specific temperature and humidity range for temperate conditions. This enables farmers to replicate the daily temperature variations needed for temperate plants .Humidity control: The system incorporates both humidifiers (like atomizing or dry fog systems) and dehumidifiers to maintain the relative humidity at the optimal level for the particular crop to avoids issues with fungal infection and promotes optimal plant health as equipped with photosynthetic LED growth lights act as the main source of illumination, delivering the precise spectrum, intensity, and duration (photoperiod) essential for plant development by enhance photosynthesis and plant growth. The irrigation systems to uphold the designated fertigation on soilless media deliver nutrient based on parameter setup. Programmable cycles: The system autonomously manages the on/off cycles, sensors continuously track essential environmental factors and equipped with electricity consumption meter.  The real-time date collected and access via application in phone and integrated with google home. Airflow and gas regulation build up to avoid stagnant air and help managing heat and humidity as well as facilitating gas exchange. The system incorporates solar panel and solar generator as a sustainable energy option.
