Originally mushroom cultivation was carried out in caves that have gradually been replaced by climate controlled chambers, to control climatic conditions, requiring only energy consumption and cooling systems. The climate controlled chambers allow higher control over the weather conditions inside the growing chambers, temperature, and humidity, compared to the traditional cultivation process. However, this advantage implies an increase in energy consumption, much higher than the traditional cultivation process, due to the demand of the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning system (HVAC). As a result, the climate controlled cultivation process requires higher investments that the traditional cultivation process. The results of this study indicate that traditional cultivation systems have higher average production than climate controlled systems. Furthermore, higher investments are needed in climate controlled cultivation systems. However, traditional cultivation systems are totally dependent on weather conditions, as a result, cold and hot seasons are not favourable for these cultivation systems.
