A method of controlling the atmosphere within a controlled environment agriculture facility comprising, sequentially: a. inducting a first portion of outside ambient air into the agriculture facility through an evaporative cooler, thereby cooling and humidifying the air; b. passing and circulating the cooled and humidified first portion across the agriculture in the facility, further humidifying the air; c. recirculating a second portion of the circulated air through a heat exchanger, cooling and dehumidifying the air; and d. combining the second portion with the first portion of inducted air before said combination is circulated across the agriculture in the facility.
