HVAC is heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. HVAC systems take outdoor air, treat it, and use it to maintain a set of conditions in a growing environment. (Learn about sizing HVAC systems: university.upstartfarmers.com/blog/the-worst-mistake-a-farmer-can-make-in-hvac-design)
Most growers use HVAC in some form. Very small growers might be able to go without a professional HVAC system, but for people growing for profit, HVAC is important to consistent yield, quality, and operating costs.
For indoor growers, HVAC can be incredibly important to heat removal. As you pack more plants into more space and lights dump heat into that dense growing environment, it gets very hot.
On top of that, evaporation and transpiration are also dumping humidity into the air. Now you have a very hot, humid environment which promotes disease and pest problems.
