Weed Stays Fresh Because of THIS Hidden Superhero

When Volition needed an energy-efficient solution for their cannabis transport fleet, Legend stepped in with a smart upfit that prioritized temperature stability and cost savings. Rather than relying solely on an expensive HVAC system, the upfit focused on preventing temperature fluctuations at the source—by stopping heat transfer before it could become a problem.

The Smart Upfit: Insulation That Saves Energy

For this project, Legend equipped Volition’s fleet with:

• DuraTherm Wall Liners + TempShield Insulation – These advanced materials significantly reduced heat transfer, allowing the HVAC system to maintain stable temperatures without overworking.

• A Knapheide ABS Partition – By separating the cab from the cargo area, this partition improved climate control and prevented unnecessary air exchange.

• A Webasto Group Tie-in HVAC System – Designed to work efficiently with the insulation, this system maintained precise temperatures without excessive energy consumption.

The True Cost of Poor Insulation

Many fleet operators assume a high-powered HVAC system is all they need to regulate temperature. However, in an uninsulated van, cool air escapes through the metal walls, forcing the HVAC system to run continuously. This leads to:

The Bottom Line: Smarter Upfitting Means Lower Costs

With proper insulation, the HVAC system doesn’t need to work overtime. The result? Lower energy costs, reduced wear and tear on equipment, and a more reliable transport environment for sensitive products like cannabis, fresh flowers, and pharmaceuticals.

Without insulation, maintaining a consistent climate is inefficient and costly.
