To provide a plant factory capable of suppressing air conditioning cost and controlling a temperature in a culture chamber to a set temperature easily.SOLUTION: A plant factory is configured so that, at least one surface out of a wall, a ceiling, and a floor forming a culture chamber, is formed of two insulation walls which are separated by a hollow wall part, the insulation wall on an indoor side comprises a plurality of openings, each opening comprises a fan and an opening door 110 attached thereto. Some of the plurality of fans can operate so as to feed air from the indoor side to the hollow wall part through the opening to which the fan is attached, and other fans can operate so as to feed the air from the hollow wall part to the indoor side through the opening to which the fan is attached. The openings, to which the fan for feeding the air to the hollow wall part is attached, are provided along a specific one side out of four sides of the insulation wall, the other openings are arranged along the side relative to the above-mentioned side. The flow rate of the fan can be almost continuously controlled.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】空調コストを抑えつつ容易に栽培室の温度を設定された温度に制御することが可能な植物工場を提供する。【解決手段】栽培室を構成する壁、天井、床のうち少なくとも一つの面について、間を空壁部で隔てられた二つの断熱壁により構成され、かつ、室内側の断熱壁には複数の開口部が設けられ、各開口部にはファンと開閉扉１１０が取り付けられている。複数のファンの一部はそのファンの取り付けられた開口部を通じて空気を室内から前記の空壁部に送り込むように動作することができ、その他のファンはそのファンの取り付けられた開口部を通じて空気を前記の空壁部から室内に送り込むように動作することができる。空気を空壁部へ送り込むためのファンが取り付けられた開口部は前記の断熱壁の四辺のうちの特定の一辺に沿うように設けられ、その他の開口部は前記の辺に相対する辺に沿うように配置される。ファンの流量はほぼ連続的に制御できる。【選択図】図２
