Purpose Infrastructure

Green houses that are on sale are either ugly or expensive. With a bit of planning, patience and diy it should be possible to make a nice orangerie from second-hand material.

Skills to acquire: mason, woodworking and glass cutting

The plan

  • Search for free/cheap material on marktplaats. Bricks, doors, windows and pieces of glass are very often offered for free
  • Make foundation, build low walls, build the frame, choose a small window size
  • Initially use plastic as windows. Replace the plastic piece by piece with (stained) glass found on marktplaats

Electronics

  • Raspberry pi with screen and a few buttons

Solar

  • solar panel
  • battery

Climate control

Heat exchange by blowing hot air into the ground during the day and blow warm air from the ground into the greenhouse at night

  • 10m flexible tube
  • computer fan (perhaps two)
  • temperature sensors at start and end of the tube

Sensors greenhouse

  • temperature
  • humidity (air)
  • humidity (pots/ground)
  • sunlight
  • doors and windows open/closed
  • webcam (time lapse)
  • water level of barrel

Actors
