SUMMARY:Solar Greenhouse Workshop
LOCATION:13th Ave E near Clark\, Vancouver\, BC
DESCRIPTION:http://www.spec.bc.ca/ViewEvent.ashx?eventId=459793\n\n\n Conventional greenhouses designed to extend the growing season are heavy energy users.  In fact\, as part of the recent announcement to review the Carbon Tax\, the BC government pointed to the greenhouse industry as being hard hit by the tax.  But do greenhouses have to be such energy hogs?\n \n This workshop will focus on the design of "solar greenhouses."  These greenhouses use passive design features to collect and store energy from the sun rather than from other sources.  This allows you to extend the growing season without any external energy inputs.\n \n In the workshop we will discuss design features and then participate in the hands-on construction of a solar greenhouse designed for backyard use.\n \n The workshop is sponsored by SPEC (www.spec.bc.ca) \, Village Vancouver (www.villagevancouver.ca)  and Vancouver Renewable Energy (www.vrec.ca). \n Photo by flickr user: ethnobot
