Design of Prefabricated Energy-Efficient Greenhouses for Cold Climate Regions

该项目旨在设计一种节能温室，可以在异地使用海运集装箱进行预制。温室可以方便地运输和现场组装。它的灌溉**和空间供暖等作业将使用现场太阳能，并将实现自动化，以最大限度地提高利用**效率。先进的隔热和存储设计将被用来最大限度地减少热损失并最大限度地利用太阳能热收益。有了这些工程设计，生长季将大大延长**，而不会显著增加能源消耗。使用航运集装箱建造温室有**几个重要的好处，例如回收由于单向**国际运输而被丢弃的航运集装箱、坚固耐用的建筑结构以及异地模块化建筑。异地**模块化建筑是为偏远地区建造温室最实用的方法。此外，**拥有全年社区温室可以为定期聚会提供一个有吸引力的场所，从而**增强社区成员的社会凝聚力。因此，拥有节能温室将**显著增强加拿大人的可持续生活和应对气候变化的能力。该项目的主要**预期成果是节能温室的设计概念和方法。**合作公司Mod Studio是一家总部位于加拿大的公司，专注于通过节能房屋和温室实现可持续生活**。

The project aims to design an energy-efficient greenhouse that can be prefabricated off-site using shipping**containers. The greenhouse can be easily transported and assembled on site. Its operations such as irrigation**and space heating will be using on-site solar energy and will be automated to maximize the utilization**efficiency. Advanced thermal insulation and storage design will be used to minimize heat loss and to maximize**utilization of solar heat gain. With these engineering designs, the growing season will be substantially extended**without increasing energy consumption significantly. Using shipping containers to construct greenhouses has**several important benefits such as the recovery of shipping containers that are abandoned as a result of one-way**international shipping, strong and long-lasting building structures, and off-site modular construction. Off-site**modular construction is the most practical approach to build greenhouses for remote regions. Furthermore,**having year-around community greenhouse can provide an attractive venue for regular gatherings, and hence**enhances the social cohesion of community members. Therefore, having energy-efficient greenhouses will**significantly strengthen the sustainable living and the resilience to climate change of Canadians. The primary**anticipated outcomes of the project are the design concept and methodology of an energy-efficient greenhouse.**The partnering company, Mod Studio, is a Canada-based company focusing its business on sustainable living**through energy-efficient houses and greenhouses.
