Passive Solar Greenhouse Design with Roald Gundersen
Roald Gundersen built his design practice on passive solar cold climate greenhouses for the Driftless region and surrounding areas. He has designed and constructed everything from a tiny solar stream house made from a few pieces of timber and a draped translucent tarp (still effective after ten years) to large commercial greenhouses for working farms. In a classroom setting, learn the basics of greenhouse design including solar angles, the value of poly carbonate or glass, proper insulation and construction techniques. Roald will show examples of his work and discuss the various choices that each project entailed. Then move outside to examine several functioning greenhouse structures and perhaps get your hands dirty with a small construction project.
