奶糖直播

The Greenhouse features 2950 square feet of climate-controlled growing space for various projects, including faculty and student research and instructional laboratory use, and houses some of our permanent teaching and research plant collection.

The growing space is divided into three bays, each controlled individually though our Wadsworth environmental control system. This system uses data collected from an on-site weather station to efficiently operate the various heating, venting, and cooling equipment to provide an ideal growing environment specific to each project鈥檚 needs.

Our Greenhouse features an automatic dual-purpose thermal blanket to increase our energy efficiency. This material is drawn across the roof area at nightfall and helps slow the escape of heat through the roof. It then reopens at daybreak to allow the sunlight in. This material is also used to shade the plants and reduce heat buildup during hot summer weather.
