Project description:
Solar Powered Ventilation and Education at the UC Davis Student Farm’s Greenhouse
This project will enhance the Student Farm's greenhouse cooling capacity by installing a solar powered fan. This will be done in place of installing another grid based fan.
Doing so will improve the sustainability of the Student Farm, reduce grid energy use through the implementation of renewable energy technologies, and provide an opportunity to educate students about sustainable energy and agriculture.
