Research, Development and Demonstration of Sustainable Greenhouses for Urban Communities in Cold Climates
This project explores "integrated greenhouses," which are community and house-attached greenhouses incorporated into existing or future buildings. The research aims to provide insights for urban and rural, residential and commercial real estate on integrating agri-food production into winter city environments.
By examining options for growing food at home or nearby in urban settings, the project seeks to educate the real estate industry and its consumers on the benefits and feasibility of incorporating greenhouses into residential and commercial properties.
