SUMMARY:UFFS Workshop - Solar Greenhouses
DESCRIPTION:Greenhouses can be valuable tools for growing food all yea
 r round. However, conventional greenhouses designed to extend the grow
 ing season are heavy energy users. In fact, as part of the recent anno
 uncement to review the Carbon Tax, the BC government pointed to the gr
 eenhouse industry as being hard hit by the tax. But do greenhouses hav
 e to be such high-energy users? This workshop will focus on the design
  of \"solar greenhouses.\" These greenhouses use passive design featur
 es to collect and store energy from the sun rather than from other sou
 rces. This allows you to extend the growing season with little or no e
 xternal energy inputs other than the sun. In the workshop we will disc
 uss passive design features, active solar technologies and methods of 
 greenhouse food production.\n\nFor more information visit http://villa
