Really informative! Love the integration on geothermal and renewables. This kind of hybrid approach is how we need to think about buildings in general - especially energy intensive ones.
Hi, Rob. I'm currently taking the Verge Permaculture Design Certification course (Fall 2023). This design is, in principle, exactly what I have envisioned for my property. The only thing missing is the laundry room! Thinking you can prepare food, wash your dishes, and have your laundry going at the same time! So, would it make sense to also integrate the greywater from the washer, and, possibly heat and humidity from the clothes dryer? (Ideally, sure, you'd dry your clothes on a line, but that takes a lot more time, and may not always be practical under certain weather conditions.) In my current situation, I am constantly struggling for time, and being able to multitask for instance, doing kitchen work and laundry at the same time, is always a plus! I welcome your feedback.
Impressive, Rob! I enjoyed learning about the features of greenhouse design. The use of sustainable technologies is inspiring. I look forward to seeing more of your work and how these innovations will develop further.
You aren't going to get much thermal storage beyond the first day or two of heat sink usage. The area surrounding the single pipe will quickly acclimate and then your thermal differential is lost and efficiency tanks. Not sure how you ran the numbers on this but I sure wish I could have helped challenge you concepts before you got this far into it. You still have functional ventilation, which is good...but the thermal battery isn't really happening with this setup. Definitely not seasonal storage, that would require orders of magnitude more surface area and an ideal storage substrate. I would recommend using compost heating for the greenhouse, you will also get CO2 boost from that. Not trying to be a buzzkill, just pointing out some engineering blindspots.
The activity in the kitchen is another input that needs a thorough test run. If the system was purely geothermal I would agree that the thermal storage isn’t large enough. However, being tied to the kitchen, having unspoken supplement through the heat exchanger/pump, added biomass of plants and human activity, and zones that can be manipulated for troubleshooting, there are too many variables to call it a failure with only this video as reference.
Very nice. The wall that you are calling a "solar wall" seems to work like a Trombe wall, in that it absorbs heat from sunlight and delivers it into your space. But instead of doing this via a thermal mass, you're heating air and recirculating it. Very clever.
Just add a bedroom and I'd live here! Looks wonderful. Two questions -- What was the overall cost for this project? And what do you do about pollinators in a subtropical greenhouse? Thanks!
Wow what an awesome video I’ve been looking for this for a while. I don’t know why I haven’t seen this? I want to know plans because I would like to build one for my backyard
I love the greenhouse design.. but I can't help but wonder with the space requirements for Olive and Avocado trees how long it will take to recover the investment cost.
Avocados and olives will never produce enough to “pay” for a geothermal electric greenhouse, especially at 800 sq ft scale. Olives are a really poor choice, maybe you can get $1 / sq ft, but I doubt it.
@@halfabee The problem with socialism/authoritarian systems is it makes capital accumulation for the little guy more difficult because it's taxed away. In authoritarian systems it's the bureaucrats who determine what gets produced and how much. Trudeau/Castro said he admired the Chinese Communist Party because they can turn their economy around on a dime. The only problem with that is Xi Jinping/the central bankers are turning it right into the ground.
Thanks for the content. Interesting passive solar and geothermal solutions. My suggestion is to look into using bifacial solar panels as greenhouse roof panels and outdoor vertical fence panels to generate electricity. The prices of these bifacial panels are competitive with the older single face panels. I like the micro ag model and like the ideas mentioned in the Utah guy Butterfly Energy site and YT channel for utilizing bifacial solar panels for energy production to support agriculture production.
While fun and novel, growing citrus 🍊 in winter climate geothermal battery electric greenhouses is going to be very difficult to make pencil out. 800 sq ft is a personal use greenhouse; awesome for a family, but it’s not commercial scale. Olives are grown in low wage countries on marginal land for a reason, their production per square ft isn’t going to get close to even citrus. A Cara Cara Orange tree would need at least 100 sq ft and at best might produce up to 100lbs in those conditions. At $5/lb that’s $5 / sq ft or $4,000 top line for the whole greenhouse. That said, this is a very cool project, done at a rather high level of sophistication. I hope you come up with a great mix of plantings that will benefit your family for years to come.
Not a bad green house you got there, but I still think the one created by “secret greenhouse of survival “ is better. Just type in secret green house of survival in a UA-cam search section to find it fairly simple. It’s an excellent video. He’ll all his videos are excellent highly recommend watching them all.
that's is absolutely epic, I would love to see an equivalent system developed for topical climate in order to regulate the internal condition inside a greenhouse
This is such an amazing real-world stress-test application of what I'm working on down in rural-Vancouver as an alternative to conventional banking. Thank you for piling more hope on the fire!
Build it anyways …… birds don’t need permission to build nests. Even worms don’t need permission to burrow holes …. So why should you need to ask permission to build something that achieves all of the UN Sustainability design goals Look it up… your government has signed up to the 17 goals Just demonstrate to any ‘interested;’ officials how your design meets those goals and you’ll be fine (in my opinion)
@@DJ-uk5mm Maybe not go ahead and build, but if you can put together a case like that, and if it's rejected, go to the superior and message a few members of an opposition political party to call that out...
Ingenious! I am always blown away and bursting with enthusiasm after watching your videos. Thank you so much for the priceless knowledge and ideas that you share. I am very grateful and feel very fortunate to be included in this community. Much love and many blessings 🙏💞
I’m wondering if you could breakdown the cost of this amazing project? I can only imagine it was enormously expensive to create, but would like to know if an individual could recreate some of this (or all) on a small acreage!
Your design looks like it will work well. I expect you will have great success. I would love to use this design for a home. I only wish I could afford it.
the kitchen should be like 5 x smaller, root cellar also; from a greenshouse this big 1 family will eat almost everything in the season, very little will be left for storage; i dont c a point in combining a greenhouse with a kitchen and a cellar, you could afford a greenhouse 3 times as big instead and actually have a chance to be kinda self sufficient in food
Incredible! Is there a way to put most of this design into a kit that can more readily be distributed to all those that are planning to setup a greenhouse, but don't have the skills to fully research and design all the micro and macro systems that go into something as sophisticated as this?
Old technology made modern. But left out of this conversation is the build cost. $1 million plus (my guess) to can vegetables seems steep and not sure how a business would reclaim that initial build expense to justify this process.
What did you build the roof beams out of? Looking at building a passive solar/geothermal greenhouse later this year or early next spring. Intent is to grow citrus and other other subtropical plants.
Very nice. Are you selling plans for this type of greenhouse and any possible options? Would it make sense to put this type of greenhouse in parts of Alaska?
So how many kwh of heat energy can you actually store? I bet it's more like a buffer than actual long term heat storage, the perforated black wall is smart and i will probably use it on my next build.
In that radon is naturally occurring and more or less omnipresent, have you installed radon detectors and if so, what are their counts? If the counts are too high (conceivable, you're literally sucking air in from the ground), what remediation solution have you generated?
Great I’ve been researching walipini and earth battery greenhouses for few years. And this is a great iteration ……. Well done. ……. I’ll be building one next year
hey, what about mold, is it possible for it to gather beneath greenhouse in those pipes ? i've seen few people claiming that mold as an issue in geothermal battery. i would like to hear from profesional, thanks!
I do not know what they do but I have a commercial fogger and blow hydrogen peroxide mist though my system. I then have a towel cover basket over the outflow to catch any remaining mist.
What happens if the earth aint warming up the green house in the winter time and brings cold into the system its hard to purdge the system with hot air when there aint any
For everyone wonder about cost and the complicated nature of this greenhouse, this may be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/ZD_3_gsgsnk/v-deo.html The guy in this video has been doing this for 20 years or so. It's the same concept but not as fancy or expensive.
Fun project but the underlying philosophy is diametrically opposed to your swales project. One is low tech, elegant, practical, natural and economical. The other is complex, expensive, reliant on electronics and specialised materials. And frankly, I do not understand why you need to grow avocados and olives (!!) in a barn in northern BC...
It looks great but what is the cost of initial investment here? Fundamentally the quantity of growing space you currently have set up looks far from adequate, you had about 6 beds total! Doesn't really look like a system which has productivity in mind, more or a novelty of tech to me.
Like why on earth is there like 2x more preserving and kitchen space than growing space? I don't think we're facing preservation and preparation problems going into the future, we're facing food issues...
On of my big dreams is to build a geothermal greenhouse a lot like this, BUT, I want tropical temps for exotic fruits, tilapia, and freshwater prawns growing in an AQUAPONICS SYSTEM (In the Pacific Northwest). I want to take advantage of a little known amazing solar water heating invention to heat the water of the aquaponics system. The amazing solar hot water system works all the time, even at night in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. The New Zealand "The Alternative Energy Company" makes these amazing solar water heaters.
Actually the object seems to be to get empirical data now that the building is complete. Monitoring results will demonstrate its function under actual conditions. The theoretical part of the study, which led to the building's design is over.
What did you do to calculate that price tag? This may be a somewhat pricier version of the concept, but I think it could be done for far cheaper than a million.
These people are doing nothing but flaunting their expensive, over built projects that waste so much space and cannot run without everything being automated with electronics. For the money spent they could have simply built a medium sized underground storage area and stocked it with enough food to last 100 years! The average person can't afford to build one of these - we need people who can design systems that can be built with minimal expense, are DIY, and do not have high energy requirements to run. Three things were blatantly obvious - 1) the tiny amount of growing space compared to the size of the greenhouse enclosure, 2) the massive kitchen area to process the small amount of food that would be generated by the small growing space, and 3) if one portion of the electronics failed it would likely cost more to repair than all of the food produced in one season. I also question WHY is so much of this facility entirely above ground? The only thing that needs to be above ground is the greenhouse window area. One of the best setups I've found is where the entire house is inside the greenhouse - www.cbsnews.com/media/5-greenhouses-that-are-actually-homes/
@@ottodidakt3069 - Actually they are. What I linked to are examples only. That doesn't mean that you have to build something that huge and expensive. People need to use a little imagination and ingenuity and learn how to modify. What we see on most of these youtube homesteading sites is a couple or family that takes a bare piece of land and builds a HUGE house and use all kinds of expensive construction equipment, new tractors, etc. to do everything, they can only do this because they make a lot of money from UA-cam. Where is the person who builds a large greenhouse FIRST and then builds their MODERATE-sized home inside it.
@@Rattlerjake1 One nation has already done that by means of mass production by producing HOT STAMPED PARTS and modularization of the greenhouse designs and engineered to be highly scalable and using Ekor plastic impregnated synthetic mica glass fabric and has an external expanded metal mesh cover against hailstones. But it cannot be exported to America because of the Anti-Russian Sanctions. It was meant for dachas as large as 1 acre to 2.5 acres or 1 hectare. You will not find it in any advertisements, even in Russia, because it is only advertised by word of mouth for the product sells by itself.
This all looks so cool but who can afford to build such a monster? I mean with all the computer controlled valves and fans and such. I wonder what that whole thing costs and really how many decades before it would pay itself off if ever. I like the one I saw in Nebraska that was way cheaper and still grew tropical fruit I. The winter
Sadly when you look inside ( there are no growing plants unless you are growing straw) This is true for 99% of these type of year around growing green houses on you tube no food but the materals and design are pretty.
Hi. He noted in the video that it's still under construction, and they'll be planting shortly. He did the tour before the plants were in the way so we could see the systems better.
So smart !!! so inspiring !!! Ahhhhh that mean no hungering on this world because of the weather. Seem technology can be reversed in Africa and people can have food!!! Only 34k view 1.6 sub oh my goodness because of UA-cam do not recommend your video .No hot booty no hot boob's at the thumbnail . Great youtube algorithm 👍👍🤣🤣
There's so many ideas to take from this. But TBH, unless I win the lotto, I'd never be able to replicate anywhere near to it. Wayyy too much money for an indeterminate payback period.
That's great but should be done without halogenated vinyl or halogenated carbon manufacturing pollution or hazardous waste burners. These molecules are the primary causes of global warming and global infertility. These serious and persistent damaging effects of chemical weapons manufacturing use and disposal burning was supposed to be eliminated by the US EPA mission under treaty enforcement and obligations. No halogenated vinyl or halogenated carbon manufacturing use or disposal burning. Certainly what has been done here can be done without plastic paint solvent and fire retardant. Edison generators AKA permanent magnet motor as a generator and dynamos brushless motors as generators can replace fossil fuels and nuclear power plants or grid power. The very important quality of survivable industry is no plastic manufacture pollution and no nuclear technology .
CO2 is not a problem. The atmosphere needs more CO2, not less. CO2 never has and never will drive changes in climate. Also, the result of a sexually debauched society is fewer children. Women don't want to have children if they're busy whoring around. I believe godless sodomites is the term to describe them.
I don't know what you're trying to suggest with motors and generators but it sounds a lot like a perpetual-motion scheme. If you believe in perpetual motion I have some magic beans to sell you.

Hi. He noted in the video that it's still under construction, and they'll be planting shortly. He did the tour before the plants were in the way so we could see the systems better.
Oh that's how the 1% put food by
So smart !!! so inspiring !!!
Ahhhhh that mean no hungering on this world because of the weather.
Seem technology can be reversed in Africa and people can have food!!!
Only 34k view 1.6 sub oh my goodness because of UA-cam do not recommend your video .No hot booty no hot boob's at the thumbnail . Great youtube algorithm 👍👍🤣🤣

almost passive.
watch out the thieves (animals) come through the door when you open it

There's so many ideas to take from this. But TBH, unless I win the lotto, I'd never be able to replicate anywhere near to it. Wayyy too much money for an indeterminate payback period.
The music in the background was killing my neurons. One wonder what type of brainwashing our kids are going through... couldn’t finish the video.
Wow this looks like some big money spent here
That's great but should be done without halogenated vinyl or halogenated carbon manufacturing pollution or hazardous waste burners. These molecules are the primary causes of global warming and global infertility. These serious and persistent damaging effects of chemical weapons manufacturing use and disposal burning was supposed to be eliminated by the US EPA mission under treaty enforcement and obligations. No halogenated vinyl or halogenated carbon manufacturing use or disposal burning. Certainly what has been done here can be done without plastic paint solvent and fire retardant. Edison generators AKA permanent magnet motor as a generator and dynamos brushless motors as generators can replace fossil fuels and nuclear power plants or grid power. The very important quality of survivable industry is no plastic manufacture pollution and no nuclear technology

CO2 is not a problem. The atmosphere needs more CO2, not less. CO2 never has and never will drive changes in climate.
Also, the result of a sexually debauched society is fewer children. Women don't want to have children if they're busy whoring around. I believe godless sodomites is the term to describe them.
I don't know what you're trying to suggest with motors and generators but it sounds a lot like a perpetual-motion scheme. If you believe in perpetual motion I have some magic beans to sell you.
