ASU student team wins EPA award for solar greenhouse - by Nanci Bompey

A team of students from Appalachian State University’s Department of Technology has won a $75,000 award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the development of an affordable solar greenhouse.

The project developed an affordable solar greenhouse that incorporated both subsoil heat storage and liquid foam insulation. The design allows farmers to power a greenhouse using renewable energy, enabling them to grow crops during the winter at low economic and environmental costs.
