Guidestone Distribution Center Greenhouse
This Album outlines all the construction phases of the Greenhouse attached to the southern exposure of the Distribution Center at
Guidestone CSA Farm and
Garden. The greenhouse Subterranean
Heating and Cooling System heats the Distro during the day, and stores solar energy in it's beds for heating at night. It provides food, fodder, flowers and a delightful atmosphere for all at the Farm with an absolute minimum of maintenance. The structure is a steel framed pit style greenhouse with double inflated
polyethylene glazing. The bedwalls are of ferrocement and the foundations are of kaolin
stabilized wood chip insulated cinder block and concrete. This greenhouse stays above freezing all year for an aggregate cost of only 7 cents per square foot per year!
