Solar powered greenhouse outside Pupin Hall
Proposal
The Exterior
The Interior
● Provide aesthetically pleasing lounge● Serve as a warm pitstop in winter● Offer opportunity to help grow fresh produce● Allow Columbia Food Sustainability Project to run all
year round● Grow produce for Columbia dining hall● Encourage future use of clean energy like solar power
Purpose
Solar Energy● Electrons gain Ek=hf from light photons from the sun● This creates a voltage and DC current between the two
plates of the solar panel diode
● This is then converted to AC to use with common appliances
Building Designs
Roof provides the ideal 40.8° incline for the panels to rest on while also creating the greenhouse effect
Roof: Combining Solar and Greenhouse Designs
● Outdoor seating provides refreshing views of the campus
● Indoor seating offers warmth in the winter and tranquil view of the plants
Seating Accommodations
● One refrigerated drink machine outside the greenhouse
Vending Machines
Energy Required: 6.60 kWh/day
● 16 lockers to charge phones during the day
Phone Charging Stations
Energy Required: 1.92 kWh/day
● Twelve .19W LED lights to provide extra light during the day as needed
● Powered by excess power stored in the batteries during the night
LED Lighting
Energy Required: .00228 kWh/day
● Automatic watering system for the plants
Sprinkler System
Energy Required: .074 kWh/day
Automatic Doors
Energy Required: 0.140 kWh/day
● Synchronized automatic system keeps the heat in the greenhouse
● Handicap accessible● Accommodates “lazy”
college students
Live Power Consumption Monitor● Monitor to show
how much power each system is using at a given time
● Allows passers-by to visually witness the effective use of green energy Energy Required: 0.050 kWh/day
Total Energy Requirements
(.5kWh/day)(18 FS-3100 solar panels) = 9kWh/day
