Here is the 3D model of the self sustainable greenhouse, working title is The "NetZero Cube". The current model is for a base model or the minimum viable product. This model is a three room Greenhouse. The 1st room is Entry Room, it is 3 feet across, it only has a tall cabinet and the main service panel within this room. There are 2 electrical outlets in this room. The 2nd room is Grow Room, which is the largest room. This room has 6 3D printed vertical grow towers, 4 hot compost bids embedded within a small garden bed and 4 outlets. The 3rd room is environmental control room, it only 5 foot across, this room holds the radiant heat distribution, Propane tanks and 2 outlets that are 5 feet off the ground. There will be a large 410 rain tank attached to the left side of the Green house. The green house will have a NIDO system to automate the nutrients and plant feeding process. The 3D Printed grow towers will cycle the water supply so the 410 gallon tank should cover the entire water needs for the plants to grow. LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery will cover the electrical loads of the operation. The current loads are the dehumidifier, smart fans, irrigation pumps and the Nido system itself. The heating for the building will be maintained by a Floor Heating system that manages all 3-Zone utilizing radiant heat distribution through the control panel system. The system will not be utilizing electricity it will be energized by propane or biogas. I found a Lean-To Greenhouse plan that outlines a step by step process of building out their model. The project document also outline the tools and items needed to build out the Lean-to greenhouse. We will be making alteration to their model to transfer it into our sustainable model. Ideally we will create our own step by step buildout document.

I found a Lean-To Greenhouse plan that outlines a step by step process of building out their model. The project document also outlined the tools and items needed to build out the Lean-to greenhouse. We will be making alterations to their model to transfer it into our sustainable model. Ideally we will create our own step by step buildout document. This is where I need the help, developing the step by step documentations outlining the constructions, wiring and installations of the radiant heating system. The grow towers and electrical devices are the easy part as I have the knowledge and subject matter experts on those elements already lined up. But the main need is for the step by step build out documentation for this project. Once we have the step by step document I will be able to convert the document into a VR experience where users will be able to build out our NetZero Cube within a VR simulator. Allowing the user to learn the tools and process of our greenhouse. In addition the VR experience will double as our sale and marketing tool to get and attract buys of our product.
The 1st room is Entry Room, it is 3 feet across, it only has a tall cabinet and the main service panel within this room. There are 2 electrical outlets in this room. The will be camera in every room to help monitor and act as a security system for the green house.
The 2nd room is Grow Room, which is the largest room. This room has 6 3D printed vertical grow towers, 4 hot compost bids embedded within a small garden bed and 4 outlets.
The 3rd room is environmental control room, it only 5 foot across, this room holds the radiant heat distribution, Propane tanks and 2 outlets that are 5 feet off the ground.
