Automated Greenhouse Monitoring System Our team selected this project for our Senior Design as we believe such a product will have great marketability in the near future. At this point in time‚ the world’s pollution problem has led to unpredictable weather conditions all over the world. With these ever changing weather conditions‚ it is expected that the number of greenhouses will significantly increase in the near future‚ thus leading to a great demand for automated greenhouse monitoring systems

will have the greatest growth. VARIABLES Independent : The independent variable of my experiment is the temperature of the greenhouse (made of glass) that each pot will be held. I will control temperature using a temperature regulator‚ a machine that is relatively small so it can easily fit into the greenhouse and is able to produce temperature as low as -10°C and as high as 40°C . Dependent : The dependent variable of our experiment is the increase in weight

Elliott Nickell Prof. Matthew Schmeer English 121 8/28/13 Greenhouse Emissions Caused by Transportation Global Warming is defined as an increase in the earth’s normal atmospheric temperature due to the greenhouse effect (Dictionary.com). The warming of earth’s atmosphere occurs when “CO2 absorbs infrared radiation and then re-radiates it back toward the surface of the planet” (Mahlman). Reducing unnecessary travel and shipping will reduce CO2 emissions. The amount of carbon dioxide in our

Greenhouse Technology Growing plants is both an art and a science. About 95% of plants‚ either food crops or cash crops are grown in open field. Since time immemorial‚ man has learnt how to grow plants under natural environmental conditions. In some of the

new to India. So‚ Greenhouse Technology is the technique of providing favorable environment condition to the plants. “Greenhouses are framed or inflated structures covered with transparent or translucent material large enough to grow crops under partial or fully controlled environmental conditions to get optimum level of productivity. ADVANTAGES OF GREENHOUSES: * The yield may be 10-12 times higher than that of outdoor cultivation depending upon the type of greenhouse‚ type of crop‚ environmental

Vegetables are also grown on top of the buildings‚ in several neighborhood rooftop greenhouses‚ and in-home hydroponics. Not having to use large trucking systems for transporting food reduces the amount of greenhouse gases‚ because people walk instead. In the Sister Solariums‚ each of the building’s floors are fanned out into a spiral during the day so that each floor gets equal amounts of sunlight

For the next part‚ I added a mini greenhouse‚ it’s just a smaller version of the huge greenhouses that can store and fit acres of plants and people can go in out from.

there is the ability to run a computerised plant control system which controls the heat and ventilation of the greenhouse. It is likely that there will be different requirements for the system through the year. Alteration on the computer programme will allow the greenhouse environment to be adjusted which will help the growth of certain plants. Building a state of the art greenhouse with a computerised environmental control system will enable Progress Plants to create the best possible conditions
