Time to take Action is Now
We currently have several project in development for cost effective sustainable future. Ranging from small electronic project to help monitor and control energy functions with in a living stucture to greenhouse irrigation and control and controls of the environmental conditions
Electronic Projects - Arduino/ESP
we currently have in development two main projects -
1) GTI limiter/diverter - this arduino project ( based on emontx sheild) monitors the energy produced by solar and wind production and adjust power output to the grid- for regions that do not support net metering
2) Solar thermal metering - monitor energy produced by evacuated solar tubes and enters the data into data base for historical records.
both project transmit their data via MQTT to small pi device to whic it is stored an a data base and display on webbased dashboard ( freeboard)
Green Energy Projects
Green energy projects Our ultimate goal of cost effective sustainable living. we developed a Hybrid geothermal/ solar heating system where the majority of the heat produced for the living environment is produced by solar and stored in thermal buffers. the geo thermal provides auxiliary heat sources in case the there is not enough sunshine to produce enough heat. Currently over conventional heating system. the heating system uses about 80- 90% less energy to heat a standard R2000 living space .
GreenHouse Projects
We are currently experimenting with various greenhouse designs. to develop low energy requirement for harsh environments. Our greenhouses are bases on the original Manitoba Greenhouse developed by the U of Manitoba. though currently on the internet you will find them called "Chinese Greenhouse". the primary difference between our greenhouse and the later is the secondary auxiliary heat source- geothermal -- While our goal is not to produce food 365 day per year only to extend growing season and plants that can be grown and harvested locally - ie growing peach and nectarine trees in central Manitoba
