Operation
The beach grass wall has little in the way of operation. It passively absorbs solar radiation during the day and emits heat during the night, helping to modulate the temperature in the greenhouse. The rest of the greenhouse requires monitoring and active support. The following guidelines should be followed to operate it successfully:
- Monitor humidity and temperature daily
- If humidity is low, spray the crushed rock floor with water to allow the water to be added to the air in the greenhouse.
- Open vents to increase airflow.
- Roof vents should open automatically with increased temperature in the greenhouse
- During the day, when the roof vents are open, the ground vents should be open to allow air to flow through the greenhouse.
- Side vents can also be opened to increase air flow and to provide humidity control when it is not hot enough to operate the roof vents.
- Weekly wash the greenhouse glass inside and out to allow maximum sunlight into the greenhouse.
Maintenance
Introduce this maintenance section.
Schedule
This is when to maintain what. We are still working on the best format for this. It may be a table eventually, but for now use the bullets below.
- Daily
- A daily task
- A daily task
- Weekly
- a weekly task
- a weekly task
- Monthly
- a monthly task
- a monthly task
- Yearly
- a yearly task
- a yearly task
- Every __ years
- task
- task
Instructions
This is how to maintain. The step by step how to template {{How to}} is most likely best for this part.
Troubleshooting
This is only how to troubleshoot basic operation. For complex issues, the solution might just say contact ________. It should be a table in this format:
| Problem | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Example issue | Example solution or suggestion |
| Does not turn on | Make sure it is plugged in |
| Another issue | Et cetera |
Suggestions for future changes
This is where to lay out suggestions for how to make the project function better in the future.
