Greenhouses capture solar energy and use it to create a warm environment for food production.
They can also be used (using an appropriate design) to provide hot water,
Waste heat from industry can be used to heat greenhouses: Greenhouse waste heat exchange.
They may be built from many materials, including:
- Straw bales: [[Kiva's straw bale greenhouse
- Plastic bottles: Miniature greenhouses from plastic bottles and [[Plastic bottle greenhouse S]]
- Cobb: Sequatchie Valley Institute cobb houses
