Greenhouse with vacuumed walls
I want to solve locally grown greens for eating, to rely less on imported greens. With vacuumed walls, less heat conversion happens and wont highly effect the temperature in the greenhouse. With energy used to vacuum the walls of the green house in extreme climates, greenhouses will use less energy to keep them warm or cold on the inside. This will be more eco-friendly, cost efficient, and promote more greenhouse space
I just wanted to throw this pitch in here because having more locally grown greens is the best option and lots of money and waste is used to ship it.
Make the walls with with materials less thermal properties. The wall would need an outside plate and an inside plate separated by little support to hold the plates from breaking or bending. The walls can be made and tested to see if they can handle being vacuumed before being sent out to the buyer. The buyer would then have to vacuum and connect the pre-made walls together with the ceiling and insulated flooring so the dirt and roots wont freeze or dry up.
It would work as a normal greenhouse but would be cost effective for more extreme climates that would other wise make them useless.
This solution mostly effects the areas in the world with extreme climates that mostly rely on imported greens and cant cost effectively make their own. The greenhouses that have their own environment separated by vacuumed walls, walking through two doors and some special made vents would greatly improve more persuasiveness in growing greens. In every community you can find people who have a green thumb but are only using it in their gardens during summer or inside their houses with limited space and cant grow anything serious. This would add some jobs locally needed, and expect less imported greens that cause more pollution.
- Promote the shift towards low-impact, diverse, and nutritious diets, including low-carbon protein options
The problem is extreme temperature, high-cost to buy materials, and bulky walls don’t allow cost effective building materials for a greenhouse to be useful in a small community. Especially a small community with a inefficient greenhouse that can only be used during summer or heat
I would like to make greenhouses more accessible to the poorer areas and the areas that cant grow their own greens because of extreme climates. Also these walls can be bought by bigger companies for other properties allowing these walls to be more cost effective.
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
- A new technology
Its different because having large walls of any shape and size that can be vacuumed for less thermal conductivity can be revolutionary in cold climates to save space and money on materials needed to keep out the temperature.
Very Important fact is that these walls can be used for other buildings or a sound proof door.
Also if needed these walls can be disconnected from each other and used again in a different form. Compared to carrying around a heavy wall filled with insulation.
The walls can be clear. Which could make revolutionary windows with no cold air pouring down to the floor all day when its cold outside.
I don’t know. It can be made with any strong non-porous material in any shape and size. Especially with the materials and technology available today. Clear or not
Vacuums work. With very little objects touching especially poor thermal conductivity of the material there would be little heat conversion.

I don't own anything or if this idea will pass
This is just a proposed solution that can be used in different areas allowing the study of vacuums to be paid for by itself for MIT. Having materials that can be efficient in space would be helpful to exploration.
