   The notion of a greenhouse conjures up visions of everything from something barely larger than a terrarium to an expansive conservatory, like one found in the gardens of Biltmore Estate.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season_extension

   However, even if colder temperatures are mitigated, most crops will stop growing when the days become shorter than 10 hours, and resume after winter as the daylight increases above 10 hours. A hothouse — a greenhouse which is heated and illuminated — creates an environment where plants are fooled into thinking it is their normal growing season.

4. Cold frame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_frame

   The transparent top admits sunlight and prevents heat escape via convection that would otherwise occur, particularly at night. Essentially, a cold frame functions as a miniature greenhouse to extend the growing season. [1] Historically, cold frames were built to be used in addition to a heated greenhouse. The name itself exemplifies the ...

5. Greenhouse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse

   Solar energy can be captured from periods of relative abundance (day time/summer), and released to boost the temperature during cooler periods (night time/winter). Waste heat from livestock can be used to heat greenhouses, e.g., placing a chicken coop inside a greenhouse recovers the heat generated by the chickens, which would otherwise be ...

6. Hotbed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotbed

   A hotbed covered with a small glass cover (also called a hotbox) is used as a small version of a hothouse (heated greenhouse or cold frame).

8. Geothermal heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_heating

   A deep geothermal well was used to heat greenhouses in Boise in 1926, and geysers were used to heat greenhouses in Iceland and Tuscany at about the same time. [21] Charlie Lieb developed the first downhole heat exchanger in 1930 to heat his house. Steam and hot water from the geysers began to be used to heat homes in Iceland in 1943.

9. Building-integrated agriculture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building-integrated...

   In compost-heated greenhouses, heat and carbon dioxide are generated from a manure-based compost contained in a special chamber attached to one side of the greenhouse. [24] The New Alchemy Institute designed and built an experimental composting greenhouse in 1983 to research opportunities for the production of biothermal energy. [25]
