OAKTREE URBAN EMBEDDED CLOSED CYCLE GREENHOUSES

1. CCG Energy Modeling1.1. Identify components of greenhouse and specify inputs and outputs to be modeled.1.2. Generate energy model.1.3. Evaluate model functionality, revise and optimize.1.4. Exercise model under several operational scenarios.Objective: Generate energy model that can estimate overall performance (incl. energy inputs, outputs, produce,), of the CCG under a variety of environmental and product scenarios.2. Greenhouse Design and BOM and Supplier Specification2.1. Use greenhouse model outcomes to create a high level greenhouse design.2.2. Specify off-the-shelf greenhouse shell and additional subsystems and components.2.3. Identify suppliers and subcontractors for greenhouse components and assembly.Objective: Generate a greenhouse design of sufficient detail to enable the identification of suppliers and subcontractors and overall pricing in preparation for a Phase II effort.3. Perform Techno-economic Analysis3.1. Generate techno-economic model.3.2. Exercise model, refine, and document results.3.3. Determine techno-economic viability of the CCG concept.Objective: Maximize key metrics such as levelized cost of heat and produce yield given primary model inputs such as CCG dimensions, structure costs, crop choice, solar insolation, etc.4.
