A student analysis of the design problems and solutions between building a greenhouse for a hot, arid climate of Irvine, California versus a temperate climate of Buffalo, New York. Research was used a procedure method to arrive to the most utilitarian decision. This thesis will further elaborate on the specific design decisions made, the solutions proposed, and the climatic aspects that still need to be considered and/or implemented when the GRoW House relocates to the University at Buffalo South campus.
