ENVS50 class final web report (~Spring 2021) detailing GAHT/climate-battery greenhouse design research, farmer interviews (including Hip Peas Farm climate battery), zoning constraints, and recommendations for Dartmouth Organic Farm. Report title frames Big Green Energy House as lighthouse model relying on passive solar design and geothermal energy via GAHT system. Documents outreach to farms with/without climate batteries; Hip Peas Farm experience with 4-season climate-battery greenhouse cited. Discusses experimental design with two climate-battery zones for efficacy testing; notes soil thermal mass advantages vs water barrels (~1.33× heating capacity per appendix cited in report). References Ceres GAHT system materials and Schiller/Plinke textbook.

Student capstone synthesis, not peer-reviewed journal article.
