Tiny Greenhouse

I call this our Tiny-drivhus. The East side is a greenhouse for growing plants and for providing heat for the building. The West side is a well insulated space that will hopefully be heated with just heat from the sun.

Walls that won’t be plastered have a diffusion open “damp brake” with a Z-værdi of 12.6 behind the Troldtekt panels.
