Our organization produces low-cost plans, designs, and professional architectural drawings to promote eco-green technology globally.
All plans and designs include 2D/3D CAD, DWG, DXF PDF, and 3D SketchUp files for the DIY customer or any professional.
"Grow in the snow" technology, since 1972, to inspire the world... "We are the source".
NOTE: These are FREE, if you are a Library member. All these designs, plans, and publications are 'FREE' to you in the Eco Research Library!

- Eco Greenhouses: Pit Type - A pit type greenhouse is considered to be in the Eco greenhouse family, but is partially embedded into the earth. Although many believe they are energy efficient, the pit type designs are less efficient than our Ground Level Eco Greenhouses (Zero Greenhouse). Common issues: random flooding, even in normally well-drained soil, possible land slides, and lack of complete sunlight, due to the greenhouse being partially embedded into the ground. We have tested all models for many years and the new "Ground Level" greenhouses offer the best performance, safety, and easiest maintenance overall.
- Eco Greenhouses: Ground Level Type- The newly designed ground level Eco Greenhouses are the most efficient and easiest to construct. They eliminate random flooding issues, and allow full, normal sunlight into all areas of the greenhouse. These are the most efficient, and least expensive Eco greenhouse to construct. Very compatible with all crops, including trees, and aqua culture.
- Grow Rooms - This is a completely sealed Eco greenhouse with exceptional strength and thermal efficiency, for both summer and winter. The grow room offers optimum energy efficiency, climate control, and utilizes LED lighting as the variable, cost-effective UV source. These are primarily used for the controlled climate growing of micro-greens, mushrooms, seedlings, some aquaculture, vertical farming, and medical cannabis crops.
- Thermal Batteries - The Thermal Batteries (TB) are Geo-air, or technically, Geo-Solar-air batteries. The unique GreenQuest Zero Greenhouse designs and technology are efficient in both the summer and winter, specifically for use with Eco Greenhouses, and Green Rooms. The 4' depth combines thermal mass, and geo-air tubes in one-layer. The 8' depths can combine either thermal mass and geo-air in both layers, or just one. The 10' Thermal battery is generally for growing fruit trees in a greenhouse. There are two types of TB, one uses Cement Block (CB) in the header air system, and the other uses a PVC (PV) grid header to support the geo-tubes in the header. Overall, we prefer the easy, fast construction of the PV type Thermal Batteries.
- Integrated Greenhouses - These are various 'greenhouse kit' integrations. We have chosen some standard designs from certain greenhouse manufacturers who use steel frames in their conventional greenhouses. By modifying these greenhouse designs, we have been able to properly 'integrate' our efficient Thermal Battery to create Eco greenhouse designs, and moreover, some extremely efficient Zero Greenhouse designs. This gives our members, customers, and the greenhouse manufacturers more options for year-around growing.
