There are no strict prerequisites for enrolling in the Passive Solar Greenhouse Design course. However, to maximize the benefits of the course, there are a couple of areas where some foundational knowledge could be particularly advantageous:
- Basic Understanding of Permaculture Design: While not mandatory, having a foundational understanding of permaculture design principles can be very beneficial. This knowledge will help you grasp how your greenhouse can integrate into and complement the overall design of a property, aligning with sustainable and regenerative practices.
- Comfort with Using Spreadsheet Tools: As our Passive Solar Greenhouse Design (PSGD) tool is based on spreadsheet software, comfort with using basic spreadsheet functions will be helpful. Familiarity with tools like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets will allow you to navigate and utilize the PSGD tool more effectively for your greenhouse design.
These recommended areas of knowledge are not prerequisites but rather suggestions to enhance your learning experience and ease your journey through the course. If you’re new to permaculture or spreadsheet tools, don’t worry — the course is designed to be accessible and engaging, even for beginners. Plus, our community and instructors are here to support you every step of the way!
