The problem
Greenhouses use fans, fogging and heaters inefficiently, wasting energy.
What to build
Create a controller that tracks temperature, humidity and light, and meets crop targets with minimum energy.
Success looks like
Targets held within range while energy use falls versus a thermostat baseline in a test.
