What are we even doing?

The goal of this project is to design a working circuit to provide passive energy saving functions. Our scope is limited to a greenhouse. We will aim to control the lighting and heating of this greenhouse to showcase simple methods to save energy.  We will use Arduino and a breadboard to build a prototype that can be shown to save energy use. We will construct our own greenhouse to test this prototype.  We must work as a team because this will take all of our combined skills to deliver. We must accomplish, being a little lucky: building a greenhouse, building a circuit with an arduino, and coding the arduino. Luckily for us, the circuit isn't very complicated. Our greatest challenge will be in the code.
