A Time-Dependent Model for Predicting Thermal Environment of Mono-Slope Solar Greenhouses in Cold Regions

Most greenhouses in the Canadian Prairies shut down during the coldest months (November to February) because of the hefty heating cost. Chinese mono-slope solar greenhouses do not primarily rely on

Development of a Building Energy Simulation Model for Control of Multi-Span Greenhouse Microclimate

In this study, we propose a building energy simulation model of a multi-span greenhouse using a transient system simulation program to simulate greenhouse microenvironments. The proposed model allows

Parametric study on a simplified model for the estimation of the heating and the cooling loads of a closed-span greenhouse: a case study in Korea

The modeling of greenhouse heating and cooling loads at the required operating conditions is important for greenhouse managers or planners. However, the conventional model for the greenhouse thermal

TRNSYS Simulation and Experimental Validation of Internal Temperature and Heating Demand in a Glass Greenhouse

The energy demand in greenhouses is enormous, and high-performance covering materials and thermal screens with varying radiometric properties are used to optimise the energy demand in building energy

Effect of Greenhouse Design Parameters on the Heating and Cooling Requirement of Greenhouses in Moroccan Climatic Conditions

Key design parameters that affect the thermal behavior and the heating/cooling energy need of a greenhouse situated in Agadir (Morocco) are investigated, and it is indicated that the East-West greenhouse orientation is the optimum orientation and can reduce the annual cost of air-conditioning of the greenhouse by 9.28% compared to North-South orientation.

Effect of the ridge position ratio on the thermal environment of the Chinese solar greenhouse

This paper clarified the mechanism of the south and north roofs' effect on the thermal environment of the Chinese solar greenhouse (CSG), using a new parameter: ridge position ratio (RPR), which can

Temperature variations inside Chinese solar greenhouses with external climatic conditions and enclosure materials

Chinese solar greenhouses enable the extension of the crop growing season in the cold climate in Northern China with little or no additional heating. The temporal variations of the air temperatures

Research and Development of Software for Thermal Environmental Simulation and Prediction in Solar Greenhouse

Based on the theories of engineering thermophysics and greenhouse environmental engineering,the author built a dynamic model for the thermal environment in solar greenhouse,and used numerical
