Abstract Climate control is one of the principal reasons to use a greenhouse. The efficiency of the control depends of the precision of the model that better describes the dynamics variables inside the greenhouse. Is presented a modification of a climate model in an greenhouse in order to include the effects of: air density variations due to humidity changes, the humidity addition by nebulizers, the use of shade cloths and the use of forced ventilation. Such effects are required for greenhouses located in the north-east region of Mexico, because the warm extreme climate makes the use necessary of these elements like economic resources of cooling, being essential to include in the model the above mentioned effects. The introduced modifications are validated by comparisons between real measurements carried out in a greenhouse in this region of Mexico through of simulations. The results in section 5 show that the proposed model has a better behavior when effects mentioned are included on sections 3 and 4.
