Analyzing energy-saving options in greenhouse cultivation using a simulation model

de H.F. Zwart
TL;DR: In this article, a simulation model is presented that can be used as a tool to judge the energy-saving measures proposed in greenhouse gardening, and the results of the model on these options with respect to energy consumption and biomass production are compared with a reference situation.

Temperature Gradients in a Partially Shaded Large Greenhouse equipped with Evaporative Cooling Pads

TL;DR: In this article, a simple climate model is proposed which incorporates the effect of ventilation rate, roof shading and crop transpiration on greenhouse air temperature, and the model is calibrated by fitting temperatures in the middle and at the end of the greenhouse.

High vapour pressure deficit influences growth, transpiration and quality of tomato fruits

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of high vpd on tomato growth and transpiration rates was investigated in two glasshouse compartments under two vapour pressure deficit (vPD) levels: low vpd was obtained by increasing air humidity with a fogging system, and high vPD was obtained during sunny hours in a greenhouse where air humidity was not controlled.

Transpiration of greenhouse crops : an aid to climate management

TL;DR: In this paper, physical aspects of greenhouse climate are analyzed to show the direct interrelation between microclimate and crop transpiration, and it is shown that defining the transpiration rate as the criterion for the control of air humidity within a greenhouse would deliver a quantitative framework for that control.
