Energy, 1996, vol. 21, issue 1, 61-65

Abstract: We have analysed the performance of a greenhouse suitable for use in the summer season when the temperature inside the greenhouse may have to be reduced for optimum plant growth. Cooling was achieved by integrating the earth via an air tunnel with the greenhouse in a forced-circulation mode. This technique also reduces irrigation requirements. The selection optimum design parameters is described.
