• This Web Site is Designed for Figuring: Heating and Cooling Requirements for Greenhouses.

• Reason for Designing Web Site: I am designing this web site because I am interested in starting my own nursery. Through research I found how difficult it is to determine what is needed to produce an efficient greenhouse. Without the correct heating and cooling requirements the environmental control for greenhouses is very difficult. I felt by showing nursery producers how to figure out some of these construction factors it would be much easier for them to construct a productive greenhouse.

• The Primary Audience for this Web Site: Nursery Producers

• Objectives of Web Site:
• How to figure surface area of different greenhouses.
• How to figure volume of different greenhouses
• Determining the Cooling and Ventilation Requirement for greenhouses.
• Determining the Heating Requirements for greenhouses
• How to calculate Heat Lost in greenhouses.

• Main Ideas of Web Site:
• What are the best glazing materials to use in greenhouses
• Why steam is more efficient than hot water for heating
• Where horizontal air flow fans should be placed in greenhouses
• The importance of Construction and Wind Factors
