Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for the thermal model of a barrel vault style
greenhouse (metal half hoops with one or two sheets of thin plastic
stretched over them, enclosed on both ends but usually heavily
ventilated). I am not too concerned about the floor slab and ground
coupling aspect as we have good models for that already in TRNSYS. I
am more interested in the energy transfer through the skin of the
greenhouse and ideally, a radiation balance on the interior. Is
anybody aware of research that has been done in this area and whether
models have been developed? I am looking more for models of the
fundamental energy transfers and not as much for approximations that
can be made using work-arounds in existing tools. Any help or
direction that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
David
