Will adding inner glazing films improve Greenhouse performance? A Thermal Analysis
Introduction: Accurately quantifying the actual R-value of components with variable characteristics, such as air gaps, is critical in sustainable greenhouse design. This is particularly important when assessing the potential economic value of changes intended to improve greenhouse efficiency. Obtaining effective standard measures can be difficult; R-values are not always published, and the R-value of some…
