Wrap-up and Summary



You’ve installed the ultimate environmental control system, but how are you going to maintain the proper temperature during the dog days of summer? Why, with the ultimate greenhouse cooling system, of course. Natural or mechanical ventilation or a combination of the two could be the best way of keeping your plants as well as your employees from stressing out from the heat. While using natural ventilation, exhaust fans and fan-and-pad cooling may be the most common ways to cool greenhouses, there may be some alternative systems. So pour yourself a cool one, sit back and find out what other growers and industry researchers are doing to maintain the optimum greenhouse environment when outside temperatures start to heat up.
