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.
