Abstract
ALVAREZ-SANCHEZ, Ervin; LEYVA-RETURETA, Gustavo; PORTILLA-FLORES, Edgar and LOPEZ-VELAZQUEZ, Andres. Evaluation of thermal behavior for an asymmetric greenhouse by means of dynamic simulations. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2014, vol.81, n.188, pp.152-159. ISSN 0012-7353. https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v81n188.41338.
In this paper is presented the design of an asymmetric greenhouse, with a simulation and evaluation of its microclimate by means of DesignBuilder®. Climatic and geographical conditions of the greenhouse location are processed with DesignBuilder®, which also allows to include the geometrical characteristics of the enclosure and its roofing, the properties of its building materials and a description of the climate control system. Three configurations of this asymmetric greenhouse are evaluated in order to analyze and compare their internal gains.
Keywords : asymmetric greenhouse; climate control; dynamic simulation; microclimate.
