Mechanical Ventilation of a Greenhouse

by Clay Morris

Submitted : Fall 2008

This project investigates the volume of a greenhouse. Measurements were taken onsite of a greenhouse, then a function was found using Microsoft Excel. The volume of the greenhouse was found through integration, and then the maximum capacity of a fan was calculated using data from other research. With the data determined, it would seem impractical to attempt to mechanically ventilate a greenhouse; it is not cost-effective when energy costs are factored.
