Achieving good humidity control in your glasshouse with minimum energy use
A detailed, practical example of how to achieve good humidity control in the greenhouse while using the minimum amount of energy.
A balanced humidity control strategy
We have taken a look at example of an initial humidity control strategy used within a greenhouse at a UK nursery on a typical day in November. We examined the critical points in time throughout the day and the resulting temperatures and relative humidity, together with the setpoints used and the refinements that could improve the results even further.
Initial climate control settings for good humidity management
Have a close look at the temperatures and relative humidities resulting from our climate control setting strategy.
How to achieve better results in your humidity management
Find out how two minor changes to the climate control settings from the initial strategy could mean even better results for humidity control.
