Experimental results and modelling of humidity control strategies for greenhouses in continental and coastal settings in the Mediterranean region. II: Modelling of strategies

Resumen

Strategies for humidity control —with and without heating— were evaluated via simulations performed with a
previously developed model (see accompanying paper, this issue, part I). With heating, the best strategy combined the
use of a humidity setpoint with step control of the roof window, increasing the ventilation in line with the outside
temperature. Without heating, the best strategy again combined the use of a humidity setpoint with step control of the
roof window, but required ventilation to be increased in line with the inside air temperature
