Abstract
This paper develops a thermal analysis of greenhouse performance using a single energy balance equation based on solar efficiency factor, overall energy loss coefficient, including the effect of thermal inertia by means of a third parameter.
The characteristic parameters are extracted from experimental data obtained on two types of greenhouse using linear regression analysis. Although very simplified, this thermal model explains about 80% of the variability of collected solar energy in a greenhouse.
