[TRNSYS-users] greenhouse component

[David Bradley]

Stamatia,
  If you are dealing with a greenhouse that has 
glass walls and roof then you can pretty easily 
employ Type56. You can use on of the slab on 
grade models in the TESS Ground Coupling library 
to get a better estimate of the energy transfer 
between the greenhouse floor and the ground. If 
you are looking at a greenhouse that has a very 
low resistance skin (plastic sheeting) then you 
might look at the following (sent to me by 
Michael KUMMERT when I asked this same question):

You may find some information in a paper that was 
recently presented at the "Systems Simulation in Buildings" conference:

E. Mashonjowa, J. G.  Pieters, J. R. Milford1, F. 
Ronsse, S. Denys, R. Lemeur - THE USE OF A TRNSYS 
BASED DYNAMIC GREENHOUSE CLIMATE  MODEL TO 
SIMULATE THE MICROCLIMATE IN A TYPICAL ZIMBABWEAN 
GREENHOUSE ­ in proc. of the 7th International 
Conference on System Simulation in Buildings
(SSB), Liège, Belgium, December 11-13.

The authors use the so-called "Gembloux Dynamic 
Greenhouse Climate Model (GDGCM)" that was 
originally written for TRNSYS 13 and was adapted 
and validated in TRNSYS 16. Another reference is:

Pieters J. G. and Deltour J. M. 1997. 
Performances of greenhouses with the presence of 
condensation on cladding. J. Agric. Engng. Research. vol. 68: p. 125-137.

Cheers,
  David
