Web Site: Greenhouse Design in the Yukon
This website has been developed to identify a number of factors that should be considered in developing a northern greenhouse. These include:
1 Geographic and climatic factors.
2. Design factors
3. Operational factors
4. Resources for northern greenhouses
Click on the factor you would like to explore.
A number of terms are used that should be clarified at the outset.
Solar gain (also known as passive solar gain) is the increase in temperature in a space or structure that results from solar radiation
Conduction is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient.
Convection is the movement of molecules within liquids and gases
Radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energetic waves travel through a medium or space.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid.
latent heat is the heat released or absorbed by a body during a change of state without change of temperature.
This website has been designed and developed by Bob Sharp, all the errors are his. All the good ideas are shared with many friendly Youkoners.
