Abstract
We have analysed the performance of a greenhouse suitable for use in t he summer season when the temperature inside the greenhouse may have t o be reduced for optimum plant growth. Cooling was achieved by integra ting the earth via an air tunnel with the greenhouse in a forced-circu lation mode. This technique also reduces irrigation requirements. The selection of optimum design parameters is described.
