Description: Solar radiation transmission and capture in single-span greenhouses were evaluatedby means of computer modeling and simulations. The quantity of solar radiation incident on an inside surface is governed by the geom etry of the greenhouse through the interception factor for direct radia tion and configuration factor for diffuse radiation. Simulated results were found to agree reasonably well with actual data obtained from a shed-type glasshouse and a conventional glasshouse.Computer runs using long-term average solar radiation data revealed that the green house shape and cover material had an obvious effect on the effective transmissivity of the greenhouse. Results of this study would be useful in applicationswhere the monthly average hourly solar radiation level inside the greenhouse enclosure needs to be accurately estimated for design purpose.
