“…All shading methods are to regulate the amount of solar energy entering the greenhouse and reduce the heating load in summer. Besides protecting plants against excessive heat load, shading significantly reduces the water requirement in arid regions [ 34 ]. Disadvantage of shading system that used curtain or screen below the roof of the greenhouse is that when the curtain or screen is fully deployed, it will decrease the effectiveness of the natural roof ventilation and negatively affect the greenhouse microclimate.…”

“…Uneven span greenhouse yields a better thermal performance in hot and arid environments as the exposed roof area is less and the straight face of the roof will further shade the greenhouse. Long greenhouses develop undesired air and temperature profiles, and consequently additional evaporative cooling pads will be required for controlling the indoor climate (Ali et al 1990). This study found that a greenhouse with an aspect ratio of 1:3 will have a lower temperature distribution along 80% of its length.…”

“…Shade net application with different perforated mesh size and their evaluation with respect to local climate and region is necessary to get cooling benefits in summer. Ali et al [18] developed an efficient greenhouse design for hot climatic conditions of Kuwait. Entry of solar radiation was allowed only from the roof of the even span greenhouse of 250 m 2 floor area where tomatoes were grown.…”
