Efficiency of Natural Ventilation in Central Greenhouse of Botanical Garden in Kosice

Abstract

Abstract. The object of paper is analysis of natural ventilation system in central greenhouse of Botanical garden in Kosice. The greenhouse was refurbished in 2015. The existing greenhouse covering from glass panels was replaced for polycarbonate panels. The ventilation system of central greenhouse is natural and there are used openings in covering (wall, roof). It is combination of thermally and wind driven ventilation. The main aim of contribution is to analyse different modes of natural ventilation during summer period mainly. The important factors that influence efficiency of natural ventilation in greenhouse are location and area of openings, temperature stratification in greenhouse, solar radiation level, wind speed and direction too. If the greenhouse is ventilated naturally only through external windows (roof windows are closed) the efficiency of ventilation is very poor. The defined modes of natural ventilation search the right location and size of opened windows in order to achieve the most efficiency ventilation of indoor environment. For this purpose the progressive dynamic simulation tool DesignBuilder is used where the geometrical and specific calculated model of whole central greenhouse was created.

Proses Desain, Rancang Bangun, dan Pengujian Greenhouse Lipat Modular Untuk Daerah Tropis

“…Sirkulasi aliran udara alami dapat dipicu adanya perbedaan tekanan udara antara dua titik didalam greenhouse baik disebabkan karena angin atau perbedaan suhu udara. Keberhasilan terjadinya aliran udara alami pada greenhouse juga dipengarui lokasi greenhouse, kecepatan, dan arah angin, serta tingkat radiasi matahari [15]. Berdasarkan dari target spesifikasi desain yang sudah ditentukan maka dibuat konseptual desain yang menjadi dasar pengembangan desain.…”

Optimizing Greenhouse Design with Miniature Models and IoT (Internet of Things) Technology—A Real-Time Monitoring Approach

“…Another aspect that must be considered when discussing convective transfer is vertical temperature variation in a greenhouse. Complex calculation models have been developed to determine this thermal stratification [23][24][25].…”

Evaluation of Physical Burdens of Operators Using Ergonomics

“…Physiological studies, which are focused on the examination and subsequent evaluation of the functions of the human body during and after work, are the primary tool in the physiology of yield. [Kovac et al, 2010]. In practice, the most common and most sophisticated methods of physiological examination are [Kovac et al, 2010] an increase in employee satisfaction and thus an increase in the results achieved.…”

“…[Kovac et al, 2010]. In practice, the most common and most sophisticated methods of physiological examination are [Kovac et al, 2010] an increase in employee satisfaction and thus an increase in the results achieved. [Kachnakova et al, 2008] According to Sukalova [2010], workplace design is influenced mainly by the nature of work activity, workplace equipment, workplace mobility, organization of work at the workplace, the connection of the worker with the workplace (spatial, functional reference) and working position.…”
