Abstract:Anthropogenic climate change has caused worldwide extreme weather events including droughts, floods and heatwaves. It disproportionately affects developing countries through food insecurity. Greenhouse is important and relevant to the food-energy-water security in many regions. This study investigates the thermal behavior of photovoltaic evaporative cooling greenhouse made with eco-friendly coolers. The cooling potential of local plant materials was assessed under ambient conditions. Experimental thermal data … Show more
