Class B Greenhouse Model with Double Layer for Nordic European Countries

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents functional and structural possibilities of Class B greenhouses, which has a film covered, for areas with extreme winter temperatures and heavy snow loads, which are typical of a Class A model (glass or rigid film covered). This greenhouse study covers from its analysis in the design phase to its correct operation after construction, breaking patterns set by European standard, due to the structural design of the greenhouse, providing new possibilities for this type B, restricted to a specific geographical area so far.
