Future Work

More work should be done to size and specify full-scale greenhouses, including retractable roof designs. Side vent placement to prevent plant damage and short-circuiting to the first roof vent is still being evaluated. Alternative shading techniques such as internal nets are also being studied for use in naturally ventilated greenhouses in both humid and arid desert climates. While span width studies have been limited by computer memory and speed, this problem is changing with each new computer.
