Greenhouse trials

Experimental greenhouses, measurement rigs and the odd tomato. Drag your own photos onto any frame below to fill it — captions can be edited straight on the page.

Experimental multi-span greenhouse used for the BES calibration work, Kyungpook National University, Daegu.
images/g2.jpg — thermal screen hot-box rig
Hot-box apparatus for measuring the overall heat transfer coefficient of energy-saving screens.
images/g3.jpg — air-to-water heat pump installation
Air-to-water heat pump serving the greenhouse heating and cooling loop.
images/g4.jpg — sensor array inside the crop canopy
Temperature and humidity sensors positioned through the canopy for model validation.
images/g5.jpg — solar reflector prototype, Edmonton

images/g6.jpg — TRNSYS / simulation screen or plot
A simulated versus measured heating-demand plot — the part of the work that decides whether a model is trustworthy.
Frames without photos are placeholders — send me the images you want here and I will slot them in, or drop them straight onto a frame.
