done a heat loss calc for a greenhouse?

Just wondering if there are any special considerations I don't want to forget about.

    Yes we have, a lot of glass and infiltration is what I found.

    Very high heat load. Good luck, Tim

    Don't forget...

    Night Sky Re-radiation. Make certain they have moveable insulated shields that can be placed between the glass and the plants, or even though you are covering the conductive losses, you'll still have frost burned plants, and the only way to overcome that is to raise the air temperature significantly. Like to around 80 degrees....

    Plants have feelings too, you know :-)
