1.5) Gable height (G): This the height of the gable in feet. 1.6) U factor of single material wall: This is the heat transfer coefficient of the wall's material in BTU/hr.F ft2. Values of this coefficient for typical materials are shown in Table 1. 1.7) U factor of rafter material: This is the heat transfer coefficient of the rafter's material in BTU/hr F ft2. Values of this coefficient for typical materials are shown in Table 1. 1.8) U factor of roof material: This is the heat transfer coefficient of the roof's material in BTU/hr F ft2. Values of this coefficient for typical materials are shown in Table 1. 1.9) U factor of the perimeter: .This is the heat transfer coefficient of the perimeter in BTU/hr F ft. Values of this coefficient are shown in Table 1. 1.10) Number of individual bays: This is the number of bays that make up the greenhouse. 1.11) Number of air exchanges per hour: This is the number of times that the volume of air in the greenhouse is replaced per hour. Typical values can be seen in Table 2. 1.12) Temperature difference: This is the difference between the nightime desired inside temperature and the minimum expected outside temperature. This value is given in degrees Fahrenheit. 2) Gable/curved greenhouse using different material for the lower and upper wall. The required data to estimate the heat losses in this type of greenhouse (Figure 2) are: 2.1) Wall height (H): This is the height of the greenhouse wall in feet. 2.2) Lower wall height (B): This is the height of the lower wall in feet. 2.3) Upper wall height (A): This is the height of the upper wall in feet.
