3) Quonset greenhouse. The required data to estimate the heat losses in this type of greenhouse (Figure 3) are: 3.1) House width (W): This is the width of the greenhouse in feet. 3.2) House length (L): This is the length of the greenhouse in feet. 3.3) Rafter length (R): This is the length of the rafter in feet. 3.4) Gable height (G): This is the height of the gable in feet. 3.5) U factor of rafter material: This is the heat transfer coeffici-ent of the rafter's material in BTU/hr F ft2. Values of this coefficient for typical materials are shown in Table 1. 3.6) 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. 3.7) U factor of the perimeter: This is the heat transfer coefficient of the perimeter material in BTU/hr F ft2. Values of this coefficient are shown in Table 1. 3.8) 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. 3.9) Temperature difference: This is the difference between the nightime inside desired temperature and the minimum expected outside temperature. This value is given in degrees Fahrenheit. Output The results of the program consist of the computed values of conduction, infiltration, and total heat losses. Results are expressed in BTU/hr. Conduction may be viewed as "the transfer of energy from the more energetic to the less energetic particles of a substance due to interaction between the particles" (Incropera and DeWitt, 1981). In the case of the greenhouse conduction heat losses are due to the difference between inside and outside temperature. These
