Burning fossil fuels in greenhouses can provide a favorable environment for food production, resulting in 29% of total global greenhouse gas emissions . As a green and stable renewable energy source, solar energy has been widely used to improve the energy structure of greenhouses.
The enclosed structure forms the greenhouse effect and stores the solar energy into thermal energy. The energy transfer between indoor air and the enclosure is carried out by conduction, convection, and radiation. And the energy consumption to outside environment is mainly convection energy and ventilation including air infiltration energy.
Geometric Description A glass greenhouse mainly absorbs solar energy from its side where the solar radiation is applied, and PCM is filled into the double glazing unit located on this side. The double-layer glass unit filled with PCM is applied to a regular glass greenhouse, as shown in Figure 1.
Thermal volume increment of the indoor air of the CSG. Solar greenhouses are supposed to be carbon-consuming agricultural facilities. However, the unheated greenhouse often requires electric heating when used in high latitudes and cold regions, which consumes a lot of energy and increases carbon emissions.
