Tomato cultivation without artificial illumination in a modern glass greenhouse inThe United Arab Emirates
No shading screens are used
The temperature setpoints are equal across scenarios (a consequence of RTR-based temperature control), as light conditions are equal across scenarios

The cold production is expressed below as net sensible cooling power provided to the greenhouse by each cooling system. The pad and fan system also produces latent cooling power via evaporative cooling. The combined sensible and latent cooling power of pad and fan (3.2) was comparable with the sensible cooling power of mechanical cooling (3.3-3.4).   |

The water use of the natural ventilation Scenario (3.1) provides an indicator for comparison. The pad and fan system (3.2) requires tremendous amounts of water, which are lost to the exterior air. The closed greenhouse allows the mechanical cooling system to regain a significant share of transpiration (3.3-3.4). As a result, the pad and fan system requires ~5 times more water than the mechanical cooling system.   |
