Intelligent Temperature-Controlled Venlo-Type Glass Greenhouse Equipped with Precision Irrigation and Environmental Monitoring Systems
Material Properties: Uses tempered or float glass as the covering, which is heavy but highly transparent and chemically stable.
Installation & Maintenance: More complex and labor-intensive to install due to the weight of glass. Cleaning is easier as glass surfaces are smoother, but broken panels need immediate replacement for safety.
Thermal Insulation: Poor thermal insulation compared to PC sheets, often requiring additional insulation layers (e.g., double-glazing) to improve energy efficiency, which increases costs.
Cost: Higher initial investment due to expensive materials and installation. However, lower long-term replacement costs make it suitable for large-scale, long-term commercial operations.
