Abstract

In Florida, greenhouse temperatures can easily exceed 100°F during the summer if they are not equipped with active cooling systems. Such high temperatures reduce crop quality and worker productivity. Evaporative cooling is the most common method for reducing the temperature inside a greenhouse, but it has limitations in our hot, humid climate. Air conditioning or refrigeration systems can be used, but their installation and operating costs are usually prohibitive. This 6-page fact sheet is a minor revision written by J. A. Watson, C. Gómez, R. A. Bucklin, J. D. Leary, and D. B. McConnell, and published by the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, September 2019.
