Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5099293· OSTI ID:5099293

Literature summarizing a study on the Saudi Arabian solar controlled environment agriculture system is presented. Specifications and performance requirements for the system components are revealed. Detailed performance and cost analyses are used to determine the optimum design. A preliminary design of an engineering field test is included. Some weather data are provided for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (BCS)
