2. ROOFTOP GREENHOUSES: Comparison between Farm builder and IDA ICE energy simulation software
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesignAbstract : Rapid global urbanization is a major concern for the food production system, as it is recognized that relying on conventional methods of distant large-scale farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is rooftop greenhouses (RTG), which are greenhouses built on unoccupied rooftops. READ MORE
