“…The prototype greenhouse had substan tially higher light transmission than the con trol only during periods of clear weather and low solar altitude, similar to the response of the original Brace Institute house (13). Dur ing cloudy periods the solid wall blocked more radiation than it reflected, as previously reported by Cerilli (6).…”

Considerable research on greenhouse energy conservation has been conducted since the escalation of fuel prices began in 1973. A variety of conservation techniques such as air-inflated polyethylene over glass (17) and thermal curtains (8, 24, 25) have been studied. Alternative energy sources such as solar energy (7, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19), waste heat from power plants (26) and deep mine air (23) have been examined. Unfortunately, commercial application of these techniques frequently results in reduced light transmission, growing area or precision of environmental control, offsetting the conservation potential.

“…Such greenhouses have been used by hobbyists for years, but only re cently has the applicability of this concept been tested for commercial use. Lawand et al (13) found increased winter light transmis sion and improved plant productivity in a re flective north wall greenhouse. Albright et al…”

Ornamental horticulture is concerned with the cultivation, production and use of plants and flowers for enhancement of the environment indoors as well as outdoors, where well planned landscape plantings not only improve the environment but also add to the esthetic and functional value of the area. In the U.S., the term commercial floriculture crop production applies to cut flowers, potted flowering and foliage plants, and bedding plants produced in heated glass or plastic structures, or out of doors.
