摘要

The effect of various designs of thermal draperies and double glazing on the heat loss from a passive solar greenhouse was studied. Several configurations were tested with the four major materials: single glazing, double glazing, thin drapes, and insulated drapes. Tests were performed only on calm rights and the results are presented. Details on the materials used is included along with several photographs and diagrams depicting the solar greenhouse.
