Greenhouses for Nigeria

Humid heat: ventilation and dehumidification first, cooling capacity second. A dry-climate design fails here.

Site conditions to design against

Summer	28–35 °C, humid
Winter	22–32 °C, dry harmattan
Humidity	70–90 % in the south
Light	moderate to high
Wind	thunderstorms
Water	rainfall in the south, irrigation in the north

Regional ranges for early planning. Final loads and set points come from your own site data, or from a design value we propose for review.

Humidity	Air exchange, screening and disease control matter more than heating in this climate.
Cooling	Evaporative cooling is viable in dry air; in humid air it adds moisture and mechanical dehumidification takes over.
Water	Closed substrate systems with drain recovery carry both the agronomy and the business case.
Winter design	Heating, insulation and snow loads are a second design case. Phasing a spring-to-autumn house first keeps capital off the critical path.

A large domestic market with growing protected production close to cities, where transport and cold chain decide the price as much as the house.
